The Florists^ Review 



Dbcbmbbb 2, 1920 



nominations of officers. Principal offi- 

 cers were nominated as follows: Presi- 

 dent, William H. Judd; vice-president, 

 Harold A. Eyan; secretary, William N. 

 Craig; treasurer, James Methven. 



Thomas Eoland had a fine lot of Erica 

 melanthera for Thanksgiving, in addi- 

 tion to splendid cyclamens, begonias, 

 ferns and other plants. 



Sidney Hoffman, at his Massachusetts 

 avenue store, featured choice foreign 

 and domestic fruits largely, in addi- 

 tion to plants and cut flowers, and his 

 baskets of fruits and flowers were so 

 attractive that there was little wonder 

 that they met with a large sale. 



A. A. Pembroke, of North Beverly, 

 now operates two large retail stores in 

 Salem, and business in both is satis- 

 factory this season. He grows a large 

 proportion of the plants used, such as 

 cyclamens, begonias, ferns, solanums, 

 chrysanthemums, etc. In carnations, he 

 now grows principally Benora, White 

 Benora, Pink Delight and Matchless, 

 with smaller lots of Rosette and one or 

 two other sorts. One large house is 

 planted with Columbia and Ophelia 

 roses and a house of sweet peas has 

 been in crop since early in October. 



There will be a further exhibit of 

 orchids from A. C. Burrage, of Beverly 

 Farms, at Horticultural hall, December 

 18. This will be the last of twelve 

 notable displays made during 1920, un- 

 questionably the most extensive and 

 varied orchid displays over seen in 

 America. They have been viewed by 

 thousands of visitors on each occasion 

 and have done much to encourage the 

 love and culture of these beautiful 

 plants. W. N. C.

The Market. 



Thanksgiving week found the market 

 pretty well cleaned up, and, while some 

 of the retailers have complained that 

 business has not been so good as here- 

 tofore, the trade in general agrees that 

 it was far better than a year ago. Of 

 course, had the weather conditions been 

 better, business naturally would have 

 had more snap, but, as it was, we can- 

 not complain. There seemed to be a 

 decided scarcity of large mums, while 

 carnations and roses were also inade- 

 quate to take care of the demand. 

 There seemed to be plenty of pompons.

Garza moving more slowly, than any 

 other. The wholesale houses here all 

 closed Thanksgiving day with the ex- 

 ception of one, which was open only 

 for about two hours and reported poor 

 business for that short time. 



A few mignonettes and some myosotis 

 made their appearance, while white and 

 yellow narcissi arrived in good supply. 

 Local roses were good, although some 

 retailers complained that even these 

 were too tight. 



Various Notes. 



John Kirchner has just returned from 

 an extensive tour through New York 

 and Pennsylvania, spending two weeks

 of his brother's delivery trucks.

 Cleveland Cut Flower Co., is now with
