The Florists^ Review 



83 



Christmas trees, holly and mistletoe, 

 which rank among the most important 

 of the decorative features of the holiday 

 season, will cost more than ever this 

 year and the blame is placed on Uncle 

 Sam and the railroads for the predicted 

 rise in prices. A sliortage of the supply 

 from Canada will also affect the market 

 here. The North Carolina holly crop 

 is reported as practically without ber- 

 ries. 



Various Notes. 



William E. Chajjpell has been confined 

 to his home by a severe attack of illness. 



Charles Smith was in "Worcester and 

 vicinity last week on business for the 

 Eastern "Wreath Co. 



Swansons, Florists, are contemplating 

 making radical changes and additions at 

 their place on Stenton avenue in the 

 spring. 



Charles Hunt has been overhauling 

 and renovating several small green- 

 houses on Blackstone street that have 

 not been in use for the last three years. 



Smith the Florist reports a big busi- 

 ness since taking space in the "Washing- 

 ton market. 



Edward Brooke, of T. J. Johnston & 

 Co., was a business visitor in Boston 

 and vicinitv last week. 



Eugene McCarron had a large wedding 

 decoration last week of southern smilax 

 and chrysanthemums. The attendants 

 carried colonial bouquets. 



The Colonial Flower Shoppe, Inc., 

 had the decorations for the coming out 

 party of Miss Bogert. W. H. M.

The Market. 



The market has been in a good condi- 

 tion. Ample stock has been coming in 

 to meet all demands. "While a few chrys- 

 anthemums are still available, the sup- 

 ply is so meager that it can be said the 

 mum season is over. Roses are in good 

 shape. Good Premier, Columbia and 

 Oj)helia are in evidence and sell well. 

 Numerous other varieties include all the 

 shades from white to red and are selling 

 well at from $6 to $15 per hundred. 



Carnations are plentiful, but will not 

 be any too numerous for Christmas. 

 The price is from $4 to $6, with Laddie 

 bringing $8 per hundred. Lilies are ex- 

 tremely scarce. Sweet peas are coming 

 in slowly. A great deal of dark weather 

 has retarded their growth and caused 

 them to drop their buds. The price has 

 been steady at $3 per hundred for good 



peas, although a few poorer ones have 

 been selling for $2. Stevia has been 

 filling a large place in the market. As 

 always before, it is especially popular 

 for corsage and basket work. Calendu- 

 las are in evidence and are popular for 

 this kind of work. 



Potted plants are fairly abundant. 

 There has been a fair demand for 

 Jerusalem cherries, begonias, primroses 

 and ferns. Cyclamens have been coming 

 into bloom rather slowly. Although 

 there will be a larger supply at Christ- 

 mas, there will be no overabundance. 



Various Notes. 



Irwin Bertermann has returned from 

 French Lick, where he has been taking 

 a rest. 



I. Eosnosky, of the A. B. C, called on 

 the trade last week. 



E. E. Temperley went with the Murat 

 Shrinors December 8, to Kokomo, where 

 they were entertained by the Kokomo 

 Shrine Club. 



John Ileidenreich has his usual lot 

 of fine poinsettias for Christmas. 



A. F. J. Baur attended the meeting 

 of tlie National Flower Show committee 

 at Cleveland December 8. From there 

 he went to Chicago to attend the Flo- 

 rists' Club's meeting. E. E. T.
