The Weekly Florists* Review. 



December 31, 1908- 



latter were for use in churches and other 

 large decorations. Holly sold at 5 cents 

 to 25 cents per bunch; holly wreaths at 

 10 cents up to $1 eaijji, depending upon 

 the size. Kisses came high, mistletoe 

 selUng at 30 cents a pound. Evergreen 

 trimming, according to quality, was 15 

 cents to $1.25 for twenty yards. . 



Roses, carnations, violets, poinsettias 

 and narcissi were the leaders in cut 

 flowers and sold for all prices, according 



to quality. ,-, j. 



The weather was very favorable tor 

 the delivery boys. Outside the ther- 

 mometer stood at about 40 degrees 

 December 24 and 25, and plants required 

 but little wrapping. 



Various Notes. 



James P. Keller says sales were 

 twenty-five per cent better than last year, 

 in both cut flowers and plants. He also 

 reports having had a good run on holly 

 and other green goods for decorating and 

 cemetery use. 



Honaker and the Michler Bros. Oo. 

 had good poinsettias in pots and pans. 



Anderson & White did a good business 

 in plants. They were also busy with 

 church and house decorations. 



J. Ferdinand Keller, manager of the 

 J. A. Keller greenhouses, on E^st Sixth 

 street, had a good cut of roses and car- 

 nations for the holidays. Mr. Keller 

 says he is cutting several thousands every 

 week at present. . 



Frank McMullen's stock is looking 

 fine at present. He has 5,000 or 6,00U 

 geraniums coming along nicely. 



Lucien Leclere says Christmas sales 

 •were better with him than he expected 

 at the greenhouses. He says he will now 

 get busy for Easter. 



There was a faker on Main street 

 selling holly wreaths at. 5 cents and 10 

 cents each, but he didn't cut any ice with 

 the florists. 



August I^eclere had some decorating 

 at the asylum on Fourth street that was 

 very pretty. ' . Blue Grass. 



SYRACUSE. 



Mrs. L. E. Marquisee has disposed of 

 the stock and greenhouses of her husband, 

 the late L. E. Marquisee, Harry and 

 James Bellamy being the purchasers. 

 They were both employees for many 

 years, the former having ch^ge of the 

 carnations and hybridizing, and the latter 

 acting as propagator and chrysanthemum 

 grower. They are thoroughly up-to-date 

 florists and have won the confidence and 

 respect of all in the trade ajid outside 

 with whom ttey have come in contact. 

 They will continue the business at the 

 present place tUl July 1, and will soon 

 decide upon a permanent location, so 

 they can start building at an early date. 



Orders for the new white carnation. 

 Marchioness, are coming in satisfactonly.
