The Florists^ Review 



Decembkk 12, 1912., 



BAIiTIMOBE. 



The Market. 



There was plenty of rain this week, 

 eontinuing for about four days, after 

 which the weather began to get much 

 cooler. The temperature dropped to 

 about 34 degrees. However, trade is 

 still holding its own, in spite of the 

 poor outlook. There has been a great 

 deal of funeral work and this has kept 

 everybody hustling. The retail stores 

 are beginning to show signs of prepara- 

 tion for Christmas. Many pot plants 

 of holly are to be seen. Carnations are 

 beginning to come on and are of good 

 quality, but the demand more than 

 equals the supply, especially for the 

 whites. Koses seem to be plentiful, 

 with a little advance in price. Amer- 

 ican Beauties, unlike the teas, are some- 

 what scarce and are selling at a high 

 figure. The sale of potted plants has 

 been quite heavy, and will probably 

 increase as we near the holidays. Vio- 

 lets and lily of the valley are in brisk 

 demand. Orchids are not plentiful, but 

 there are enough of them to go around. 

 All other flowers are going well at the 

 usual figures. Good crops are in sight 

 :tfiT the holiday trade. The prophet^ 

 are figuring to get only moderate prices 

 this season. 



Various Notes. 



F. C. Bauer has a fine show house of 

 potted plants of various kinds in readi- 

 ness for Christmas. 



L. A. H. Klein is cutting some fine 

 tea roses, which are easily disposed of. 



M. Thau & Co. are growing a fine lot 

 of Victory carnations, which surely 

 ought to create a demand for the holi- 

 days. 



H. Fortuber, formerly connected with 

 the Baltimore Florists' Exchange, now 

 is engaged in the retail florists' busi- 

 ness and is doing well. S. W. 



Natchez, Miss. — Chris Maier & Bro. 

 have completed their new greenhouse, 

 boiler house and workroom. The two 

 brothers are experienced landscape gar- 

 deners as well as florists. 



• Midland, Mich.— W. E. Thayer has 

 just completed a new greenhouse, 20x 

 100, which he will use for lettuce and 

 radishes, as he finds that all the space 

 in his former houses will be required 

 for flowers. 



Binghamton, N. T. — W. H. Graham 

 has disposed of his flower business here, 

 with the intention of removing to Little 

 Falls, N. Y., and taking charge of the 

 business of his brother, J. 0. Graham, 

 in that city. The brother in Little Falls 

 has been in ill health for several weeks 

 and has needed assistance. W. H. Gra- 

 ham has been in the trade here nearly 

 twenty years, for five years of that time 

 being in partnership with his brother.
