The Florists^ Review 



JANOABY 8, 1920. 



YOU WILL MAKE NO MISTAKE 



in placing the order for your next year's greenhouses now. The best 

 grade of the old genuine Louisiana Red Gulf Cypress is scarce and will 

 be more so next spring, while the cost of labor will be higher than it 

 is now. 



Our patent LEAK- PROOF locked gutter has proven a success. If 

 you are not using the same as yet, do so on your next houses and we 

 know we can add your name to our list of satisfied customers.

CINCINNATI, O. 



The Market. 



In fresh flowers the outstanding fea- 

 ture of the Christmas business was, per- 

 haps, the big demand for cut poinset- 

 tias; most shops sold out clean in all 

 sizes. Another feature was the big 

 demand for red berries. One florist 

 handled over fifty boxes, most of which 

 were shipped direct from Wisconsin. 



Poinsettia centerpieces, when arranged 

 with red berries and pussy willow, were 

 in big demand. 



Cut flowers, corsage bouquets and 

 plant arrangements sold equally well. 

 In decorative work, this season was far 

 ahead of former years. 



The demand for corsages is always 

 heavy holiday week, owing to the num- 

 ber of dances and entertainments ar- 

 ranged for the young folks who come 

 home for the Christmas holidays. While 

 last year was much below normal, on 

 account of the boys bein^ overseas, 

 this year the corsage business was all 

 the heavier to make up for lost oppor- 

 tunities and to express the joy of being 

 with the loved ones again. 



New Year's business was most satis- 

 factory to both wholesaler and retailer. 

 Stock of all kinds moved satisfactorily 

 and brought the desired prices. The 

 demand for flowers for parties ushering 

 the new year in was as brisk as in 

 former years, when John Barleycorn 

 was king. 



Various Notes.
