Mention The Review when yon write. 



HilJ, of Eichmond, vpho as usual at this 

 season, has several things to say to the 

 growers. 



George Eeinberg has a crop of very 

 fine poinsettias. He expects to cut 10,- 

 000 Beauties this week. 



Hubert Hansen is sending a nice crop 

 of carnations to the Kennicott Bros. Co. 

 Crusader is especially good. 



The exhibitors at the World's Fair 

 flower show have received the diplomas 

 representing their medal awards, just 

 thirteen months after the show. 



C. M. Dickinson, of Hunt's, has been 

 on the sick list again this week. 



The failure of the Chicago National 

 and associated banks has occupied much 

 attention this week. Harry Eowe was a 

 depositor but was not inconvenienced, as 

 another bank took over his balance 

 promptly. Bassett & Washburn have 

 been getting coal over the Southern In- 

 diana, financed by the Chicago National, 

 and have wondered what was doing, for 

 it was almost impossible to get ship- 

 ments. They think coal supplies will be 

 easier now. 



D. F. Hawkes, at Wheaton, is having 

 very good success with Marie Louise 

 violets. It is his only crop under about 

 6,000 feet of glass and the flowers com- 

 pare very favorably with the best Hud- 

 son river product, having fragrance in 

 addition. Mr. Hawkes ships to the A. 

 L. Eandall Co. 



Saturday will be the shortest day in 

 the year, as well as one of the very busi- 

 est. 



Wm. K. Wood was married December 

 18 to Miss Catherine Macdonald, also 

 formerly of Boston. 



L. A. Tonner, of the A. L. Eandall 

 Co., returned Monday from New York 

 and Philadelphia, after having bought 

 a large stock of florists' supplies. 



Stollery Bros, have some very well 

 flowered azaleas for Christmas. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that a week be- 

 fore Christmas they had as many orders 

 booked as the total of their Christmas 

 business a year ago. 



N. C. Moore & Co. are still marketing 

 some nice chrysanthemums. 



There was a meeting of the executive 

 committee of the Horticultural Society 

 yesterday afternoon to wind up flower 

 .show affairs.

HOLIDAY BASKETS 



You will need more Fancy Baskets for the Holidays and at New 

 Year's — some of our pretty French importations that will turn every 

 sort of short stemmed flower to account. Then you will want some plant 

 Hampers for New Year gifts; large Baskets for long stemmed flowers 

 and little Baskets for favors. We are constantly receiving new 

 Baskets, both from our own factory and from abroad. We can fill 

 your order on short notice for any sort of novelty or staple Baskets. 



We wish you a Happy Christmas 

 and a Prosperous New Year.

Mention The Review wben yon write. 



Weiland & Risch say that the Christ- 

 mas call for Killarney is surprising even 

 themselves, and they are as enthusiastic 

 on this rose as one could well be. 



Wietor Bros, had a red seedling carna- 

 tion which is a great Christmas flower. 

 Red Bradt is still a favorite with them. 



John Degnan has withdrawn from his 

 connection with the E. F. Winterson Co., 

 and, although no announcement has been 

 made, it is understood that the Chicago 

 Rose Co., of which he is secretary, will 

 shortly open a wholesale cut flower and 

 supply store. 



C. A. Samuelson has a large decora- 

 tion at Bournique's for a Christmas 

 night affair. The necessity of putting 

 this up at the time Christmas deliveries 

 are being made will call for some active 

 hustling. 



The Baby Rambler roses for Christ- 

 mas are many of them not as satisfac- 



tory as they would be if not so fully in 

 bloom.

The MxrkeU 



There is not much time to spare at 

 present to tell what happened the past 

 week. On the whole business was good 

 during the week. There were a great 

 many weddings and funerals, the latter 

 creating a considerable part of the 

 week's business. Choice stock was not 

 over-plentiful and wholesalers cleaned up 

 pretty well every day during the week. 

 The weather has been delightful, just to 

 the liking of the growers, clear and cold. 



Roses have not been scarce, thanks to 

 the clear weather. Fancy long Beauties 

 are in big demand, but they are lim- 

 ited. Shorts are very plentiful. Carna-
