THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



A Merry Christmas and 

 a Glad New Year to All 



We wish all our friends 'a Splendid Christmas business and a Prosperous New Year. 



We want to express our hearty appreciation for the generous orders that have been 

 entrusted to us and we hope they may be continued throughout 1919. 



We want our friends to know that while our service has not been what we had hoped 

 and tried hard to make it, conditions were extremely adverse. The war, the draft, the 

 influenza, transportation, all held us back. We ask our friends to make allowances.

as the higher colors, and whites, usu- 

 ally druggy at the holidays, sold well. 

 Carnations sold at $12 to $15, a few 

 fancy reds going higher. The clear, 

 mild weather favored a large Christ- 

 mas crop. Violets were scarce. Some 

 nice Spencer peas were in and made up 

 to $5 per hundred. Chrysanthemums 

 were small and of poor quality as a rule. 

 Cut poinsettias sold at from $3 to $6 per 

 dozen bracts. Stevia, wallflowers and 

 calendulas were in fair supply. Cat- 

 tleyas sold at $9 to $15 per dozen, cypri- 

 pediums at $2. The plant trade broke 

 all records and cut flowers were a com- 

 paratively minor issue at the stores. 

 Cyclamens were in the lead. Plants 

 wholesaled at $7.50 each and a few 

 specimens as high as $12. Begonias 

 were second in favor, poinsettias also 

 moving finely. The trade in evergreens 

 was good, but the high prices of every- 

 thing restricted buying somewhat.

Club Meeting. 



There was a good attendance at the 

 meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club December 17, considering the near- 

 ness of the date to the holidays. Beso- 

 lutions on the death of John E. Block- 

 sidge, killed in action in France, were 

 brought in by the committee, W. N. 

 Craig, J. L. Smith and Peter M. Miller, 

 and adopted. A most interesting letter 

 was read from one of the club members, 

 Norman W. Hunter, a member of the 

 Pennsylvania engineers, who had been 

 in almost continuous action since the 

 I great July offensive opened.
