KAHLER REAL RED POTS 



The new quality of our product has more than doubled our output in six months. Our 

 experience has proved the necessity for a TOUGH, "REAL RED," yet very POROUS 

 flower pot. Allow us to prove our statement by expressing to you samples.

 prices. Azaleas were especially scarce; 

 many florists had, none in stock and 

 those who succeeded in getting one or 

 two dozen plants ponsidered- themselves 

 fortunate. These j'plants sold at $5 and 

 $6 each. Begonia<i were of high quality 

 and sold at from $2 up. Cyclamens were 

 also excellent and ranged in price from 

 $3 to $10. Boston ferns sold at from $2 

 to $12 each. Cincinnati red cherries and 

 Jerusalem cherries sold in considerable 

 quantities. 



Roses were scarce and high-priced. 

 No. 1 roses cost at wholesale $15 per 

 hundred and extras were $20 per hun- 

 dred. Carnations were also high in 

 price, retailing at from $2.50 to $5 per 

 dozen. Sweet peas sold at 10 cents per 

 bloom or $2.50 for a bunch of twenty-five. 

 Because of the high prices of cut flowers, 

 dealers reserved the right to substitute 

 plants on telegraph orders, if the flowers 

 could not easily be obtained or if the 

 price proved prohibitive. 



Various Notes. 



Growers in this part of New Jersey 

 are breathing more easily since the set- 

 tlement of the coal strike. "While there 

 was no actual curtailment of the coal 

 supply, there was danger for those who 

 only had a small supply on hand, had 

 the strike continued. 



Philips Bros., 938 Broad street, had an 

 excellent Christmas trade, with a heavier 

 sale of plants than of cut flowers. 



Henry A. Strobell, 931 Broad street, 

 found azaleas especially scarce, but 

 poinsettias and many other potted plants 

 more plentiful than a year ago. 



Fred Wolfinger, 883 Broad street, had 

 a notably attractive Christmas window 

 display. R- B. M.
