Carnations, the best selling flowers we 

 have, are far from plentiful and for 

 an entire month it has not been possible 

 to meet demands. They bring about $1 

 per dozen retail ; from $3 to $4 per 

 hundred wholesale. Chrysanthemums are 

 about done, although a few nice 

 blooms of Merry Christmas are offered. 

 Bulbous stock is coming in freely, espe- 

 cially Roman hyacinths and Paper "White 

 narcissi. Greens are in good supply, 

 excepting hardy ferns, and we have 

 plenty of stock for the holiday trade.

bilities of the supply of stock for Christ- 

 mas. 



The bursting of a boiler caused seri- 

 ous loss to growing stock, especially 

 roses and callas, at the Sunnycrest 

 greenhouses last week. The accident oc- 

 curred at a time when the mercury stood 

 at a point the lowest known hereabouts 

 for many years, and before steam could 

 be generated from a reserve boiler the 

 frost had accomplished its fatal work, 

 resulting in a loss of several thousands 

 of dollars' worth of stock. These dis- 

 heartening conditions do not put enter- 

 prising growers out of business, how- 

 ever, for two large boilers were imme- 

 diately ordered by telegraph; and when 

 this notice appears in print the devas- 

 tated houses will be planted to sweet 

 peas, lettuce and radishes, followed later 

 by a crop of tomatoes. The carnation 

 stock, comprising about 22,000 plants, 

 was uninjured, these houses being heated 

 from another source. 



Rennie & Thomson have their new and 

 commodious store at 135 and 137 Wash- 

 ington street practically complete, and 

 will carry a large line of seeds, bulbs 

 and florists' supplies. They will be the 

 first among firms in this city to make 

 special efforts for a mail order seed 

 trade. 



William Hay, who enjoys and justly 

 deserves the title of being our best rose 

 grower, has a magnificent crop for 

 Christmas. He grows Bride, Bridesmaid, 

 Richmond, Golden Gate and Killarney. 

 He has several houses planted to 

 Princess of Wales violets, which also 

 promise a good cut for the holidays. 



The downtown stores look radiant and 

 attractive with their display of Christ- 

 mas bells and festooning. The crowds 

 upon our streets are indicative of a rec- 

 ord-breaking business this season. 



G. S. W. 



Feemont, Mich.— R. L. Chamberlain, 

 on December 6, secured the interest of 

 his partner, Dr. DeHaas, in the green- 

 house and is now sole owner of the 

 plant. 



Kansas City, Mo.— The Alpha Floral 

 Co. has moved from its old stand at 

 819 Walnut street to more commodious 

 quarters at 1105 Walnut street. The 

 move was necessitated by the increased 

 volume of business. 



I AM more than pleased with the Re- 

 view. It is my opinion that the Flo- 

 rists' Review is the best florists' and 

 gardeners' paper ever published in this 

 country and I gladly recommend it to all 

 my friends.— Henry E. Diehl, German- 

 town, Pa.
