The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



DXCBMBBB 15, 1910. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market. 



The last two weeks have been 

 marked by an exceptional activity in 

 our retail trade. Thanksgiving day was 

 far better than in former years and the 

 increase in flower decorations, and es- 

 pecially the sending of gift boxes of 

 choice cut flowers, was more noticeable 

 than heretofore. It seems that our 

 southern people are more and more 

 adopting this really pretty northern 

 custom, although the gardens are, as a 

 rule, still resplendent with chrysanthe- 

 mums and roses at that time of the 

 year. 



The funerals of two of our promi- 

 nent citizens, held recently on the same 

 day, kept the florists busy to such an 

 extent that their entire stock was used 

 up. Including the different bunches, 

 over a hundred pieces, mostly of an 

 exceptionally rich and beautiful char- 

 acter, were sent to each funeral. 



Although the prices of high grade 

 flowers are pretty steep, the large ship- 

 ments received, as well as those grown 

 here, find ready sale, and an all-around 

 satisfaction in regard to this season's 

 business finds ready expression. 



At the time of writing, although two 

 weeks from Christmas, the flower stores 

 were putting on their holiday attire. 

 Poinsettias in pans, Begonia Lorraine, 

 cyclamen, ericas, orchids, etc., as well 

 as fine specimens of various ferns and 

 foliage plants and made-up jardinieres, 

 are displayed in fine quality and great 

 profusion in the show windows and 

 Btores. The prospects for an especially 

 good holiday trade are bright and the 

 stock on the hands of our growers and 

 retailers is up to any demand. 



The most varied weather conditions 

 imaginable prevailed during the last 

 two weeks. The thermometer ranged 

 during that time from 50 degrees to 84 

 degrees during the day and from 30 

 degrees to 74 degrees at night, which 

 keeps the growers constantly on the 

 alert. During the last few days we 

 have been enjoying balmy spring 

 weather. Some of the outside flowers 

 are gone and, sorry to say, all the ex- 

 posed flowers of poinsettias, which are 

 nearly every Christmas to be seen by 

 hundreds all over the city in all their 

 gorgeousness, were greatly damaged by 

 the killing frost a week ago. The 

 early planted Paper White narcissi and 

 Eoman hyacinths will soon be in bloom 

 outdoors and help, to a certain extent) 

 to make good for the loss sustained.
