specimen flowers in all varieties. Bon- 

 naffon was in greatest demand, with 

 Seidewitz, Chadwick, Eaton and Dr. 

 Enguehard next in order. All pompon 

 varieties sold with a rush at prices not 

 out of reason. 



TheTe was a big shortage in roses, 

 although the supply was good, consid- 

 ering that the local growers were off 

 crop. The many weddings caused a 

 heavy demand for white roses, which 

 were in shorter supply than the colored 

 varieties. The clean-up on these was 

 noticeable early both Wednesday and 

 Thursday. Carnations are also off crop 

 with the local growers and the demand 

 was much greater than the supply. The 

 shortage in these helped to clean up 

 the big supply in mums. The growers 

 expect to be in full crop again in roses 

 and carnations at the end of the mum 



season. Fancy violets brought as high 

 as $2 per hundred ; these, too, were short 

 of the demand. Sweet peas were in big 

 demand and the wholesalers had not 

 enough to fill advance orders. Sweet 

 peas, too, promise big crops after the 

 mum season. 



There was a good supply of Paper 

 Whites, snapdragons, stevia and calen- 

 dulas. Pot plants of any variety in 

 bloom sold well at high prices. Be- 

 gonias, cyclamens and mums were the 

 only plants offered; ferns did not at- 

 tract buyers to any extent. There was 

 a great demand for wild smilax during 

 the whole week and asparagus, smilax, 

 adiantum, in fact anything in the green 

 line, had a big call. 



A Record Thanksgiving. 



The leading west end florists say they 



never experienced a better Thanksgiv- 

 ing than this year's. F, C. Weber, 

 Joseph Witek, F. H. Weber, Sanders 

 and John Boren had admirable window 

 displays, which repaid in good sales at 

 good prices. M. S. Newman, Wald- 

 bart's and the Ayres Floral Co. all 

 had a busy Thanksgiving. 



Mullanphy Florists, Grimm & Gorly 

 and Fred Foster had all they could han- 

 dle with an extra force. 



Windier 'a Flowers, the Schoenle Flo- 

 ral Co., the Eggeling Floral Co., the 

 Bergstermanu Floral Co. and Carl Beyer, 

 in the south end, also experienced a 

 great run of trade in all lines. 



Vandervoort's floral department dis- 

 posed of an immense stock, as did 

 Young's and Ostertag Bros. So, judging 

 from these satisfactory reports, this
