The Weekly Florists' Review* 



69 



of rain and shoufd we be blessed with 

 it in the near future it would go a long 

 way toward putting some life into busi- 

 ness, which at the present writing is 

 not as lively as one should expect. 

 There has been a sharp increase all 

 along the line with all stock. Carna- 

 tions have increased about twenty-five 

 per cent, roses fully fifty per cent, and 

 chrysanthemums about the same. Com- 

 pared with the prices charged the stores 

 one year ago, however, they are not 

 any higher. Violets, since the disap- 

 pearance of the cool moist days, are 

 not quite so plentiful and we may ex- 

 pect a slight advance together with a 

 lessened supply shortly. Funeral orders 

 have kept most of the retailers busy 

 and these together with a fair round of 

 weddings and othen happenings fill out 

 fairly well. Prom all accounts Thanks- 

 giving trade was slightly below that of 

 last year and the great bulk of the 

 orders were for smaller articles and 

 the sales in smaller amounts. It is yet 

 too early to prognosticate on Christmas 

 , business, but from all appearances 

 there will be an abundance of stock of 

 all kinds.
