BUSINESS OUTLOOK. 



All conditions seem favorable for the 

 best business season in the history of 

 the trade. The country was never be- 

 fore in so prosperous a condition and 

 the florist is sure to get his share, if 

 he keeps up with the times. The fol- 

 lowing from a recent review of the 

 general business situation is very 

 pleasant reading: 



AU things considered this country never be- 

 fore approached the close of a year with its 

 commercial and financial affairs so strong or 

 with sentiment so confident as is the case to- 

 day. The treasury gold reserve has this weelc 

 reached the highest point in the history of 

 the United States, crossing the $246,000,000 

 mark, while foreign trade statistics continue 

 to show an increasing balance on merchandise 

 account in this country's favor. A remark- 

 able feature of the November statement is 

 the fact that imports decreased in the face of 

 the largest trade movement ever known. For 

 eleven months the excess of exports reaches 

 the enormous figures of $537,837,046, or nearly 

 double the excess for the corresponding period 

 last year. 



The splendid Christmas trade we 

 have just enjoyed gives a realizing 

 sense of what these favorable condi- 

 tions mean to us, and is an augury of 

 a most satisfactory season. 



MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 



Christmas trade was better than 

 ever and the florists are happy. Sales 

 ■were from 30 to 50 per cent larger than 

 last year. Cut flowers were about 

 equal to demand with prices rather 

 high. Plants seem to take their place 

 in many cases, due probably to the 

 fact that the prices of these do not 

 -advance as with cut flowers. Palms 

 and azaleas were in especially good 

 demand and they seem to be more 

 popular every year. There was a 

 large supply of azaleas and all sold. 

 Weather was as fine as could be ex- 

 pected. N.
