The Weekly Florists' Review, 



November 30, 1911. 



LANSING, MICH. 



The Market. 



The last week has been a busy "one 

 for the florists, weddings and funerals 

 using a great deal of stock. Chrys- 

 anthemums being used the most, a part 

 of the florists have cleaned up on them, 

 and not many were left for Thanks- 

 giving. Eoses and carnations are in 

 good demand and the prices will be 

 higher from now on. Paper Whites 

 and Eomans were on the market for 

 the first time this week. Violets are 

 fine this season and are selling well. 

 Stevia is a little scarce but is coming 

 along finely. Poinsettias are showing 

 color and will be fine for Christmas. 



Various Notes. 



Gurdon B. Smith, proprietor of the 

 Riverside Greenhouses, erected two 

 new greenhouses last summfer and had 

 them filled with 10,000 mums, com- 

 prising seventy-two varieties. They 

 were the finest lot every grown in the 

 city. 



J. A. Bissinger's plant is well filled 

 with the best stock and business is 

 good. 



William Krieger will build another 

 house this season, 30x100. 



G. Fred Bauerle, the north side flo- 

 rist, has ha^a good season and reports 

 mums all sold, just a few left for 

 Thanksgiving. 



George Riley has had a good season 

 and carnations are fine. Lettuce is 

 doing nicely and will soon be large 

 enough to market. 



Miss Ida L. Chittenden, of the 

 Maplewood Violet Co., has a fine 

 showing of plants this season. 



LITTLE BOCK, ABK. 



Local florists are doing a fine fall 

 business. J. W. Vestal & Son's mums 

 are in splendid shape. 



The Cottage Floral Co. was lucky 

 enough not to suffer any loss by the 

 recent cold spell. The mercury fell 

 from summer temperature to that of 

 winter in a few hours. Tipton & Hurst 

 lost 700 mums. H. Meyer, just up from 

 a twelve weeks ' severe spell of typhoid 

 fever, lost a full stock of choice plants 

 in three of his greenhouses, besides all 

 his mums. Temporarily he has to give 

 up and arrange with his creditors. His 

 losses are about $3,000. He will come 

 back. L. M. Meyer. 



Milton, Del. — Charles G. Jones, sec- 

 retary of Jones the Holly Wreath Man, 

 says they have had a most successful 

 season, having booked about all the 

 Christmas business that can be taken 

 care of.

(Page 986 1 he Florists' Exchange) 

 "James Wheeler exhibited three fine vases of 

 Snapdraron, a pink variety which originated 

 with him: it is most pleasing and more florifer- 

 OU8 than any other variety."
