The Florists^ Review 



January 1, 1920. 



CLEVELAND, O. 



The Market. 



■the market was well cleaned up after 

 the Christmas rush. Business was ex- 

 ceptionally heavy and everything 

 moved nicely with the exception of a 

 few delayed shipments. Many retailers 

 were cleaned out of flowers completely. 

 Plants sold well. Poinsettia plants were 

 scarce and brought a good price. Christ- 

 mas weather was good and gave the 

 florists near the cemeteries a good 

 chance to clean up their stock of 

 wreaths. 



Cut flowers proved more satisfactory 

 this Christmas than in previous years, 

 as there was little "pickled" stock in 

 the market; few complaints were heard. 

 Boses and carnations arrived in good 

 quantities. Eoses brought from $15 to 

 $35 per hundred. Carnations cleaned up 

 at $15 per hundred. American Beau- 

 ties were scarce and there was little de- 

 mand for them because of the high 

 prices asked. Violets were short of the 

 demand and brought $3r per hundred. 

 Sweet peas were scarce. Stevia was 

 aviiilable in good quantitioa-and cleaned 

 up well. Narcissi were short of the de- 

 mand and brought $8 per hundred. Cut 

 poinsettias were scarce and sold at from 

 $3 to $6 per dozen. The poinsettias 

 were the best seen on this market for 

 some years, the bloom and color being 

 good. Daisiesj calendulas, wallflowers 

 and other novelties were in demand. 

 SThe market was well supplied with 

 greens. 

 v.. ''.'^i , v.:> Various Notes. 



All wholesale houses, with the ex- 

 ception of the J. M. Gasser Co., were 

 closed Christmas day. 



Walter Havlichek, in the employ of 

 -the Cleveland Cut Flower Co., was mar- 

 ried Christmas day. 



L. Anderson cut some of the best 

 poinsettias seen in this market. 



W. F. B. 



Helena, Mont. — The State Nursery & 

 Seed Co. used a half-page for its Christ- 

 mas advertisement in the Montana Rec- 

 ord-Herald and reports a general clean- 

 up on plants and cut flowers. Cycla- 

 mens were particularly good sellers.
