"^Cl^tlons WHOLESALE 



A Specialty 6R0WER Of 



cut FLOWERS 



Mention The Review when vou write 



cember 22, but was unable to stay. This 

 week he is much better. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. is sending some 

 of its out-of-town customers large 

 framed copies of the photographs of the 

 two Poehlmann plants that appeared in 

 The Review for September 1. 



At E. H. Hunt's the Christmas rush 

 is no sooner ended than they plunge 

 into the annual inventory. 



Capt. Ransom Kennicott, cousin of 

 Flint and Amasa Kennicott, died at 

 4064 Ellis avenue December 25, aged 72 

 years. 



C. L. Washburn says he has seen 

 Christmases when Bass'ett & Washburn 

 handled more flowers, except Beauties, 

 but that it was the most satisfactory 

 season he ever has known. 



Fleischman, as usual, had bigger

 the cut flowers greatly exceeds the

 received, business was just a little bet- 

 ter than last year. 



Plants of all kinds sold well, Lor- 

 raine begonias, azaleas, cyclamen anJ 

 poinsettias going first. The last named 

 is truly the Christmas flower, but it has 

 the reputation of being a poor house 

 plant, and for this reason is not as 

 much in demand as some others. Cycla- 

 men in the larger sizes did not sell 

 readily. Azaleas are always good, and 

 found ready sale. They were almost 

 worth their weight in gold the week be- 

 fore Christmas. Everybody who had
