The Florists^ Review 



December 30, 1920 



CLEVELAND, O. 



The Market. 



Christmas week found stock rather 

 scarce in most lines, especially carna- 

 tions and roses. Everything cleaned up 

 nicely with the exception of white nar- 

 cissi and stevia. If there had not been 

 an oversupply on the market, these two 

 items would have cleaned up, too, but 

 every grower and wholesaler was over- 

 stocked for several weeks before the 

 Christmas rush. Cut poinsettias cleaned 

 up with the exception of a few of the 

 short ones. More carnations could have 

 been sold had they been available. 

 Stock this year was better than for some 

 years past, which was gratifying to all 

 concerned. 



Various Notes. 



The statement made recently that 

 Karl Witthuhn had removed his stock to 

 a new location has been investigated 

 and appears to be without foundation. 

 Mr. Witthuhn expressed the intention 

 of moving, but as yet is in his former 

 location. W. A. R. 



NEWABK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Considering the high prices it was 

 necessary to charge for holiday goods, 

 the Christmas trade was entirely satis- 

 factory. Many customers who usually 

 purchase cut flowers bought flowering 

 plants or ferns, because they felt they 

 were getting more value for their 

 money. While there are a few mums in 

 the market, they have practically 

 passed for the season. 



Various Notes. 



The Hilton Dahlia Farm is the trade 

 name which has been filed for the flo- 

 rists ' business conducted at 1958 Spring- 

 field avenue, Hilton, by Catherine E. 

 Gordon. 



The Washington Florists, Broad street 

 and Central avenue, reported an excel- 

 lent Christmas trade. E. B. M. 



Green Bay, Wis. — Carl Meier has pur- 

 chased the Stiles greenhouses at Oconto, 

 Wis., the largest in that part of the 

 state. They were used for growing win- 

 ter vegetables, but the increased cost of 

 coal rendered that unprofitable. They 

 will be planted to roses and carnations.
