The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JANUARV 9, 1908. 



COLUMBUS, OHIO. 



State of Trade. 



Trade was good here during the holi- 

 days; from all reports, it was up to 

 expectations. As usual, carnations were 

 the most in demand and they were 

 scarce, bringing all the way from $1 

 to $2 per dozen. Eoses went rather 

 slowly till carnations were cleaned up, 

 when they moved nicely at $2 to $4 per 

 dozen. Poinsettias sold well in pans and 

 also cut, and brought good prices. Pans 

 of valley sold on sight and there were 

 not nearly enough to go around. Some 

 azaleas were in, but were rather poor. 



The growers all expected big cuts after 

 Christmas, but the cloudy weather made 

 stock scarce for New Year's and every- 

 thing sold at good prices. It looks as 

 though there is no room for complaint. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club had no meeting, 

 as its meeting night fell on Christmas 

 eve; so the next regular meeting will be 

 the second Tuesday in January, when it 

 is expected to give a hop. 



G. Drobisch had plenty of funeral 

 work between Christmas and New Year's 

 and found it hard to get enough stock. 



E. Metzmaier reports plenty of funeral 

 work and scrambling for stock. 



J. M. 



TAUNTON, MASS. 



Taunton Greenhouses report Christmas 

 trade as good, but not quite equal to that 

 of a year ago. There was an excellent 

 call for such pot plants as azaleas, Lor- 

 raine begonias, poinsettias and bulbous 

 stock. Carnations sold at $1 to $1.50 per 

 dozen. Violets had a good sale. More 

 high grade flowers were sold than in any 

 previous season. Trade since Christmas 

 has remained quite good. W. N. C. 



OODEN, Utah. — The greenhouses of 

 W. L. Porter were damaged January 2 

 by a fira that originated in the boiler- 

 room. 



Greensboro, N. C. — An involuntary 

 petition in bankruptcy was filed Decem- 

 ber 23 against the Duffy Co. The peti- 

 tioning creditors were J. Van Lindley, 

 N. J. McDuflBe and others. A. S. Per- 

 kins was appointed receiver. 



Atlantic City, N. J. — L. K. Nagy 

 has opened two stores under the name of 

 the Atlantic Floral Exchange, one at 

 1501 Pacific avenue and the other at 706 

 Arctic avenue. He will continue grow- 

 ing stock at Egg Harbor and will do a 

 wholesale commission business as well as 

 a retail business in Atlantic City.
