The Florists' Review 



NOTKMBEB 28, 1912. 



HOLLY 



UHAVB just completed my contracts with the Holly peo- 

 ple of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia for my supply 



HOLLY 



for the season of 1912. I secured my Holly this year 



to be cut from the swamps in the lower part of Delaware and 



Maryland, as it is greener and has more berries on than the 

 upland Holly. It will be strictly flrst-class in every particular. I will have it packed as usual, in regular size cases, 

 2x2x4, and I positively guarantee it as represented. My first car will arrive here about December 1. The price on orders 

 received during November will be $3.00 |per case, f. o. b. Philadelphia. 



I have my Wreaths made of the brightest dark green 

 Holly possible to secure, wrapped with wire, on 10-inch 

 hoops, and each Wreath has four or five spots of berries. 

 Price. $10.00, $i2.60 and $15.00 per 100, according to weight 

 and quality. 



My Laurel Wreathing comes from New Jersey. The 

 Laurel is gathered in the swamps, and the Wreathing is made 

 by hand on heavy roping in 60-yard lengths. Price. 3c per yd. 



The Mistletoe comes mostly from North and South Car- 



olina and is well berried. Price, $2.50 to $4.00 per barrel ; 

 $6.00 to $10.00 per case, according to quality, about 100 lbs. 

 to case. 



Lycopodium. in 10-yard rolls, 4c to 6c per yard. 



Christmas Trees, 6 to 20 feet high, 76c to $2.60 each. 



Send me your orders ; state the day you want it shipped, 

 and if by freight or express and by what route or railroad. 



All Christmas Greens are sold on spot cash terms, and 

 checks must accompany all orders.

ended the motion, which was carried 

 unanimously. A lively interest in the 

 coming exposition already makes itself 

 felt among the local growers, and no 

 doubt a keen rivalry will be shown at 

 the coming exposition. Secretary C. K. 

 Panter was appointed to represent the 

 society at the fair. A vote of thanks 

 was tendered to Eichard Vincent, Jr., to 

 Harry Papworth and to the Progressive 

 Union in connection with the interest- 

 ing lecture given here recently by Mr. 

 Vincent. Harry Dresel, the eminent 

 rose grower for the Metairie Eidge 

 Nursery Co., exhibited the following 

 novelties of indoor-grown roses: Prince 

 de Arenberg, Edward Mawley, Eeine 

 Mere d 'Italic, Principal Pirrie, May- 

 flower, Jonkheer J. L. Mock, Double 

 White Killarney. and a seedling pro- 

 duced by him. The parent is Ehea Eeid 

 X American Beauty. The shape and 

 color are like the former, but it is much 

 larger and fuller, with the fragrance of 

 the latter. His display attracted spe- 

 cial attention and Mr. Dresel was the 

 recipient of hearty congratulations on 

 his success in adding such a valuable 

 acquisition to the newly introduced va- 

 rieties. A fine specimen of Begonia 

 Lorraine was also shown by the same 

 exhibitor. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Ziegler has established for him- 

 self a fine trade, both in landscape work 

 and in the general florists ' business. He 

 intends to grow stock for the whole- 

 sale market on a large tract of land out 

 of town. 



Wm. Nelson, one of the pioneers of 

 the pecan industry, who introduced such 

 standard varieties as the Nelson, 

 Frotscher, etc., has part of his new 

 place of three acres devoted to pecan 

 culture. The rest will be used for the 

 wholesale growing of sweet peas, Easter 

 lilies, asters, snapdragons and mums. 

 Mr. Nelson is a veteran in the business 

 and a successful grower. 



The Bollwinkle Seed Co. reports a 

 constant increase in trade, both local 

 and mail order. E. E. 



Des Moines, la. — When J. S. Wilson 

 returned from the big St. Paul flower 

 show, at which he was one of the 

 judges, he was enthusiastic in his praise 

 of the exhibition and stated that he 

 could see no reason why Des Moines 

 might not also have a successful show. 

 It is stated, therefore, that this city 

 will have a flower show next year, if 

 plans now being made by Mr. Wilson 

 are carried forward to completion.
