The Florists' Review 



Dbcsmbib 8, 1921 



tion of several hundred people who pass 

 the show windows of the iSpear & Mc- 

 Manus Co. daily. It is a beautiful deep 

 bronze color, changing to a lighter 

 bronze when fully open, and exceedingly 

 prolific. C, B. M. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Everything is in readiness for the 

 early Christmas sale of wreaths, ropes, 

 etc. Florists are now beginning to put 

 their Christmas specialties in the win- 

 dows as a part of their regular window 

 displays. Christmas plants are also ar- 

 riving and are ready for an early sale. 

 Notwithstanding the business depres- 

 " sion, the local florists expect to do a 

 good business during the approaching 

 holidays. The indications are that, 

 while prices will be higher than they 

 have been for the last few weeks, they 

 will be lower than those of any Christ- 

 mas for three or four years, perhaps 

 longer. 



Various Notes. 



The Rosary Floral Co., Market street, 

 near Broad, received its full supply of 

 Christmas specialties with the exception 

 of plants and flowers. The members of 

 this firm look for a good holiday busi- 

 ness. 



John A. Foley opened a flower store 

 this week at 233 Springdale avenue, 

 West Orange. Mr. Foley was formerly 

 in business in New York. R. B. M. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Market. 



Business is dull, but not alarmingly 

 BO, as there is usually a lethargy at this 

 time of the year. Stock is plentiful. It 

 is not, however, in such abundance as 

 was the case in previous weeks, and lit- 

 tle goes to waste. Chrysanthemums are 

 available in white, pink and yellow in 

 the large types. Some pompons are to 

 be had. The demand is nq^e too brisk. 

 Carnations are about equal to the de- 

 mand. These have been none too plen- 

 tiful all the season and the price has 

 been steady at from $4 to $6 per hun- 

 dred. Roses are scarce, the result of 

 pinching back the crop for Christmas. 

 Prices have been holding well at from $6 

 per hundred up. Narcissi have been ar- 

 riving in larger supply and are bringing 

 good prices. Stevia is popular, selling 

 readily. Other stock includes sweet 

 peas, violets, calendulas and orchids. 

 The demand for these has been slow. 

 Potted plants are not in demand at the 

 present time. However, the Christmas 

 trade will utilize everything available 

 in this line, as the supply is not particu- 

 larly large. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Huddleson, of the Ove Gnatt Co., 

 called on the trade last week. 



Bertermann Bros. Co. has added an 

 attractive new car to its delivery serv- 

 ice. 



The Thanksgiving Piftik chrysanthe- 

 mum of Baur & Steinkamp has devel- 

 oped into an attractive potted plant. It 

 is a dark late pink which will be in good 

 demand for the holiday season. 



Adam Scheidler, of Muncie, and A. S. 

 Pett, of Crawfordsvillc, Ind., were vis- 

 itors this week. 



Peter Bogas is in the St. Vincent hos- 

 pital, where he underwent an operation.
