The Weekly Florists' Review.

field in the last days of 1910, as wit- 

 ness the following from Austin, Tex.: 

 "The charter of the Cross S. Farm- 

 ing Co., Crystal City, Uvalde county, 

 Texas, with an authorized issue of cap- 

 ital stock of $1,000,000, was filed De- 

 cember 23 in the oflSce of the secretary 

 of state. The purpose for which this 

 corporation was formed is the growing, 

 selling and purchasing of seeds, plants, 

 trees, etc., for agricultural, horticultural 

 and ornamental purposes, and to pur- 

 chase and lease all lands necessary for 

 that purpose. The incorporators are 

 E. J. Buckingham, Carl F. Groos, H. L. 

 Howard and Mason Williams. F. W. 

 Mally, who recently resigned as ento- 

 mologist of the state department of 

 agriculture, is connected with this com- 

 pany. ' '

The Market. 



The business among the local trade 

 since Christmas has been fairly good; 

 of course, nothing like the rush of the 

 previous week. From reports gathered 

 Monday morning, January 2, in the 

 wholesale district it seems that New 

 Year's trade was good in cut flowers 

 and in the decorating line. This is 

 only among the uptown florists. The 

 downtown florists say it was like any 

 ordinary week and a little extra on 

 Saturday and Sunday. There was also 

 plenty of good stock to be had at any 

 of our wholesale houses all through last 

 week. 



Plenty of roses in all grades and 

 varieties are to be had at reasonable 

 prices. Carnations are not overplenti- 

 ful, but are enough for the demand, 

 with $5 for top price. There have been 

 more violets than the demand called for, 

 at $1 per hundred for the best. 



Bulbous stock is more plentiful, and 

 last week found plenty of it in the 

 market. Bomans and Paper Whites 

 sold well. Lily of the valley had a good 

 call. Callas and Harrisii are coming in 

 more plentifully and sell well. Sweet 

 peas are in good demand. 



The opening of the grand opera sea- 

 son this week at the Coliseum should 

 make an extra demand for good stock. 

 There are also several big social events 

 for this week, which should make the 

 first week in the new year a good one 

 for the local florists, and it should con- 

 tinue so until Lent sets in. 



Various Notes. ' 



A new firm, known as the Alexander 

 Floral Co., has started business in the 

 county. They purchased four acres of 

 land from George Waldbart on Olive 

 street near the North and South road. 

 They are building a house, 25x150 

 the material coming from the King Con- 

 struction Co. John Wunderli is man- 

 ager, and they will grow roses for this 

 market. 



Monday, December 26, there were 

 plenty of double violets in the market, 

 as two large shipments from the east 

 were refused by several west end flo- 

 rists because they came too late for 

 Christmas orders. The express company 

 sold them to pay charges, and they were 

 bought up by downtown florists. 



Miss Rose Klosterman, the clever 

 young artist with the Metropolitan 

 Floral Co., says she had her hands full 

 all through the holidays. 



Ostertag Bros, furnished the decora- 

 tions in the Coliseum for the opening 

 of the Metropolitan Opera Co. Wild 

 smilax and laurel were the principal
