The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Dbcbmbbr 7, 1911. 



NEW BEDFOBD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Business was good last week and the 

 supply of flowers has shortened some- 

 what, and mums will soon be gone. 

 All the florists report a good Thanks- 

 giving trade. Cut flowers sold well 

 and evergreen wreaths for the ceme- 

 teries were in fair demand. Carnations 

 retailed at from 60 to 75 cents per 

 dozen; roses, $1.50 to $2; violets, $1.50 

 per hundred; Paper Whites, 50 to 60 

 cents per dozen. Plants are selling 

 well, ferns being in most demand. Ste- 

 via is in full crop and there is some 

 candytuft to help out. 



Funeral work is good. We are hav- 

 ing excellent weather now, with the 

 nights just below freezing and plenty 

 of sunshine during the days. 



Various Notes. 



E. Y. Peirce is cutting nice Killar- 

 neys, both white and pink, and his 

 carnations are looking good. 



R. H. Woodhouse had some nice mums 

 for Thanksgiving. 



A. B. Hathaway is cutting some fine 

 Paper Whites. 



S. S. Peckham, of Fairhaven, is send- 

 ing in nice carnations. W. L.

The Saltford Flower Shop reports ex- 

 cellent business. Mums went well. My 

 Maryland is proving a most satisfactory 

 rose, grown in solid beds at the warmer 

 end of the house. Stock planted in 

 August is yielding a heavy crop. The 

 seedling fancy carnation, Vassar, is 

 giving an excellent account of itself 

 and is popular with the best trade. A 

 house of poinsettias in solid beds, for 

 cutting, is a picture; they have stems 

 of extraordinary length, with immense 

 heads of bloom. The double variety is 

 also grown; while stronger, it is later 

 than the single. These are grown for 

 special customers. The house of orchids 

 is one of the best investments made. 

 A big crop of Iselias is in sight; the 

 flowers are used as fast as they appear. 



Murphy & Schaumburg report the 

 biggest bulb season on record. They 

 force possibly the largest number used 

 by any retailer in the Hudson valley. 



Conrad C. Gindra notes an increasing 

 call for plants and will devote more 

 space to this branch. He reports the 

 best season in mums ever experienced 

 and has a batch of Jeanne Nonin that is 

 as fine as one could wish to see.
