The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



NOVBMBBS 30, 1011. 



day plentiful, the next scarce, but the 

 local growers expected a large cut dur- 

 ing this week, as the weather has been 

 clear for the last few days. Enchant- 

 ress are coming in fine; so are Beacon 

 and White Perfection. The top price 

 for Thanksgiving was expected to be 

 $5 per hundred. 



Eoses have been and will be more 

 plentiful, but the demand for mums 

 has hurt their sale considerably during 

 the last few weeks. Ten dollars per 

 hundred is expected to be the top price 

 for this week for fancy stock. Beauties 

 are scarce, but Paper Whites, valley 

 and lilies are in good supply, as also 

 are all kinds of greens. 



Various Notes. 



•T. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 

 makes Monday his regular visiting day 

 in this city. The J. F. Ammann Co. is 

 cutting some extra good stock, which 

 is consigned daily to C. A. Kuehn. 



Charlie Y.oung, of C. Young & Sons 

 Co., says his firm has had a splendid 

 fall trade in bulbs. Several large wed- 

 dings kept them quite busy last week. 



It has been rumored that at the 

 meeting of the Florists' Club and the 

 Ketail Florists' Association this month 

 strong talks will be made as to the ad- 

 Tisability of taking hold together and 

 giving a flower show on a large scale. 



H. G. Berning had a large shipping 

 order last week that consumed 4,000 of 

 his fancy mums. 



The opening of the new store of the 

 Sanders Nurseries, on Clara avenue, 

 had to be postponed owing to a defect 

 in the heating system. Oliver K. San- 

 ders, who is to Jiave charge of this 

 place, said that everything would be 

 in readiness for the opening before 

 Thanksgiving. 



The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral 

 Co. recently received a large shipment 

 of florists' supplies, including a lot of 

 Christmas novelties. The firm's daily 

 consignments of carnations and violets 

 from Kirkwood have been large. 



Henry Ostertag, of Ostertag Bros., 

 says their force had to hustle last week, 

 as they had several wedding decora- 

 tions and quite a batch of funeral 

 work. 



Otto Sanders had several large or- 

 ders to fill during t^e week. He says 

 that since coming over on Olive street 

 he has worked up a splendid over-the- 

 counter trade and he carries the best 

 of stock to work with. 



A. Brix says that since he did away 

 with the cares of the greenhouses and 

 spent all his time at the store he is 

 much better satisfied with the busi- 

 ness. 



Geo. H. Angermueller expects . to be 

 well supplied with stock of all kinds 

 for the Thanksgiving demand. He 

 said that stock sold much better last 

 week than the one previous. 



Wm. Ellison, of the Ellison Floral 

 Co., reports that sales are not as they 

 should be at this time of the year; 

 nevertheless they had quite a few din- 

 ner parties and receptions to furnish 

 during the week. 



Waldbart, Ayres, Newman and the 

 Metropolitan, centered at Grand ave- 

 nue and Olive street, say they had a 

 splendid week in cut flower orders and 

 plant sales. 



Visitors: Martin Reukauf, repre- 

 senting H. Bayersdorfer & Co.; J. J. 

 Karins, for H. A. Dreer; Wm. Craig, 

 of the Robert Craig Co., all of Phila- 

 delphia. J. J. B.
