There were '273 present at the dinner, 

 entertainment and dance given by the 

 A. L. Kandall Co., to its salesmen and 

 friends, at the Palmer House, Decem- 

 ber 30. A feature of tlie event was the 

 address by C. H. Fisk, who told of his 

 recent cxjilorations in tlie Orient. 



The notice of the monthly meeting of 

 the Chicago Florists' club, sent out Jan- 

 uary 1 by Secretary Lautenschlager, 

 was devoted principally to the ap- 

 j)r(i;ichiiig meeting of the American Car- 

 nation Society and Orowers' Associa-

"Business in Washington during the 

 year just closed,"' said David G. Grill- 

 bortzer, of the Washington Floral Co., 

 vice-jircsidi'Mt of the American Carna- 

 tion Society, wliiidi is soon to meet in 

 the iintidH.il caiiital, "will average up

 of 191 '.I.

 balanced I am sure the showing will be 

 satisfactory. 



"When I s]>eak of the year being a 

 successful one, I believe I can well 

 voice the sentiments of other florists in 

 this territory. Tlie Washington Fl(ir;il 

 Co. does both a wholesale anrl retail 

 business, and when 1 say onr wh(desale 

 business has been exception;illy good, it 

 can readily be seen tliat the business of 

 our customers was proimrtionately good, 

 because of the amount of stock they 

 consumed. 



"The future liolds for all of us many 

 puzzling situations. This is the period 



there would be a marked falling;

IT IS SURPRISING 



how each year there are more 

 cut flower buyers in this market. 



IT IS NOT SO SURPRISING 



why so many retail florists do 

 such a big retail business, and 

 buy all the cut flowers they have 

 to sell.

another one of those retail flo-

 that he now buys all the cut flow-

 falling prices in all lines, the florists 

 will not be able to secure the prices that 

 have prevailed during the last few 



years. I do believe, however, that when 

 our books are closed this time next year 

 the returns for 1921 will not be disap- 

 pointing.
