The Weekly Rorists' Review.

NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market. 



With the advancement of the season 

 business is increasing considerably. 

 Several prominent weddings called for 

 the best in the liae of cut flowers, and 

 church and home decorations, some of 

 them on an elaborate scale, gave the 

 decorators a chance to show their skill. 

 The stores are filling a larger number 

 of country orders than last year and 

 the demands are mostly for choice flow- 

 ers. The growers are getting ready for 

 Christmas and, although the extreme 

 changes in the weather have had some 

 eflfect on certain plants, the stock in 

 general is good and will quickly be 

 disposed of. The azaleas show the effect 

 of the dry season in Belgium and the 

 early varieties are not so full of buds, 

 nor are they so far advanced as in 

 other years. Large plants in full bloom 

 will demand high prices. 



The retailers are hoping for some- 

 what lower temperature prior to Christ- 

 mas, for large quantities of flowers will 

 be shipped in from Chicago and they 

 will travel better in colder weather.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



Business is fairly good, the supply 

 of flowers is adequate and prices re- 

 main about the same as usual. Stevia 

 and candytuft help out, also sweet 

 alyssum. Flowering plants sell fairly 

 well, also nice ferns. 



E. H. Chamberlain was in Boston and 

 vicinity last week, looking up stock 

 for Christmas. 



H. A. Jahn is cutting nice candytuft.

Good keeping and shipping qualities are one of the best assets a 



carnation can have. 



ST. NICHOLAS 



ships and keeps well, as is shown by the following letter: 



Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 29, 1911. 

 Messrs. Baur & Steinkamp, 

 Indianapolis, Ind. 

 Gentlemen : The writer thought you might like to know a little bit more of the 

 St. Nicholas carnations you sent here last week. They arrived Saturday morning, 

 November 25, In first-class condition. They were here on exhibition all day, the 

 writer took them home, and this morning, November 29, they are still in perfect 

 shape. 



It is a wonderful keeper. You must have cut these at least Thursday night, 

 because to get them hero by Saturday morning they would have to be shipped from 

 Indianapolis Friday morning. This speaks remarkably well for this variety, 

 considerint; that it had to travel almost a thousand miles to get here, and we 

 predict for it a bright future. 



Yours respectfully, 

 f Henry F. Michell Co. 



Paul F. Richtbb, General Manager. 



Everywhere that we have exhibited St. Nicholas this fall It 

 was Invariably conceded the best scarlet on exhibition. 

 Scored high every time. 87 points at Chicago Dec. 7th, and 

 one-third of the blooms staged had been exhibited at lndlan= 

 apolis Dec. 5th. Come and see how free It Is. Send In your 

 order now. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.
