The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Uecbmbek 7, 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 car 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 $3.0O per case. After that date, at 

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

Good holly is selling at $5 a box and 

 probably will not go below that figure 

 here. The usual amount of trash, on 

 consignment, is inevitable, but this goes 

 to the grocer and the butcher; the retail 

 florists will have none of it. Pine is 

 scarce and holds firm at 10 cents a 

 pound. 



Various Notes. 



Next Monday evening, December 11, 

 the New York Florists' Club holds its 

 final session of the year Prof. John

 Manda will compete for the presidency, 

 Messrs. Einsman and Eossback for vice- 

 regal honors, Messrs. Rickards, Scott 

 and Siebrecht for the money bags and 

 Messrs. Young and Badgley for the sec- 

 retary's chair.
