The Florists' Review 



Jandabx 4, 1917. 



MEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



Tlie Market. 



Everything cleaned up well for Christ- 

 mas. Prices on all stock were unusually 

 high, but business was good just the 

 same. The trade in general seemed 

 satisfied with the amount of busi- 

 ness done. The principal items were 

 azalea, cyclamen, begonia, primrose, 

 poinsettia and heather plants. Among 

 the cut flowers, red carnations of course 

 were the favorites and sold for $1.50 to 

 $2 per dozen. Carnations in other colors 

 sold for $1.25 and $1.50. Eoses were 

 of good quality, but not plentiful. , 



Various Notes. 



Julius, the Florist, undoubtedly car- 

 ried the largest stock in town, and he 

 disposed of it all. He reports his Christ- 

 mas business the best ever. 



Fred Covill did a tremendous holiday 

 business. Baskets sold well with him, 

 and he certainly had some original cre- 

 ations in that line. He also used many 

 azaleas. 



William E. Mosher carried a large 

 stock of Christmas trees. He disposed 

 of all his own trees and then bought up 

 all that the other florists had. He had 

 no trouble in selling them. Mr. Mosher 

 also carried a large and varied stock of 

 flowering plants, for which he found a 

 ready market. He is well satisfied with 

 his holiday business. W. M. P. 



WESTERLY, R. I. 



George L. Stillman is sending out hia 

 annual dahlia catalogue, in which he 

 lists more than 1,200 varieties.
