The Florists^ Review 



Dbcember 25, 1919 



LOWELL, MASS. 



The Maxket. 



There are still a few nrnms to be had, 

 chiefly such varieties as Bonnaifon and 

 Seidewitz, in small blooms, and also baby 

 pompons. 



Potted plants moved so well that it 

 seemed scarcely likely there would be 

 sufficient to meet the demand expected, 

 for they were not plentiful. Ordinary 

 grades of carnations are being quoted 

 by the wholesalers at $10 per hundred, 

 while for red varieties $20 to $25 is 

 being asked. 



No azaleas have been seen or heard 

 of and it appears to be generally con- 

 sidered that the cyclamen will be the 

 Christmas favorite from now on. Judg- 

 ing by the beautiful and shapely speci- 

 mens grown in Massachusetts, they will 

 easily hold a first-rank position. 



Various Notes. 



Kenny, Florist, 185 Central street, last 

 week had a dainty arrangement in his 

 show window, consisting of coleus, red 

 begonias, cyclamens and baskets of foli- 

 age, red berries, etc. 



James J. McManmon visited Boston 



December 10, looking for implements for 

 his farm and buying holly. This firm 

 was in good shape for Christmas trade, 

 being well supplied with all kinds of 

 potted plants, including a splendid 

 batch of cyclamens and a good crop of 

 carnations. 



C. Eobinson, of the H. M. Robinson 

 Co., was optimistic regarding the prices 

 stock would bring for Christmas and 

 regarding the amount of business, say- 

 ing that people would readily pay the 

 higher prices. E. E. R.
