Holiday trade was 30 per cent, bet- 

 ter than in any previous year, al- 

 though the extra demand was at 

 Christmas. New Year's has been los- 

 ing ground here for some time. Plants 

 sold better than usual. Red roses were 

 short, other colors in good supply. Car- 

 nations plentiful, except yellow. 

 Weather very favorable for delivering 

 at Christmas. W. A. H.
