Most of the local florists report a fine 

 Thanksgiving trade. All are glad of 

 this, as general business has been rather 

 quiet this fall. We have had remark- 

 ably warm weather. People who had 

 their own gardens were well supplied 

 with outdoor flowers until nearly the 

 middle of November, when the first 

 killing frost of the season reached here. 

 As a number of people are out of em- 

 ployment in the city, many who have 

 been in the habit of patronizing the 

 florists' shops frequently, are now un- 

 able to do so. 



Pompon mums were in greatest de- 

 mand for Thanksgiving table decora- 

 tions. Chrysanthemums, ranging in 

 price from $3 to $6 a dozen, were also 

 popular. A plentiful supply of carna- 

 tions, snapdragons. Paper Whites, 

 callas and roses was on hand. 



Although many violets and red chrys- 

 anthemums were sold for the Tale-Har- 

 vard game, some of the members of the 

 local trade report that, on account of 

 the high price of violets, fewer were 

 sold than last year. However, some 

 shops were cleaned out. 



Various Notes. 



A pretty Thanksgiving window deco- 

 ration was seen at the Bosery. Mr. 

 Pflomm reports that his store was a 

 busy place the day before Thanksgiv- 

 ing. 



Bobert H. Hawkins says that he had 

 a good Thanksgiving trade. 



Victor Carwardine has furnished a 

 number of wedding bouquets recently 

 and has decorated for several weddings. 

 Thanksgiving trade was quite satisfac- 

 tory, as he was completely cleaned out. 



John Beck & Son report that on ac- 

 count of the remarkable weather a 

 great deal of outside work is being done, 

 as there is no frost in the ground as yet. 

 Window boxes are being filled and 

 cemetery work is being done. Thanks- 

 giving trade was splendid and a good 

 Christmas trade is anticipated. 



James Horan & Son say that trade in 

 general has been rather quiet because 

 the local factories are laying o£E so 

 many people. However, business for 

 both the football game and Thanksgiv- 

 ing was satisfactory. I. L. B.
