The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JANCABY'5, 1905. 



TAUNTON, MASS. 



Christmas trade was the best in years. 

 Everything in the way of flowering 

 plants cleaned out and a much better 

 grade sold than in any previous year. 

 Plants in the strongest demand were 

 Begonia (jloire de Lorraine; azaleas and 

 poinsettias. Of all these more could 

 have been disposed of. Primulas and 

 cyclamens also sold quite well. There 

 was a moderate call for palms and other 

 foliage plants, but flowering stuff" had 

 the principal call. 



In cut flowers carnations were once 

 more the favorites. Popular prices were 

 75 cents to $1 per dozen. The supply 

 was much below the demand. Only a 

 few good chrysanthemums, such as Mer- 

 ry Christmas, were in evidence. For 

 some reason violets were not called for 

 so much as in previous years. Rases, 

 lily of the valley and Roman hyacinths 

 sold quite well, but carnations far out- 

 classed all others in popularity. 



Willard & Williams, of the Taunton 

 Greenhouses, had by far the best Christ- 

 mas trade in their experience and sold 

 more expensive plants and a higher 

 grade of cut flowers than in preceding 

 years. They were pretty well cleaned 

 out of everything salable. 



Oscar Kristenson ha* a very fine show 

 of Lorraine begonias in one of his green- 

 houses at present. W. N. C. 



EtKHART, Ind. — ^W. H. Troyer, who 

 has been growing lettuce, has decided to 

 abandon this crop and put all of his 15,- 

 OUO feet of glass into cut flowers for next 

 season.
