Red Satin Ribbons 



FOR CHRISTMAS 



We offer a very special lot in Nos. 40, 60 and 80 

 at prices in conformity with the movement of 



Down With High Prices 



The quantity is limited. Get busy at once. This is the 

 cheapest red satin ribbon on the market today. 



LION AND COMPANY, 118-120 East 25th Street, New York 



Mention The Review when you write. 



About $6 per dozen is the average top 

 price, with selected flowers of some of 

 the finer varieties bringing as much as 

 $9. These prices, of course, apply to 

 absolutely fresh stock; to remove occa- 

 sional congestion they are materially 

 shaded. Pompons and singles are bring- 

 ing from 35 to 75 cents per bunch. 



Violets at the close of the week were 

 in short supply, owing to a large de- 

 mand for them arising from the Yale- 

 Harvard football game, and the asking 

 price was $4 per hundred, although 

 actual sales at $2.50 per hundred be- 

 came at the end the rule rather than 

 the exception. The violet supply is 

 likely to be light for a little time, due 

 to weather conditions lately experienced. 

 In miscellaneous flowers there are snap- 

 dragons, calendulas, pansies, bouvardia 

 and sweet peas. 



Various Notes. 



A well attended meeting at the Hotel 

 Imperial Monday evening, November 15, 

 marked the rejuvenescence of the Asso- 

 ciated Eetail Florists of New York. The 

 activities among the other trade bodies 

 in this section in the direction of pub- 

 licity for flowers have been the cause of 

 the awakening of this organization. 

 Various members of the organization 

 were responsible for a large number of 

 new members taken into the association 

 at this meeting, and it looks as though 

 the retail trade from now on will have 

 an organization of which it may be 

 proud. G. E. M. Stumpp presided, and 

 Wm. H. Siebrecht, Jr., acted as secre- 

 tary. Ofiicers elected at the meeting 

 were as follows: President, E. J. Hes- 

 sion; vice-president, H. Perry; treas- 

 urer, C. H. Brown. To the president was 

 given power to appoint a secretary. 

 Directors are E. J. Hession, Marshall 

 Clarke, Max Schling, A. T. Bunyard, E. 

 J. McCarthy, G. E. M. Stumpp, Henry 

 Hart, Wm. A. Warendorfif, Wm. A. 

 Phillips and Adolph Meyer. 



A meeting of the flower show commit- 

 tee was called for Monday, November 

 22, at the secretary's office, at which 

 arrangements in progress for the exhibi- 

 tion were discussed. 



To be dead, buried and have one's 

 memory slated for an official memorial 

 while yet alive is the lot of few mortals.

M. C. Wright, the well-known repre- 

 sentative of the Lord & Burnham Co., 

 located in Chicago, is assuring his many 

 friends in the east that he is quite alive, 

 notwithstanding the report in an east- 

 ern contemporary that at the recent 

 meeting of the New York Florists' Club 

 a resolution of sympathy upon his death 

 was passed. It was reported at the 

 meeting that Mr. Wright had "cashed 

 in," but it was only as regards his 

 membership in the club, which he regret- 

 fully relinquished for the reason that 

 his field of activity for some time had 

 been outside the sphere of the club. 



The approach of the Christmas season 

 is evidenced in the arrival of quantities 

 of lycopodium and other greens, which 

 are going into cold storage.
