TheWcckdy Florists' Review^ 



Decembeb 28, 1911. 



EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The Market. 



From all reports, the business done 

 this Christmas was greater than in any- 

 previous year. The weather was fair 

 and warm and it seemed more like 

 Easter than Christmas. The day was 

 ideal for delivering, as no plants had to 

 be wrapped. The demand for roses and 

 carnations was far greater than the 

 supply. Potted plants were in demand 

 and everything went. 



Roses sold up to $3 per dozen and car- 

 nations up to $1.50 per dozen. Violets 

 sold well and were in good supply. An 

 especially noted fact was that magnolia 

 and boxwood wreaths with bunches of 

 immortelles were in far greater demand 

 for cemetery work, as were the ready 

 made designs of prepared flowers. Im- 

 mense quantities of holly were used and 

 this was well berried and of good qual- 

 ity this year. 



Various Notes. 



Julius ISiednagel & Sons did more 

 business than at any previous Christmasc « 

 They cleaned out on roses, carnations, 

 violets and flowering plants and could 

 have sold more. They cut about 4,000 

 roses, 2,500 carnations and 3,000 violets. 

 C. L. Niednagel says it seemed that 

 they made more magnolia and boxwood 

 wreaths than in all other years com- 

 bined. The full force was kept busy 

 early in the week making them up. 



J. C. Elsperman had a much larger 

 business than at any other Christmas. 



Eoyston & Fenton could have sold 

 many more roses if they had been able 

 to get them. Mrs. E. L. Fenton and 

 Edgar, Jr., left December 24 for a 

 week's visit in Cincinnati. 



The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. en- 

 joyed an immense business and from 

 Thursday till Monday worked night 

 and day. They did not cut enough 

 roses or carnations and bought heavily 

 of these. They had lots of stevia, 

 sweet peas, violets, etc., for which there 

 was a big demand. Geo. Blackman says 

 that they had a great call for mag- 

 nolia wreaths, also boxwood. The as- 

 sortment of plants was extra good. 



Ben Kramer says that business was 

 extra good and he sold out of every- 

 thing. 



Louis Fritsch was decidedly busy. He 

 had a nice cut of carnations and bought 

 several hundred roses. He had a good 

 assortment of pot plants and enjoyed 

 a good demand for them. 



Nellie Goodge did not have enough 

 stock to supply the demand. 



Henry Seymour sold all that he had 

 on hand. E. L. F.
