The Florists' Review 



NOVBMBBB 28, 1912. 



BOCHESTEB, N. Y. 



IStcyj^arket. 



The i&arket improved last week, but 

 was still short. This is the usual con- 

 dition for the week before Thanksgiv- 

 ing. The growers are inclined to hold 

 back in anticipation of higher Thanks- 

 giving prices, but it is doubtful if they 

 get them. The florists are freely using 

 the Thanksgiving card as prepared by 

 the publicity commi4;tee of the New 

 York Florists' Club. 



Various Notes. 



Felix Alberts, store manager for H. 

 P. Neun, has a decorated Thanksgiving 

 table in the window this week. It is 

 a round table set complete for twelve 

 covers. This is the first such decora- 

 tion seen here since the one Mr. Alberts 

 put in last Thanksgiving. He has a 

 nice lot of pot-grown stevias coming 

 in. Besides these he is expecting a 

 shipment of fine rhododendrons, prunus, 

 lilacs, azaleas, etc. This week he is 

 having a special sale of Boston ferns 

 at 35 cents each. Mr. Neun's three 

 new 150-foot houses are nearly com- 

 pleted. 



J. B. Keller Sons have a fine house 

 of poinsettias. They are not growing 

 up tall and leaving a long, bare stem, 

 but are comparatively short, with the 

 leaves set close together. They are not 

 inclined to drop the leaves as soon as 

 is usually the case. Keller's houses 

 also contain a nice stock of cyclamens 

 and Lorraine begonias. 



The Bochester Floral Co. has had a 

 special sale of bulbs of white tulips at 

 $1 per hundred. 



At the December meeting of the 

 Bochester Florists' Association Fred 

 Brown, of Buffalo, will give an address 

 on "Design and Decoration." 



James Vick's Sons report an unprec- 

 edented bulb sale this year. 



John Vollmar, of J. B. Keller Sons, 

 did a nice job of landscape gardening 

 when he decorated their window last 

 week. It represented a formal garden 

 with pond and fountain. S. A. 



Clinton, Mass.— A. P. Meredith & Son, 

 who a few months ago purchased the 

 business of E. W. Breed, will open a 

 store in the Fhilbin block, on High 

 street. The building is well adapted 

 for the display of flowers. 



Clinton, la. — ^Frank P. and Boy 

 Sawyer, father and son, have succeeded 

 in developing a strain of pansies with 

 flowers of unusually large size. Many 

 of the blooms, it is said, are more than 

 two inches in diameter. Shipping busi- 

 ness has been good and included a re- 

 cent order for 25,000 plants to be sent 

 to Jacksonville, Fla.
