The Florists^ Review 



January 20, 1921 



SOUTH BEND, IND. 



"The year 1920 was by far the larg- 

 est ill the number of sales and the 

 amount of money entered upon the 

 books in the history of our business," 

 said W. E. Beyer, of the Beyer Floral 

 Shop, formerly the Beyer Co. Mr. 

 Beyer's books show that the number of 

 sales increased each month of the year, 

 with Mothers' day taking the honors 

 for the biggest holiday. This firm car- 

 ries an advertisement in the Pink Part 

 of The Review and handles a large 

 amount of the telegraph business in 

 this city. The recent holiday business 

 was excellent. The demand for plants 

 far exceeded the supply. Cherry plants 

 were the favorites. 



Handling the largest number of tele- 

 graph orders yet, the South Bend Floral 

 Co. did a fine holiday business. Baskets 

 and cut flowers sold unusually well. 

 Cyclamen, poinsettia and primrose 

 l)lants were most in demand. The death 

 of George Gipp, famous football star 

 on the University of Notre Dame 's 

 eleven, was the cause of a large number 

 of orders to the florists of South Bend 

 and this firm had the order from the 

 students ' activities committee, which 

 called for a large blanket, 4x6 feet. 

 This floral piece, which received much 

 favorable comment from the news- 

 papers and the students, was carried out 

 in a gold and blue color scheme, the 

 school's colors. There was a border 

 of yellow narcissi and the body was of 

 carnations, dyed yellow and blue. In 

 the center there was a raised panel of 

 yellow narcissi and the letters, "N. 

 D.," in the form of the school's ath- 

 letic monogram, in violets. 



Williams the Florist experienced his 

 biggest Christmas business. His tele- 

 graph business was the best he ever 

 bad, both sending out and receiving 

 orders. The month of January, he says, 

 is always the dullest of the year, but 

 he is being kept busy with funeral work 

 and several wedding orders. 



The University of Notre Dame is 

 erecting another greenhouse, 2.")xG0 fcot, 

 for the growing of plants. This liuild- 

 ing gives the university throe liouses.
