The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JANUABT 4, 1912. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Everyone seems well satisfied with 

 the Christmas business. There was a 

 good demand for both plants and cut 

 flowers, although prices on the latter 

 were rather high. Azaleas, poinsettias 

 in pane, begonias, primroses and cycla- 

 mens sold well and nearly all wfere 

 cleaned out. Wreaths, and all kinds of 

 evergreens, including pine, laurel and 

 holly, sold well. 



Cut flowers were rather high; red 

 carnations, which were somewhat 

 scarce, selling at $1.50 per dozen, while 

 roses went to $3. Violets and sweet 

 peas were in good demand, while Paper 

 Whites and stevia helped out. 



The weather was ideal for delivering, 

 little wrapping being necessary. Taken 

 all in all Christmas, 1911, was as good 

 as the previous year, and in most cases 

 better. 



Business last week was good, with 

 but little change in cut flower prices. 

 Funeral work is ^ood. 



Various Notes. 



R. H. Woodhouse, Wm. P. Peirce, 

 E. H. Chamberlain, Wm. H. Davenport, 

 R. E. NoflPtz and E. Y. Peirce had about 

 all they could do, and made some ex- 

 cellent window displays. 



Wm. E. Mosher had an especially 

 nice lot of carnations for the holidays. 



Peter Murray has a nice assortment 

 of flowering plants. 



S. S. Peckham is bringing in some 

 nice snapdragons. W. L. 



East Las Vegas, N. M. — Perry Onion 

 & Son say: "Christmas business was 

 fifty per cent better than ever before, 

 partly due to our better location. Poin- 

 settias, of which we had a fine lot, 

 were the best sellers, and Christmas 

 trees, wreaths and greens also sold 

 well. Snow and zero weather made 

 delivery difficult. Up to date we have 

 had the worst winter that we have 

 ever experienced; for two weeks be- 

 fore Christmas the thermometer went 

 below zero every night, and such weath- 

 er is, of course, decidedly unusual with 

 us."
