Mention The Review when yon write. 



I realized that florists were human and 

 could appreciate a kind word and some 

 evidence of appreciation from their cus- 

 tomers after they had exerted themselves 

 to please. 



A. W. Smith seemed to be on the jump 

 and one going into his large store and 

 seeing the big force of clerks hustling 

 could scarcely believe Christmas was 

 over. 



H. L. Blind & Bros, say the increase 

 in their business over the preceding year 

 was so great that it left the former year 

 out of consideration. This hustling firm 

 is making a bid for the big work which 

 formerly they did not consider. 



L. I. Neff says all of his stores were 

 in with the rush and the holiday business 

 was all right. 



Next Tuesday night is club night, and 

 the subject for discussion is "Small 

 Flowers, ' ' also nomination of officers for 

 the ensuing year. 



Wl H. Smith, with DeVoe & Co., of 

 Oil City, Pa., is making his annual visit 

 to this city. We are never surprised 

 to meet him on New Year's day. 



Mr. Graves, of Richmond, Ind., was in 

 the city one day last week. 



A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., 

 stopped off long enough to call on the 

 trade here with whom he does business. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



STEVIA. 



Is stevia a good paying crop to grow, 

 as it is only in the house about four 

 months, with another crop to follow? 

 How many sprays are put in a bunch 

 when cutting for market? R. & S. 



Is stevia a good paying crop? That 

 is not so easy, for we have never gone 

 into its profits as we do with roses or 

 carnations. We only know for the re- 

 tail florist it is wellnigh indispensable. 

 Our best customers admire it and want 

 it. It harmonizes and lightens up any 

 bunch or arrangement of flowers. When 

 bunched for market it is usually put up 

 twenty-five in a bunch but it is not neces- 

 sary to make it so; better make good 

 bunches, no matter how many it takes; 

 tlie commission man will get the value 

 out of them. W. S. 



Beardstown, III. — Frank Bros, re- 

 port a good Christmas trade in both cut 

 flowers and plants. 



Richmond, Ind. — J. M. Gift says he 

 never had a better holiday trade ; sold 

 out clean on everything and could have 

 used more carnations, holly and bells. 



N. Pkovidence, R. I.^ — -Lucy Meenan 

 says that holiday trade was good. Cut 

 flowers sold well and there was a great 

 call for decorative plants for gift pur- 

 poses, especially for the Pierson ferns.
