Mention The RcTlew when you write. 



ing the great number of seeds started 

 in the summer of 1918, the quantity of 

 good stock on the market this season 

 seems to be extremely small. Some of 

 the most skillful growers are reported 

 to have lost half their plants and others 

 still more. 



Bouquet green is not a matter of much 

 interest to florists any more, but it may 

 be noted that bulk green is selling at 

 18 cents per pound at Chicago this week. 

 Holly also is scarce. The demand, how- 

 ever, is greatly reduced and $9 per case 

 is about as much as can be obtained for 

 jood average stock. 



Henry Kusik, the Kansas City wholc- 

 jalcr, was here this week to look the 

 market over. 



Joseph Foerster pointed to a large dis- 

 ])lay of Romans, with the remark, ' ' How 

 long since you saw the like of these!" 

 No Romans were im])orted last year and 

 only small quantities of bulbs came 

 from France this season, so it is two 

 years since the market has been well 

 supplied with this chief competitor of 

 lily of the valley. 



The Tonner pecan orchards yielded 

 over 6,.")00 pounds of nuts this year, 

 which were expressed to the store in 

 Chicago. 



E. C. Pruner has completed his 1920 

 travels for Pochlmann Bros. Co., having 

 come home last week from the soutli- 

 west. He says business with florists is 

 good except in a few localities where 

 cotton is not being picked and marketed.

The Market. 



Ttic wholesale market was in excel- 

 lent condition last week and the sup- 

 ])ly of all seasonable cut stock was quite 

 sufficient for all demands. The retailers 

 say that trade has not been rushing 

 since tlio big Thanksgiving sales, but 



the Christmas spirit is here and orders 

 are being booked for the big day. All 

 are busy with preparations for it and 

 are looking forward to another record 

 Iteing established this year. The excel 

 lent weather conditions continued all 

 last week and increased shipments are 

 coming in daily. Prices are advancing 

 on fancy stock, but in most inst'ances 

 they remain normal. Chrysanthemums
