This is the finest novelty now in the market. If 

 your customers ask for something good and "different," 

 show them our Bouvardia. As it sells on sight to city 

 buyers, we advise ordering one day ahead.

There can be no complaint of the qual- 

 ity of roses; indeed, the complaint is 

 that much of the stock is worth more 

 money than the retailers are willing to 

 give for it for the uses they have for 

 the flowers; short and medium roses are 

 bringing relatively better values than 

 the extra lengths. 



Carnations were plentiful -November 

 28, but the next day's receipts were 

 light. The quality averages first-class 

 and buyers are taking hold better than 

 many thought they would after the 

 flurry in prices before Thanksgiving. 



Chrysanthemums show that the end 

 of the season is rapidly approaching. 

 Many of the large growers say they are 

 cut out and the stock in the wholesale 

 houses is of that ragged character that 

 shows not many more are to come from 

 the same sources. The Bonnaffons and 

 Batons are about gone; the best blooms 

 this week are Nonin and the Chad- 

 wicks. 



The supply of violets continues much 

 below other years. Sweet peas, how- 

 ever, are coming in much more plenti- 

 fully than ever before at this date. 

 There are now considerable quantities 

 of Paper Whites and quite a few callas. 

 Stevia is abundant. Valley is selling 

 so well the ordinary supply is inade- 

 quate. Easter lilies may be had in 

 quantity. Some choice bouvardia sells 

 well. 



The greens market continues normal. 

 Ferns have generally advanced to $2 

 with the arrival of December. 



East Sixty-third Street. 



Keenan's, at 1306 East Sixty-third 

 street, say that nothing better could 

 have been asked for Thanksgiving; 

 people wouldn't climb for flowers, but 

 there was a heavy trade at normal 

 prices. Business is reported as having 

 been steadier than usual all summer and 

 autumn; no rush, but something doing 

 all the time. 



J. E. Schaeffer is no longer with J. 

 H. McNeilly, on Sixty-third street, his 

 place having been taken by a young 

 lady who formerly worked for J. Bom- 

 benger, at Sixty-first and Woodlawn, 

 who, with his rebuilt and enlarged 

 place, undoubtedly does the largest 

 trade in that part of town. 



W. H. Hilton, who, early in the year,

Various Notes. 



Bouquet green was quoted this week 

 at $10 to $12, but little changed hands. 

 Those who hold bulk green are not 

 anxious to sell; they are making it in- 

 to light wreathing and are holding the 

 wreathing at stiff prices. Occasionally 

 a case or two of green is released to 

 some good customer, largely as an ac- 

 commodation, at about $9.50. 



E. C. Amling, always a believer in 

 well directed advertising, watches with 

 much interest the newspaper advertis- 

 ing of the retailers. He says that, in 

 seeking business by this method, the 

 retailers are now where the wholesalers 

 were ten years ago; that he expects to 

 see retail advertising increase just as 

 wholesale advertising has, and that 

 with it will come an increase in the de- 

 mand for flowers that will make the 

 present volume of business look as 

 small then as the volume of ten years 

 ago looks now. 



The Florists' Club holds its regular 

 meeting tonight, December 1, at the 

 Union restaurant. The special feature 

 will be the nomination of oflBcers.

Aphine does not alone destroy the in-

\. .1. Wietor says that Wietor Bros, 

 were practically cut out of chrysanthe- 

 mums the day before Thanksgiving, 

 fully two weeks earlier than usual. He 

 says the early stock did not realize its 

 usual prices, but that the later va- 

 rieties did better than usual, so that 

 on the whole it has been an average 

 season, or perhaps a little ahead of the 

 average.
