 $1.50 to $2.50; Romans and narcissus, 

 $3; violets, retail, English. $2; Califor-

 en; catUeyas, 75 cents to $1 each; 

 cyps, $3.50 to $4 per dozen. There has 

 been considerable funeral work the 

 past week. 



Business Changes. 



Mr. Chas. Erharcit has closed his 

 store and is going on the road for a 

 Philadelphia house. Mr. Paddock has 

 closed his Erie street store and opened 

 in the East End on Euclid avenue. 



Two Stories. 



The crape chaser encountered a West 

 Side florist to his sorrow the other 

 day. A friend of the latter died and 

 he had received an order for three 

 pieces from the family of the deceased. 

 The chaser came to the house shortly, 

 hung a door wreath on the door, sym- 

 pathized with the family and asked for 

 the floral work; he being a singer, also 

 offered his services at requiem mass, 

 if given the floral order. Being in- 

 formed that the order was placed and 

 ascertaining the amount charged, he 

 informed them that they were being 

 robbed, and offered to make the same 

 pieces for $10 less. Mr. West Side 

 found him shortly after and with his 

 hand on his trachea shut off the sur- 

 plus wind, allowing him sufficient to 

 keep his mind from wandering, and 

 gave him a lecture in C sharp. The 

 singer did not sing that day. 



A good story was told to a Euclid 

 avenue florist the other day by a cus- 

 tomer of a New York florist. A cus- 

 tomer sent the office boy to the flower 

 store with two cards. On the one 

 was his name, and on the other (to 

 the florist) was "Do the best you can 

 for $2.00." By mistake, he sent the 

 wrong card to the fellow's best girl. 

 There was a hot time, 'tis said.

HAMILTON, ONT. 



Christmas trade here was fully 25 

 per cent better than last year. A de- 

 cided call for plants, azaleas taking 

 the lead at from $2 to $3, while palms, 

 ferns, fern pans, etc., sold well at 

 good prices. 



Cut flowers also sold well, roses 

 from $2.50 to $3 per dozen; carnations 

 from $1 to .$1.50 per dozen; violets $1 

 per bunch of 25; valley, $1 per dozen; 

 Romans, 50 cents per dozen, while 

 holly and Xmas greens cleaned up 

 pretty well. The weather was all that 

 could be desired. Taking it altogether 

 it was the best Xmas in many years.
