The Fbrists' Review 



D£C£MBXB 17, liU.4, 



The roses are mostly of southern origin 

 and are of good quality. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are good, but the season for them 

 is nearly over and they are not much 

 sought for. Cyclamens and the Lor- 

 raine and Cincinnati begonias are mov- 

 ing slowly; the demand for them can 

 hardly be extensive until Christmas. 

 Some peppers and poinsettias are on 

 display, but do not move fast. Ferns 

 are plentiful, and greens are fully up 

 to the demand. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club decided, December 

 8, to ask the state legislature to have 

 all the greenhouses in the state put 

 under license, so that they would come 

 under the supervision of the state horti- 

 cultural inspector. A committee was 

 appointed to ascertain what steps could 

 be taken to induce business houses to 

 adorn the facade of their buildings 

 with flowers, especially for next year, 

 when thousands of tourists are expected 

 to visit out city. The Bon Marche has 

 been a pioneer in this respect, and it 

 was considered that it would be a great 

 improvement to the appearance of our 

 streets if more places of business would 

 follow its example — not to speak of the 

 advantage to flower growers. 



The weather of the last week has 

 been rather remarkable for the season. 

 With no rain for a whole week, people 

 begin to sit up and take notice. Today 

 was a lovely, springlike day. We have 

 had no real frost and the pussy willows 

 are beginning to show their catkins. 

 Maybe they will curl up pretty quickly 

 some night soon. T. W.

The Market. 



The demand for flowers is below 

 normal. Expensive stock suffers 

 equally with the moderate priced 

 flowers. This condition is common this 

 fall and just now is more in evidence 

 on account of comparison with the 

 Thanksgiving rush. Many of the 

 stores have lots of red in the display 

 windows, but not much real Christmas 

 stock is yet sEown. Red and green 

 ruscus is being used ej^t^nsively and 

 the supply has run shorty temporarily. 

 There is also a scarcity of araucarias. 

 There will be no oversupply of carna- 

 tions for the holidays and some dealers 

 will find it difficult to get enough to 

 fill orders. 



The supply of mums. Paper Whites, 

 white Roman hyacinths, stevia, bou- 

 vardia, violets, roses and lilies is equal 

 to the present demand and prices are 

 about normal, both to the grower and 

 from the public. Conditions this year 

 are so entirely different from those of 

 all former years that the retailers are 

 puzzled in figuring the quantities of 

 their holiday supplies. 



Various Notes. 



J. J. Butzer, the seedsman, has en- 

 larged his store at 188 Front street by 

 extending his salesroom several feet 

 into the next front south. He also has 

 secured a trucking way to his rear 

 storeroom, which is entirely outside his 

 salesroom. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. is displaying 

 some blooming azaleas in pink and 

 light variegated colors.
