Eaton, Chadwick, Golden Wedding and 

 other late varieties brought as high as 

 $5 per dozen. The best Bonnaffons sold 

 for $3 per dozen. The supply of pom- 

 pons also was large. Carnations brought 

 the highest prices at Thanksgiving time 

 in years, $10 to $12.50 per hundred being 

 asked for good stock. At that the de- 

 mand was larger than the supply Novem- 

 ber 27 and 28. Koses, too, were held at 

 unusually high prices. There was a good 

 supply of Easter lilies at $2 per dozen. 

 Violets, sweet peas, valley and orchids 

 were not abundant and brought high 

 prices. A good supply of stevias and 

 calendulas was in the market. Greens 

 also advanced in price, the supply not 

 being plentiful.

all parts of the city. The only draw- 

 back from the retailers' standpoint was 

 the high prices. But the demand prin- 

 cipally was for mums and blooming 

 plants and both of these were in ade- 

 quate supply. 



In the west end F. C. Weber, Otto 

 Sander, Joseph Witek, F. H. Weber and 

 John Boerm had all they could do, and 

 Miss M. Newman, George Waldbart and 

 the Ayres Floral Co. reported the usual 

 heavy rush of business for the day. 



In the north end the Mullanphy Flo- 



rists, Bentzen Floral Co., Pieper Floral 

 Co. and Tower's say they were swamped 

 with business, as much funeral work was 

 coupled with the Thanksgiving call. 



The downtown florists, of course, did 

 the largest "business, and all the stores 

 were crowded the days before Thanks- 

 giving, while the call on the holiday was 

 excellent. Martin Sceger, of the Mul- 

 lanphy Florists, and Vincent Gorly, of 

 Grimm & Gorly, both say the demand 

 was much larger than in previous years, 

 with prices about double the normal.
