The Florists^ Review 



Decembeb 2, 1920 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



Tlic vdlumc (if business for Thiuiks- 

 giviiig was satisfactory. Stock was 

 more iiloiitiful tliaii during the previous 

 week, wlien an acute scarcity was felt 

 in several lines, due to weather condi- 

 tions. Out-of-town business was brisk 

 and the result was that almost every 

 kind of stock cleaned up well. Despite 

 the usual lull in business which follows 

 a holiday, the end of the week found 

 the wholesalers almost entirely sold out. 

 Table and hardy ferns were in large 

 demand, and the supply was good 

 througliout the week. Little stock of 

 any description went on the streets, due 

 to the sharp advances in price. 



Various Notes. 



We do not know who engineered this 

 deal, but a clerk from the Oehmler 

 Floral Co. has located with the Dupont 

 Flower Shop, one from the Dupont 

 Flower Shop is with Z. D. Blackistone, 

 while one of Blackistone 's clerks is 

 holding the fort left vacant in Oehm- 

 ler 's flower store. This happened all in 

 a week. 



The pictures of Z. D. Blackistone and 

 George C. Shaffer were in the Sunday 

 paper in connection with the Kiwanis 

 Club. Mr. Shaffer is second vice-presi- 

 dent of the club. 



The Washington Floral Co. is cutting 

 some fine orchids and roses. 



Marche & Co. have been busy with 

 funeral work. They also had several 

 large decorating jobs last week. 



G. V. S. 



Council Grove, Kan. — The Cleek Flo- 

 ral Co. ran a special Thanksgiving dis- 

 play advertisement in the local news- 

 paper with good results. The advertise- 

 ment read: "Flowers best express the 

 spirit of Thanksgiving and, with a lower 

 price this year, their voice will be 

 clear." 



Jackson, Mo. — Mrs. H. L. Obermiller 

 annually offers a prize for the best essay 

 by a grade school pupil on "Say It with 

 Flowers" the week before Armistice 

 day. The winner, a 14-year-old girl, this 

 year received a chrysanthemum plant for 

 her essay, which was printed in the local 

 newspaper.
