The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



December 14, 1911. 





BOCHESTEB. 



The Market. 



A falling off in trade has been 

 noticed since the Thanksgiving rush. 

 However, advance Christmas orders are 

 coming in and the lull merely gives 

 opportunity for getting the stores 

 decorated and in order for the holiday 

 trade. Exceptionally fine, mild weather, 

 with a great deal of sun, has made the 

 prices of flowers drop considerably this 

 week. It affected nearly everything 

 but Beauties, which still are up. 



Chrysanthemums are poor, what there 

 are of them, and apparently there will 

 be none for Christmas as in former 

 years. Timothy Eaton is the best mum 

 on the market now. In carnations. 

 Pink Delight is the best variety, with 

 fine blooms and long, firm stems. Bea- 

 con comes next, and red is in great 

 demand at this time of the year. En- 

 chantress, Perfection, and Winsor are 

 all fairly good. A few Lawsons are 

 seen. Roses are all good. Radiance is 

 coming in with new vigor and splendid 

 color, Eichmonds are becoming more 

 plentiful. Hillingdon is quite popular 

 but the supply is light. Killarney is 

 pale. Last week a scarcity in roses 

 was felt and naturally the price went 

 up, but the latter part of the week the 

 fair weather brought in a more abun- 

 dant supply. Since the price of violets 

 has been raised sales have fallen off 

 almost one half. Valley is good, but 

 there is little demand. Gardenias are 

 good. Orcflids have aavanced in price 

 and Cattleyas now bring $1.25 apiece. 

 Cypripediums are not selling at all. 

 Stevia and Roma-, hyacinths are mov- 

 ing well. 



Poinsettias, holly, laurel, ground pine 

 and winter belries are here, reminding 

 us that the holidays are near. Wreath- 

 ing is selling well. Smilax, galax of 

 both colors and ferns are plentiful. 

 Asparagus plumosus sprays that are 

 grown in Florida are flooding the mar- 

 ket at a reasonable figure. 



Flowering plants are as much in de- 

 mand as ever and Boston ferns and 

 palms are also selling well. 



Various Notes, 



William F. Kasting, of Buffalo, was 

 in the city on business last week. 



R, E, Hall, of Reed & Keller, New 

 York, called on local florists recently. 



Geo, J, Keller is producing some 

 stevia of exceptional quality. 



A. N, Pierson, Inc., is shipping first- 

 class Melody roses to this city. 



John Sullivan has entered the em- 

 ploy of Geo. Keller.
