Tbe Market. 



Now that Thanksgiving is over, every- 

 one is devoting his energy to preparing 

 lor the Christmas trade. Some, good 

 eyelamens, begonias and primroses are 

 to be seen. Chrysanthemums are still 

 abundant. Carnations are not so plen- 

 tiful as they were a week ago. Some 

 eallas are to be had. Good snapdragons 

 are being displayed. 



The Thanksgiving sales were quite 

 satisfactory and in some cases more 

 than met all expectations. There are 

 numerous calls for funeral designs. The 

 ealls for wedding flowers are not so 

 numerous as a week ago, but some of the 

 trade report small orders. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Beck reports a scarcity of car- 

 nations. They are used up as soon as 

 they bloom. His chrysanthemums are 

 exceptionally good this year. He has 

 some varieties on hand that will not 

 bloom until later. Funeral work still 

 keeps up. He is getting ready for the 

 Christmas trade and has some good 

 poinsettias, primroses and cyclamens 

 on hand. 



Victor Carwardine has received sev- 

 eral funeral orders lately and wedding 

 work is also plentiful. He used large 

 •quantities of laurel roping and numer- 

 ous bay trees and palms in decorating 

 for an affair given by the Union Metal- 

 lic Cartridge Co. recently. 



The Arcade Flower Shop had good 

 sales for Thanksgiving. Most of the 

 sales were cut flowers. This firm is be- 

 ginning to decorate some of the stores 

 for Christmas. 



Bobert Hawkins says that the rainy 

 weather which we had on the day before 

 Thanksgiving made the florist rather 

 gloomy, as the outlook for counter trade 

 was not promising. However, he more 

 than made up for this on Thanksgiving 

 morning and reports that the results 

 were decidedly satisfactory. 



James Horan reports that general 

 trade has improved greatly in the last 

 few weeks. Large quantities of cut 

 flowers and a good number of flowering 

 plants were disposed of for Thanks- 

 giving. This firm made a blanket of 

 pink chrysanthemums and violets re- 

 cently. !• L. B.
