Miss Kennedy Sings Our Song. 



Three hundred florists and their 

 friends, probably the largest party of 

 our trade which ever attended a show 

 in a body, gave Miss Frances Kennedy 

 an ovation^ welcome at the Majestic 

 theater Tuesday evening, November 25. 

 A. Lange had placed over 200 of our 

 people in a group on the main floor and 

 there were at least 100 more scattered 

 through the house. The song, "Say It 

 with Flowers," the singer and the floral 

 decorations were a hit. 



After the show there was a lively 

 supper party at the Hotel Morrison, 

 with Miss Kennedy as guest of honor. 

 All the florists and their families had 

 been invited to participate, a special 

 room had been engaged and the whole 

 affair made a fine start for the admin- 

 istration of President Asmus. 



The management of the Majestic is 

 playing up the act, taking advantage of 

 tlie trade's cooperation. The lobby is 

 profusely decorated. Monday and Tues- 

 day the decorations were by the Bo- 

 hannon Floral Co., Wednesday and 

 Thursday by A. Lange; Friday and Sat- 

 urday they will be done by Andrew 

 Chronis, of the Alpha Floral Co., with 

 J. L. Easke decorating for the big Sun- 

 day crowd. 



Christmas Greens. 



With the passing of Thanksgiving, 

 Christmas greens come into the fore- 

 ground. All the conditions point to a 

 big demand this year. 



Lycopodium, known by various 

 aliases, is and probably will continue 

 scarce. It is said to be selling freely at 

 16 cents per pound. Eeport has it that 

 one house holds most of the visible sup- 

 ply, the result of being the early bird 

 and equipping its buyer with cash 

 money.

 at $6.50 to $7 per case. Ten days ago 

 the market looked like $8. 



Boxwood is selling well, retail florists 

 now using more of it than of any other 

 Christmas green, for baskets as well as 

 wreaths. Considerable quantities have 

 arrived. Most of it is the woody grade, 



but it is selling well at $25 per 100 

 pounds, with a prospect of a rise. The 

 short sprays are $30.
