The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



4& 



most in demand among carnations. 

 Stevia is on the market^ but not in 

 any great quantity, and it seems much 

 later this year than usual. Eoman 

 hyacinths are arriving in small quan- 

 tities. Paper Whites do not meet with 

 any great demand. Harrisii lilies are 

 few nowadays and the price is up. Vio- 

 lets brought a good price for Thanks- 

 giving. Cattleyas and cypripediums 

 are in demand and sell at fancy prices. 

 Valley and bouvardias are in fine shape 

 and the demand is good. 



Holly, winter berries, matonia and 

 boxwood sprays are used for decora- 

 tions of all kinds. Christmas decora- 

 tions are going up in the stores and 

 holiday orders are being placed even 

 now. 



Various Notes. 



George B. Hart did a big business for 

 Thanksgiving and had little stock left 

 over. He is receiving his holly and 

 Christmas greens early this year. 



H. E. Wilson has a handsome new 

 sign. 



At the west side store of Salter Bros, 

 it is reported that they did more busi- 

 ness this Thanksgiving than last, and 

 with additional funeral work they were 

 completely cleaned out of stock Decem- 

 ber 1.

 Co., was in town recently stocking up 

 the florists with corrugated paper boxes.

 Thanksgiving was good, and they were 

 pretty well sold out. 



The Rochester Floral Co. announces 

 an -increase in trade for the close of 

 November.

 good business for Thanksgiving. Man- 

 ager Alberts says that chrysanthemums 

 were poor this year. 



A fine latticework in white forms 

 the background for a begonia display 

 in George Boucher's window. The pink 

 and white effect is most pleasing and 

 artistic. Thanksgiving trade here was 

 about the same as last year. 



Ransford Wilson is suffering with a 

 carbuncle on his neck. 



At Salter Bros.' East Main street 

 store, trade last month was about the 

 same as other years, the.v report.
