Mention Tbe Review when you write. 



There are now considerable quantities 

 of tulips coming in, to find no waiting 

 demand. Paper Whites a|nd Romans are 

 so plentiful that they make low prices. 

 There are all the Easter lilies that can 

 be used and callas are coming in more 

 freely. Freesia has appeared. Pansies 

 and daisies are available in any quan- 

 tity needed and there is a little good 

 bouvardia. Sweet peas are plentiful 

 and the quality is excellent. 



The greens department- presents no 

 new feature of interest save that there 

 is a large quantity of smilax ready to 

 cut the moment the orders appear. 



The present week opened with an all 

 day drizzle on New Year's, with the 

 result that city stores generally carried 

 over enough stock to serve their needs 

 for the half day's business on Monday. 

 There was, however, a fair run of ship- 

 ping Monday and Tuesday. The supply 

 of stock is fully up to all requirements, 

 quality is good and the situation is one 

 that encourages the retailers to push 

 for business. Carnations are plentiful 

 and Paper Whites a glut. Stevia has 

 turned to the short side. 



December and the Year. 



The first part of December was 

 marked by a plentiful supply of roses 

 and a shortage of carnations, but the 

 latter part of the month brought an 

 abundance in all lines. Where prices 

 the first part of the month were excel- 

 lent, for the latter half of the month 

 they averaged much below those of

other years. The quantity of stock sold 

 was, however, so great that the total 

 of sales for the month ran considerably 

 ahead of last year, taking the market 

 as a whole. 



Taking the year 1910, the various in- 

 terests in the market were well enough 

 satisfied so that if 1911 proves as good, 

 there will be little complaint. It is 

 to be doubted, however, if the money 

 value of the cut flowers produced for 

 this market in the aggregate has in- 

 creased any more than has the glass 

 area of the growers. The number of 

 shippers is constantly increasing. 



December Weather. 



December was bright, cold and dry, 

 not so cold as December a year ago, 

 but 3 degrees below the average. The 



sun shone on an average of three hours 

 and fifty-four minutes a day, which is 

 forty-two per cent of the possible dura- 

 tion. 



For the year 1910, the accumulation 

 of excess temperature was 772 degrees. 

 The deficiency in precipitation was 6.42 

 inches. 



Various Notes. 



The imports of seeds, plants and 

 bulbs through the Chicago custom- 

 house in 1910 were valued at $233,258 

 and paid duty amounting to $53,305.25. 



Manager John Sinner says that the 

 report current in the wholesale district, 

 to the effect that the Flower Growers' 

 Co. has leased new quarters for its 

 market, is premature, but a director 

 of the company is authority for the
