The Weekly Florists' Review. 



January 9, 1008. 



ROCHESTER, N.Y. 



Current Comment 



Trade since the holidays has been very 

 quiet; there is practically nothing doing. 

 Flowers of all kinds are plentiful, with 

 the exception of roses. Carnations are 

 dropping in price and do not move. 

 Paper White narcissi have been a drug 

 on the market all this season, for some 

 reason or other, and sell for anything 

 that can be got for them. Carnations 

 are bringing from 2% cents to 4 cents; 

 roses, 8 cents to 12 cents; violets, $1 

 per hundred; valley, from 2^ cents to 3 

 cents. 



Thomas Cogger is removing from 

 North street to Main street. 



Hart's Handy Handle was a much 

 sought for article for Christmas. All 

 the Bochester florists used large quan- 

 tities and all were enthusiastic as to its 

 possibilities for plant decoration. They 

 found no diflSculty in increasing the value 

 of a plant 100 per cent by its use. 



"We are at a loss to understand how 

 a large out-of-town concern can ship 

 roses here at a price whereby they can 

 be sold on the streets here as low as 

 three for 10 cents, and the legitimate 

 florists are naturally very sore about it. 



S. 



Beaumont, Tex. — The business of the 

 Beaumont Floral Co. has been purchased 

 by Mrs. B. O. Weissinger and Miss A. M. 

 Browne. 



Le Roy, N. Y. — Fred Walter has 

 broken ground for a new house, 20x75 

 feet, his business having outgrown his 

 present equipment. He says that florists 

 in this vicinity can report a very pros- 

 perous season. Christmas trade was ex- 

 ceptionally good — twenty -five per cent 

 better than the year before. 



Raton, N. M. — Christmas sales this 

 season were in advance of last year. Cut 

 flowers were more sought after than 

 potted plants. Carnations were the lead- 

 ing flowers, as they always are in this 

 market. The Raton Greenhouse had a 

 few dozen fine Ben Wells chrysanthe- 

 mums in bloom for Christmas. This 

 firm contemplates rebuilding its green- 

 houses in the coming summer.
