The Florists^ Review 



D£CEMB£R 5, 1912. 



Fresh From the Sunny South to You 



IT MEANS a big saving to buy the quality of Boxwood Sprays 

 ^ that you can use every bit of. It means a big^ loss to you 

 when you pay for heavy wood and poor quality. 



We stand by every pound we ship; you take no rislc on our 

 quality or weight. Our special light-weight shipping cases are 

 express savers. Let us send you a sample case of 50 pounds, 

 net weight, at $7.50; if not satisfactory, no pay. Better get 

 your order in early. We are selling up close to our supply.

• look over some of the rose establish- 

 ments near New York before returning, 

 including the Bedford Hills range in 

 charge of John Pritchard, one of Mr. 

 Elliott's graduates, formerly in charge 

 of the Budlong range at Auburn, E. I. 



The most elaborate and costly floral 

 decoration Boston has yet seen was 

 arranged at the Copley Plaza hotel, De- 

 cember 4, for the coming out of Miss 

 Webster, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 

 E. S. Webster. James Farquhar had 

 charge of the decorations. He had a 

 corps of forty assistants, who were kept 

 hustling for twenty-seven hours. 



The Flower Growers' Sales Co. easily 

 disposed of all the heavy receipts of 

 flowers for Thanksgiving and business 

 is brisk with them. William Sim's vio- 

 lets are in special demand. 



William R. Nicholson, of Framing- 

 ham, is cutting some of his invincible 

 mignonette. His carnations are unusu- 

 ally good now. He has a big crop of 

 marguerites coming on and will have 

 Purity freesia by Christmas. 



William T. Walke, of Salem, is justly 

 proud of two fine houses of cyclamens. 

 He also has a splendid lot of poin- 

 settias. 



The W. W. Edgar Co. sold practi- 

 cally all azaleas in flower for Thanks- 

 giving and disposed of quantities of 

 begonias, cyclamens and poinsettias. 



Representatives of the two wholesale 

 flower markets are still discussing a 

 union of forces at the new market at 

 Winthrop Square, and the outlook is 

 said to be encouraging. 



The landscape committee of the 

 Gardeners^ and Florists' Club and the 

 teachers, Messrs. R. W. Aldrich and 

 P. R. Smith, recently met a number of 

 students at Horticultural hall and ar- 

 ranged for a resumption of the land- 

 scape classes. 



Joseph Breck & Sons are planning 

 for the entire reconstruction of their 

 seed departments. They will also pro- 

 vide suitable offices for the draughts-

The Fottler, Fiske, Eawson Co. has 

 had an excellent trade in bulbs this 

 season. A good line of decorative

The Market. 



November closed in a most satisfac- 

 tory manner. The weather for the 

 month was the finest of the year. Stock 

 of all kinds was plentiful all the month 

 and brought fair prices. The last week 

 was satisfactory in every way. The 

 Thanksgiving trade, though not phe- 

 nomenal, was all that could be expected. 

 Stock was cleaned up nicely and chrys-

anthemums saw their finish, for which 

 the wholesalers, at least, were thank- 

 ful. Probably Beauties were the only 

 flowers that did not do all that was 

 expected of them; the increased prices 

 put a damper on their sale. Violets 

 were fine and moved nicely. The same 

 can be said of roses, but carnations 

 were scarce and probably will be so for 

 some time. Paper Whites, Romans, 

 stevia, j'ellow daisies and baby prim- 

 roses are the principal additions to the 

 stock. It will probably be a few days 

 before the dealers will learn to accom- 

 modate themselves to the use of smaller 

 flowers after using chrysanthemums. 

 December started in with rain and 

 rough weather, and rather a shortage of
