Top-Notch Growers Wanted at Once 



€t We are in the market for the services of two growers who are experts in their line — one for our 

 Carnation section and one for our Rose section. We want a man for each of these departments who 

 is capable of taking entire charge of same. Men must ihoroughly know their business and have best 

 of references and be strictly sober. This is a good chance to become connected with one of the oldest 

 and best plants in Iowa. Address 



J. C. Rennison Co., Sioux City, Iowa 



business in evergreens for spring plant- 

 ing and in February they expect to re- 

 ceive a carload of rhododendrons, aza- 

 leas, Colorado blue spruce and boxwood 

 trees. A large number of small fruit 

 trees and shrubs are heeled in, in this 

 new storage shed. 



H. E. Wilson did a greater amount 

 of business this year than last, it is 

 reported. 



James Vick's Sons are wholesaling 

 and retailing Boston ferns at present, 

 but they had no special run on anything 

 for the holidays. 



H. B. Stringer is busy getting out 

 announcements for the next meeting 

 of the Florists' Association, to take 

 place early in January. E. C. A. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



Holiday week business was good as a 

 whole, the demand for pink and red 

 being much heavier than for white 

 flowers. Warm weather throughout the 

 week, even though rainy and inclement 

 generally, made deliveries easy for the 

 florists, for the £^nts and bol:es re- 

 quired only ordinary wrapping. The 

 beginning of this week brought bright, 

 sunny, cold weather. 



In roses Killarney was easily the 

 most popular. The long ones of this 

 variety were used to a large extent 

 in place of American Beauties. This 

 latter flower was short of the call and 

 brought top prices. The supply of red 

 was fair and included Eichmond and 

 Rhea Reid. The supply of white was 

 large and managed to clean up fairly 

 well. 



Practically all carnations sold up 

 nicely. Red, Rose-pink Enchantress, 

 Enchantress, Lawson-colored varieties 

 and white cleaned up in the order 

 named. Some of the culls and poorer 

 stock were left, but the good blooms 

 sold in a hurry. ' 



The supply of choice poinsettias for 

 New Year's was rather short. The 

 growers cut practically all their really 

 good stock to meet the Christmas and 

 early holiday demand and as a result 

 the offerings were not nearly as heavy 

 as usual. Bulbous stock added another 

 to its list last week, namely,, jonquils. 

 The supply, however, is as yet limited. 

 Narcissi and Romans drag continually 

 and have not effected an entire clean- 

 up for some time. Both Easter lilies 

 and callas are proving good property, 

 at only fair prices. 



Other flowers offered include double 

 and single violets, valley, orchids and
