The Weekly Florists* Review. 



NOVEMBEB 23, 1911. 



HOLLY- HOLLY- HOLLY 



I have just returned from a two weeks' trip through the Holly sections of Delaware, Maryland and "Virginia, and have 

 contracted for my supply for the season of 1911. I expect to have several cars of very fine, dark green, well- berried Swamp 

 Holly. I will have it packed as usual in regular size cases, 2x2x4, and guaranteed as represented. My first oar will arrive 

 in Philadelphia about December 1st. I filled all orders received last year and gave entire satisfaction and I hope to do so 

 again this season. My price this year on orders received up to December 1st is $3.00 per case. After that date, at 

 market price, which I am quite sure will be higher on account of scarcity.

 finest selected dark green Holly oD 10 Inch

week, and he must continue to look. 

 One consolation, however, is that the 

 florist is not the only complaining citi- 

 zen, for the ode from other business 

 men is sung to the same tune as that 

 of the florist. There are not too many 

 mums on the market. Carnations, 

 though not abundant, are of sufficient 

 supply to meet demands. Eoses of all 

 varieties are plentiful and of fine qual- 

 ity. Lilies are cropping well, but only 

 a small portion of the supply finds a 

 place in the market. In fact, stock of 

 all kinds is excellent, and the great 

 need now is buyers. There will be a 

 generous supply of everything for 

 Thanksgiving. 



Various Notes. 



In this column last week it was stated 

 that the terrific wind storm of Novem- 

 ber 11 and 12 did much damage to 

 local greenhouses. Since that writing 

 it has been learned that there is one 

 who suffered greater loss than those 

 mentioned. The entire plant of Will- 

 iam Phebus, proprietor of the Westwood 

 Floral Co., seemed to be a chosen vic- 

 tim of the wind. His stock, including 

 many valuable varieties of flowers, was 

 killed and what represented more than 

 $2,000 and a summer's labor is now a 

 mass of withered, frozen plants. Mr. 

 Phebus had prepared for a drop in 

 temperature, but bad not counted on 

 the accompanying gale. Not one of his 

 six greenhouses was spared and not 

 less than 300 panes of glass were ripped 

 out, leaving the icy blasts to sweep 

 through the houses. Because of the 

 danger of flying glass, Mr. Phebus was 

 unable to save any of his stock. He 

 stated last week that he had just 

 cleared himself of debt and was in a 

 position to make money. Today he is 

 left practically penniless, with scarce- 

 ly enough funds to repair the damage 

 done by the storm. The Dayton flo- 

 rists are showing Mr. Phebus that their 

 hearts are in the right place by doing 

 all they can to assist him at this time. 



Mrs. Young has been suffering a great 

 deal with lumbago during the last week. 



William Huston, shipping clerk for 

 the Miami Floral Co., who has been 

 quite ill for the last two weeks, is 

 back at his old stand again. 



The Miami Floral Co. is cutting some 

 elegant roses, the kind of flowers that 

 suit the most critical; but they find the 

 market quite slow, especially when the 

 abundant supply is taken into consid- 

 eration, as only a small portion of the 

 stock finds buyers. R. A. B.
