THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



NEVER TOO LATE TO MEND 



We were so busy last week that we did not wish you — 

 as we now do with a hearty srood will — 



A MERRY CHRISTMAS and a 



Prosperous and HAPPY NEW YEAR 



We wish to extend our hearty thanks to all our friends for their liberal patronage and to assure 

 them that we will do our utmost to merit a continuance of their favor during the coming year.

flowering plants and baskets. He never 

 fails to get his share of the trade. 



Henry Cook reports a satisfactory 

 business at his new store. His stock is 

 always well grown. 



C. 'W. Eichling made big preparations 

 for the holidays and stated that the 

 demand for high grade cut flowers is 

 getting larger every year. 



The Frank Floral Co. is ready to do 

 a big business for Christmas. 



The Metairie Ridge Nursery Co. has 

 its store richly decorated, a life-size 

 reindeer harnessed to a sled loaded with 

 flowers being the main attraction. A 

 large stock of all kinds of seasonable 

 baskets, plants, etc., fills the spacious 

 store. 



J. A. Newsham has an exceptionally 

 fine lot of azaleas, orchids, etc., in 

 bloom, besides splendid adiantums and 

 other foliage plants. The sympathy of 

 all the local florists is with him and his 

 family on account of the recent death 

 of his little daughter. 



Frank Eieth, Jr., keeps his store 

 always attractive. With a select stock 

 on hand, he hopes to do this season as 

 well as formerly. 



U. J. Virgin, as always at Christmas, 

 shows a big display of artistically made 

 up hampers, foliage and flowering 

 plants. He is well satisfied with his 

 share of the flower business done here. 



Fred. Ziegler, Jr., has a good trade 

 established and keeps the stock on hand 

 moving. _^_ K- E.

The Market. 



For the last week flowers have been 

 arriving rather sparingly at the whole- 

 sale markets and the supply has liardly 

 been equal to the demand. They are 

 arriving more freely today, December 

 23, but the demand is excellent, and 

 unless an avalanche of pickled flowers 

 materialize on Christmas eve it looks 

 at this time like a good, old-fashioned 

 clean-up. Some of the leading retail- 

 ers are devoting most of their energies 

 to pot plants, in which they are doing 

 a heavy trade, and are buying no more 

 cut flowers at prevailing prices than are 

 absolutely necessary. 



Roses are arriving in good numbers,

and without them the market would, 

 indeed, be somewhat desolate. Prices 

 show a good advance on colored varie- 

 ties and little change on white. Mrs. 

 Bussell and American Beauty, with 

 large stems are quoted at $9 to $12 per 

 dozen. The supply of the first named 

 is, of course, quite inadequate to the 

 demand. Never were grander Eich- 

 monds seen here for Christmas. The 

 best are making $& to $8 per dozen, 

 with stems four to five and one-half 



feet long. Killarney Queen sells well, 

 and so do Cardinal, Taft and Killar- 

 ney. 



Carnations are opening slowly and 

 are bringing high prices, $4 to $8 per 

 hundred, with fancies somewhat higher.

 Pink Delight and Gloriosa are in special
