The Florists^ Review 



Dbcbmbbb 20, 1021 



it was noted that all their stands were 

 cleaned up on the night of December 23. 

 Other stands around town were badly 

 overloaded and early Saturday night 

 Christmas trees could be had at your 

 own price, if you would take them. 



The Serpillo & DePietro Co., Bloom- 

 field, is having a heavy demand for 

 Bweet peas. Mr. Serpillo, of this firm, 

 is visiting friends and relatives in Italy 

 at. 11 Will return after a two months' 

 vacation. 



Dutch bulbs were in good demand at 

 Cadwell & Jones this year. All varieties 

 cleaned up well. The first importation 

 of this firm from France came December 

 21, together with new crop flower and 

 vegetable seeds, and all hands are busily 

 engaged packaging these and other 

 seeds. 



The dwelling of George Hunn, ex- 

 pert designer and decorator at Coomb's 

 Main street store, was badly gutted by 

 fire December 21. It is on Wethersfield 

 avenue. C. B. M.

The Market. 



Retailers are busily engaged taking 

 care of their usual holiday rush. They 

 are having a successful Christmas this 

 year. The wholesalers practically 

 cleaned up all the stock they had. Roses 

 have been received in this market in the 

 varieties. White Killarney, White 

 Ophelia, Richmond, Crusader, Premier, 

 Columbia, Pilgrim, Ward and American 

 Beauties. The demand, however, for 

 Richmond and Crusader far exceeded 

 the supply and in some instances it was 

 necessary to substitute Premier or Rus- 

 sell. American Beauties brought high 

 prices, although the quality was not so 

 good. The demand for the special and 

 fancy grades was limited. Carnations 

 of some of the best varieties were re- 

 ceived in this market, viz., Laddie, 

 Winsor, Benora and white. Christmas 

 greens moved well and the quality of 

 mistletoe was good. Never before 

 were so many street peddlers on the 

 streets of this city selling all kinds of 

 varieties of Christmas wreaths and 

 made-up artificial baskets. Some re- 

 tailers have reported that their sales 

 will be almost equivalent to those of 

 last year. H. J. H.
