THE FIRST IMPRESSION. 



WHEN making a delivery the first impression is made by the box. 

 Of course the flowers contained in it cannot fail to please, but 

 you did not make the flowers. Your contribution toward the perfec- 

 tion of the whole is the box. A well made, neat and attractive box is 

 the only means you have to impress your connection with the tran- 

 saction, so why not make the box your opportunity to impress your 

 name on the memory of those who receive the flowers?

azaleas, which are quite scarce,- bego- 

 nias, cyclamens, poinsettias, etc., are 

 sold out by the growers, and in many 

 cases they have been sold out since De- 

 cember 1. Good blooming plants were 

 plentiful in this market, with more cyc- 

 lamens and begonias grown than ever 

 before. 



Cut stock promises to go the same 

 way, advance orders showing that the 

 retailer is alive to his opportunity. 



Various Notes. 



Joseph Hill, of Richmond, Ind., and 

 Henry Sheppard, of Hill's Cincinnati 

 store, were visitors recently. They took 

 in the wholesale market and called on 

 the downtown stores and a few green- 

 houses, under the guidance of Herman 

 Knoble. 



Alterations in the store of Knoble 

 Bros, are completed and the force is 

 ready for the rush. The firm now has 

 one of the best looking stores in the mid- 

 dle west; the improvements made have 

 worked wonders in the appearance of 

 the store. 



Monday evening, .January 8, the Flo- 

 rists' Club will hold a bulb night. Ex- 

 hibits of any flowering bulbous stock 

 will be appreciated. .Tohn Van Leeu- 

 wen, of Saasenheim, Holland, will ad- 

 dress the club on "Bulbs. " F. A. F.

The Market. 



The usual lull before Christmas was 

 not so marked this season. Last week's 

 business was most satisfactory; the sup- 

 ply of stock was not equal to the de- 

 mand. The cold weather had a tend- 

 ency to shut off the supply of roses, but, 

 then, most of the growers were holding 

 stock back as much as possible for 

 Christmas. Perhaps never before have 

 there been so many mums for Christmas 

 as this year. 



Beauties are of excellent quality and 

 in sufficient numbers, and there has been 

 a good demand for them during the last 

 few weeks. Other varieties of roses also 

 are excellent. Without a doubt higher 

 prices will be paid this year than ever 

 before and retailers will be glad to get 

 stock at anv figures. Killarnov, which

Carnations have been selling at a 

 good figure, but the price will soar still 

 higher. Some extra fine blooms of Ward 

 are coming in, with Beacon and En- 

 chantress following closely. Lilies are 

 more abundant, many of them arriving 

 from eastern points. Paper Whites are 

 plentiful. Orchids and valley are en- 

 joying a better demand, and it seems 

 that violets, both double and single, will 

 again roach their former goal, as the
