The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



January 7, 1909. 



Cove and Orange will all celebrate in 

 the usual way, and soon. 



Al. Bickards rept)rt8 greater success 

 than ever in his travels, while Will the 

 new treasurer of the Florists' Club, pre- 

 sides over a growing store trade at the 

 1824 Bridgeman headquarters, where the 

 Eickards Bros, now rule supreme. 



Burnett Bros.' new store is one of the 

 best of the seed trade in New York. 

 They claim their move to Cortlandt street 

 was an inspiration. Business has doubled 

 with their added conveniences. 



Nearly a dozen of the members of the 

 Growers' Cut Flower Co. were in the city 

 Saturday, January 2, attending the regu- 

 lar meeting of the association. 



The violet growers at Ehinebeck are 

 numerous and their combination approxi- 

 mates 150" in membership. It is said 

 they have the concentration bee buzz- 

 ing and are considering the wisdom of 

 confining shipments to a limited number 

 of the New York wholesalers.

The Market. 



Business has been good since the holi- 

 days. Carnations are the best sellers at 

 present and the quality is good. Roses 

 sell fairly well and are of good quality. 

 Some callas, violets, lilies, sweet peas, 

 lily of the valley and stevia of fairly 

 good quality are on the market. Bulbous 

 stock, such as Paper Whites, Eoman 

 hyacinths, etc., is plentiful. Some fu- 

 neral work every now and then helps to 

 clean out the short-stem stock. 



The year of 1908 was better than 1907, 

 and we are inclined to believe that this 

 year will be still better. 



Various Notes. 



James P. Keller says business since the 

 holidays has kept up well with him. 



Lucien Leclere and his assistant, 

 George Godfrey, are busy these days. 



Anderson & White continue to be busy. 

 Their greenhouses are looking well. 



August Leclere, at the asylum, is cut- 

 ting Ivory and Golden Gate roses of 

 good quality. He also has some good 

 azaleas in bloom, which are used in the 

 wards and hospital. 



Henry Ballard, of J. A. Keller's, has 

 returned from a trip to the eastern part 

 of the state. 



Grover Shearer, of Winchester, Ky., 

 was a visitor last week.

The Market. 



Most people are stil discussing Christ- 

 mas business, and as it is always so much 

 better than New Year's, they do not con- 

 sider New Year's much or make much 

 special preparation for it. However, it 

 was about up to the average and the 

 month of December closed much better 

 than any month for a year. There has 

 been considerable doing all the week and 

 Saturday night found everybody tired 

 out, without much desire to talk. 



The brighter weather has brought in 

 some fine flowers, especially Killarney, 

 which are in fine color, and when the 

 color is good there is nothing better, un- 

 less it will be the My Maryland, which 

 are to be shown at the club meeting 

 Tuesday night, but I will tell you of 

 that next week. 



The market is now getting a good sup-

The OhriBtmaa holiday demand left us practically without 

 stock, but we have had fine weather Bince and the pickers 

 are flocking in daily with New 8upplle«, rresli and Vine. 

 Home of the retail dealers seem to think that they cannot get 

 the best quality at the low prices we ask. That's right where 

 you are misoing a deal, and a trial order will convince you. 

 Remember that we offer you bank reference, and that we are 

 not new in the business.

The prices took their usual after-Christ- 

 mas drop, with no increase for New 

 Year's, but everything cleaned up nice- 

 ly, so there was no complaint and the 

 trade generally seemed in a happy frame 

 of mind. 



Varioui Notes. 



Every once in a while we hear talk 

 about the wholesalers getting together 

 on the matter of giving credit, and then 

 again it is the retailers who are going 

 to come together to consider the cutting 

 of prices on decorations and giving dis- 

 counts to undertakers, but nothing seems
