flowers this Christmas sold far better 

 than in previous years and believe that 

 the explanation was in the markedly 

 lower prices on these, while the figures 

 asked for plants were not so much less 

 than last year's. In the residence dis- 

 tricts, however, plants sold fully as well 

 as a year ago. The comparison is in- 

 stanced in the case of the stores of the 

 Alpha Floral Co. and Johnson & Chronis. 

 The former, on the busy loop corner of 

 Adams and Wabash, sold far more cut 

 flowers than last year and nearly the 

 same number of plants. The latter sold 

 out completely its large stock of plants, 

 while moving large numbers of cut 

 blooms as well. 



The year 1921 was one of freakish 

 weather, adding greatly to the difficul- 

 ties of the growers, but it was easy on 

 the coal pile. As compared with normal, 

 excess heat accumulated to the amount 

 of 2168 degrees. 



The Florists' Club installed its re- 

 elected officers January 5. The club has 

 extended an invitation to the Commer- 

 cial Flower Growers of Chicago to hold 

 a joint meeting in February in connec- 

 tion with the annual novelty show. A 

 committee of the two organizations will

"Cut flowers a 2-to-l favorite," re- 

 ported the Van Buren Florist in regard 

 to the Christmas business done. "Roses 

 were in the lead, with Premier the fa- 

 vorite." Novelty baskets, of which 

 this store carries a considerable stock, 

 did not sell well, the demand being 

 rather slack. White carnations found 



a sale now and then, when mixed with 

 red, but at that there were many left 

 over for funeral work. This store finds 

 that white carnations have a fair de- 

 mand from persons who wish to buy just 

 one. 



Fred Ronsley says that this year's 

 receipts at Christmas were fully up to 

 those of last year and that business in 

 general was up to expectations. Espe- 

 cially good sales were made on Premier
