The Florists^ Review 



January 1, 1920. 



holidays, although many late shipments 

 of flowers arrived. The supply of roses 

 at this time was good, but hardly suffi- 

 cient in quantity to meet the demand. 

 Ophelia, Columbia, Ward, Sunburst, 

 Scott Key and Hoosier Beauty were 

 quite popular. Cut poinsettias sold well. 

 Carnations were plentiful and sold well, 

 the reds going at exceptionally good 

 prices. Fine white sweet peas were in 

 good demand. Mignonette sold well. 

 Exceptionally fine stevia arrived and 

 moved well. There was a heavy demand 

 for double violets, the quality through- 

 out being good. Orchids and fine cypri- 

 pediums sold easily at good prices. Box- 

 wood, laurel, pine and other Christmas 

 greens sold well. Other gfreen goods, 

 such as smilax, asparagus, fern leaves, 

 maidenhair and galax leaves, were in 

 good supply and filled all orders. 

 Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. Clifford, carnation 

 growers, left New York Wednesday, De- 

 cember 31, on the S. S. Orduna for 

 a three months ' trip to England to visit 

 relatives and friends. 



Horace J. Head spent the Christmas 

 holidays in Hilton, N. Y., leaving De- 

 cember 24 and returning December 29. 



Among the many baskets and birch- 

 bark boxes seen in the H. E. Wilson 

 store at Christmas-time were some pret- 

 ty red tulips in full bloom. These 

 were the first seen in Rochester this 

 season. H. J. H. 



Temple, Tex. — The Temple Plant & 

 Floral Co., owned by Erwin Buehling 

 and L. Eben, has opened its green- 

 houses and nurseries on South Third 

 street. 



Sionx City, la. — Christmas business 

 was the largest ever known here. 

 Plants were in special request and were 

 first sold, but cut flowers cleaned up as 

 well. Because of the rush the recently 

 formed association of eighteen growers 

 postponed its meeting to January 5. 

 S. J. Michel, seedsman, did a big busi- 

 ness in greens. He sold four carloads 

 of Christmas trees.

Carnation Morning Glow 



Has now been on trial in the Boston Market for 4 years and has made good. 

 It is there considered one of the "bread and butter" Carnations. 

 The grower likes it because it is an easy doer. 

 The seller likes it because it is a splendid shipper and keeper. 

 The ladies like it for its rosy morning glow shade. 

 MORNING GLOW is early, free, with a good, strong stem. It has no tricks 



about it. -Ill 



.While not one of the largest, it is probably the most profitable of all Carnations 

 Sold by the originator. Rooted cuttings. 



$7.00 p^r 100; $65.00 per 1000.
