The Market. 



Thanksgiving day business was a 

 surprise to many; to a few of the al- 

 ways optimistic, it was just what they 

 erpected. Compared with previous 

 years, some of which have been quite 

 good for the florists' trade, it did not 

 break any records. With some, this 

 year was a small percentage aJiead; 

 with a few, it ran behind some good 

 years they have had. On the average, 

 it was good, and considering the way 

 business has been for the last few 

 months, it was wonderful. 



Stock was good. Choice mums 

 brought 12%, 15 and 18 cents. We 

 have seen years when they brought 

 20 and 25 cents, but this year's prices 

 satisfied the growers. Pink roses were 

 scarce, as were yellow mums of the 

 better grades. Pompons, pink and 

 white mums and miscellaneous stock 

 were equal to the brisk demand. White 

 roses were about the only slow-selling 

 stock. 



All hands have now begun to get 

 their breath and to realize that Christ- 

 mas is going to be one of the Christ- 

 mases of old. Preparations for an 

 enormous quantity of stock are being 

 made. Everyone I have seen, grower, 

 wholesaler or storeman, is convinced 

 that this year's holiday business is go- 

 ing to be all he can handle. The sup- 

 position is that many will buy flowers 

 or plants this year instead of more 

 expensive presents. Other lines may 

 suffer, but the outlook for the florist 

 seems good. Look out for a plant and 

 basket Christmas. 



Various Notes. 



The Smith & Fetters Co. had the 

 Winslow-Devereux wedding, November 

 28, one of the society events of the 

 year. Large quantities of fancy mums 

 and long Beauties were used. 



Chas. Schwake, of C. Schwake & Co., 

 .New York, was a visitor last week. 



The committee of the Florists' Club 

 will meet next week to arrange matters 

 for the exhibition of the Chrysanthe- 

 mum Society of America, which will be 

 held here November, 1915. A large 

 trade show, with a liberal premium list, 

 taking in carnations, roses, general 

 stock and retail work, in addition to 

 the mum entries, is planned. F. A, F. 



NEW "MUMS" 



The fall shows are now past, and you have no doubt jotted down the 

 names of some varieties you will add to your stock next season. That is the 

 way to keep abreast of the times. If you have not already done so, be sure 

 you include our "Yellow Sport from Mrs. Chas. Rager." It will eventually 

 be as widely grown as the white variety from which it sported. You run 

 absolutely no risk in buying it. 



Send for our price list, which also includes Carnation cuttings and Gera- 

 nium plants. We have both in large quantity and top quality.
