BERLIN, ONT. 



The holiday season in tliis lively lit- 

 tle town was pretty brisk, but this be- 

 ing a first experience I cannot com- 

 pare it with former years. Much more 

 ■could have been sold no doubt it" prices 

 of cut flowers had not ranged so high, 

 but I do believe that the people did 

 their little best. In these country 

 towns, however lively they may be, 

 there are very few people who will 

 pay over $1,50 a doz, for roses or 60 

 cents for carnations, and one has to 

 handle a lot of stock to make much 

 money when the wholesalers charge 

 $10 and $4 for No, 2. One customer in- 

 quired through the 'phone the price of 

 American Beauties, and after giving 

 her the reply a dull thud was heard 

 as if she had fallen on the floor in a 

 dead faint. Finally she so far recov- 

 ered as to be able to call up again and 

 order three Meteors at 15 cents. An- 

 other, on being told that roses were 

 $1.50 a dozen, took a D, Perle azalea 

 at $1.25, and was convinced that she 

 had more for her money than if she 

 had taken roses. 



The sale of plants will undoubtedly 

 increase largely at this time unless 

 the price of cut stuff comes down. I 

 am not finding fault with the whole- 

 sale men; it is a case of supply and 

 demand, and we should all do the 

 same thing in their shoes. I simply 

 state the facts of the matter. 



Another florist has just started in 

 Berlin; it is a boy, the son of Harry 

 McNaughton, foreman at Rosehurst 

 conservatories. He started about 5 a. 

 m. on the 6th inst. 



PITTSBURG, PA.— Mr. A. F. J.

HARTFORD, CONN. — Fire did 

 about $1,000 damage to the green- 

 houses of Jolin Coombs January 3. 

 The fire started from a lighted pipe a 

 careless workman left in his coat 

 when he went to dinner.
