The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JANUABV 4, 1906. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



The past Christmas has been the most 

 successful the growers and retailers ever 

 had. The crops of roses were light; 

 much more so than was expected, and 

 very few specials could be had, with a 

 fihortage of all grades. Very few 

 American Beauties are grown in Mary- 

 land and nothing much can be said for 

 the ones that did show up. In carna- 

 tions the supply was equal to the de- 

 mand, with the exception of red and 

 Lawson, for which the demand was 

 heavy. A few growers held some of 

 their, carnations too long and they nat- 

 urally remained unsold, but could have 

 been used at Christmas prices had they 

 been shipped when in good condition. 

 Otherwise there was very little com- 

 plaint about salted stock. 



The call for single and double violets 

 was heavy, with enough for all orders 

 and a few .carried over until Sunday 

 morning, when they were quickly bought 

 up. Harrisii and narcissi were over- 

 done and about the only things that were 

 carried over. Soman hyacinths, sweet 

 peas and stevia sold Tvell, with no ad- 

 vance in price. The market on aspara- 

 gus and smilax was good, with usual 

 prices. 



The retailers all seem well pleased 

 with the business done and the general 

 remark is that everything sold out clean 

 and could have handled more. Bed im- 

 mortelles sold better this year and most 

 stores were cleaned out Saturday. Well 

 berried holly and mistletoe were plenti- 

 ful and could be had at reasonable 

 prices. Maryland holly could.be bought 

 as low as $2 to $4 for single-horse 

 wagon loads and well berried. 



Trade continued good all last week 

 and prices were about the same as at 

 Christmas. Saturday, December 30, was 

 the first day that the wholesalers could 

 catch up with orders for carnations and 

 roses. All the past week, flowers were 

 very scarce and never known to be so 

 short in supply after a holiday, many 

 retailers refusing orders for funeral de- 

 signs, but the bright, sunny weather of 

 the week caused the desired change for 

 the better. A. P. 



Red Wing, Minn. — John E. Sten & 

 ■Co.- have opened a flower store at Third 

 and West streets. 



Michigan City, Ind. — Charles Kint- 

 zele has retired and has turned his busi- 

 ness over to his sons, William A. and 

 Louis A., who will conduct it under the 

 name of Kintzele Bros.
