The Florists^ Review 



Dbcbmbbb 29, 1921 



HVANSVUA^, IND. 



The Clirlstmas Market. 



The weather preceding Christmas was 

 cloudy, with much rain for several days 

 and with prospects for snow for Decem- 

 ber 24 and 25. Snow, however, failed to 

 arrive and the rain ended December 23. 

 The weather for December 24, when most 

 of the deliveries were made, was just 

 above the freezing point, making only 

 light wrapping necessary. There was 

 heavy buying in all lines and the florists 

 were getting their share. There were 

 plants of good variety, but the most 

 sought after were cyclamens, poinset- 

 tias, primulas and begonias, though 

 there were other plants in good demand. 

 In cut flowers, roses and carnations 

 were most in demand. Eoses were in 

 fairly good supply, but carnations were 

 not in good crop. 



Various Notes. 



The Blackman Floral Co. had large 

 quantities of plants of all kinds. This 

 firm was short on carnations, but roses 

 were in better supply. Morgan Suttle, 

 the rose grower of this firm, had a nice 

 crop of roses, especially in Columbia 

 and Premier, and of these two, Premier 

 was in the lead with magnificent flowers 

 on long, stiff stems. Other varieties of 

 roses are in fine condition for good cuts 

 later. A part of a house planted to 

 old Bride was in heavy growth, and a 

 heavy crop had just been cut wh"n the 

 writer saw it. Buyers thronged the store 

 continually, but at this writing it is too 

 early to say how business compared with 

 that of other years. 



The old greenhouses and offices of 

 Julius Niednagel & Sons, have been 

 abandoned and the business transferred 

 to the new office and salesroom of C. L. 

 Niednagel, one block south of the old 

 location. The first Christmas in the new 

 location was up to expectations. Large 

 quantities of plants of good variety were 

 on display in the new, elegant sales- 

 room. The crop of cut flowers was 

 good, especially in roses. 



Mrs. J. C. Elspermann enjoyed a large 

 demand for the good variety of plants 

 she grows and everything was cleaned 

 out that was salable. 



The Lockyear Floral Co. reported a 

 heavy advance call for plants. The crop 

 of carnations was not heavy, but there 

 was a good cut of roses and chrysanthe- 

 mums. 



O. S. Smith enjoyed a nice Christmas 

 trade and sold all of the plants that he 

 had, which were blooming. 



Karl Zeidler returned from his annual 

 trip south with a hunting party, just in 

 time for the Christmas rush.
