NORRISTOWN, PA. 



The latter half of 1914 was quiet 

 here. Business ia all lines has been 

 dull and florists have had about the 

 same experience as others. Counter 

 trade has been only fair, but there has 

 been a steady demand for funeral work, 

 which has been the backbone of the 

 business. Christmas sales equaled 

 those of 1913. 



The firm of Devine & Crawford, 57 

 East Main street, has been dissolved, 

 Eussell E. Crawford taking over the 

 business. 



The Wm. R. Yeager Co., 78 East Main 

 street, had an exceptionally fine lot of 

 poinsettias just right for the holidays 

 and also did well with Lorraine be- 

 gonias. 



The Century Flower Shop, 321 De 

 Kalb street, had a nice batch of Engue- 

 hard mums that sold well for Christ- 

 mas. Some excellent cyclamens and 

 azaleas were noted in this store. 



P. J. Callahan, formerly with the 

 Wm, R. Yeager Co., opened a stand at 

 Marshall and De Kalb streets for the 

 holidays and did a good business with 

 gieens. W. H. C. 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



The New Year 's as well as the Christ- 

 mas business, from the general report, 

 exceeded expectations. The volume of 

 holiday business was great, probably 

 greater than a year ago, but the credit 

 sales were much more in evidence than 

 the cash sales. Plants sold extremely 

 well, especially the moderate priced 

 ones, although azal'eas found a ready 

 market. Cut flowers found an excellent 

 market and brought splendid prices. 



New Year's day trade was especially 

 heavy this year and the amount of cut 

 flowers and corsages sold during holi- 

 day week was enormous. The market 

 has now settled down to normal, with 

 prices as usual and the supply, especial- 

 ly on roses, somewhat short. 



Various Notes. 



The Flick Floral Co. reports a large 

 sale on red immortelle automobile 

 wreaths. 



J The Bradley Flower Shop reports a 

 good week 28 business, with the demand 

 for cut flowers mostly in evidence. 



^. W. Do^elli & Son weye rushed 

 with corsage work during holiday week. 



Herbert Zur Muhlen's holiday busi- 

 ness ran mostly to plant sales, although 

 ho disposed of a quantity of cut flow- 

 ers. E. F. 



MATCHLESS A GREAT SUCCESS 



MATCHLESS is the best and most profitable white carnation to grow, 

 having no equal in earliness, vigor of growth and production. It is superior 

 in size, fragrance and keeping qualities, and is non-bursting. It is a continuous 

 bloomer and is bandied with ease by any grower.
