Christmas Trade. 



The Christmas trade in flowers and 

 plants was the largest of any yet. 

 Choice plants beautifully trimmed with 

 Porto Kican matting or handsome bas- 

 kets filled with plants were in the lead 

 and in much demand. The call for Beau- 

 ties was great, and as there were not 

 enough grown here for the demand, a 

 good many were shipped in. Of other 

 flowers there was a good supply, such 

 as roses, carnations, poinsettia. etc. The 

 poinsettia being such a brilliant Christ- 

 mas flower undoubtedly attracts more 

 attention than any of the others, es- 

 pecially at this time of the year, for the 

 roses and carnations we have always, 

 but these, like the New Year's good res- 

 olutions, come but once a year. As an 

 example of their brilliancy one should 

 have seen the window of the Park Floral 

 store one evening just before Christ- 

 mas, when it was given up entirely to 

 the poinsettia, and it was no wonder 

 that the throng bent on sight-seeing 

 and holiday buying would stop and gaze 

 at them. 



The Colfax Floral Co. say they cut 

 over 10,000 carnation blooms for Christ- 

 mas, and with their immense trade it 

 kept the boys hustling to keep up with 

 their orders, and the foreman. Bob 

 Kient, lost twenty-five pounds in three 

 days. 



The plants of azaleas and cyclamen 

 as shown in Denver this year were far 

 ahead of any previous year and sold 

 rapidly at from $2 to $()"each. All the 

 florists were worked hard, had plenty of 

 stock, sold out everything and are con- 

 sequently happy. TnoRNE. 



HOWARD'S STAR PETUNIAS. 



I was pleased to sec in the last issue 

 of the Review your note about this pe- 

 tunia. It is a beautiful thing. I have 

 grown it for two years, and I find it 

 does well in a light soil and slightl.v 

 shaded. Also I find a little care must 

 be exercised in selecting plants for stock, 

 owing to its sportive character.

[The engraving in last issue was a 

 serious disappointment and did not do 

 justice to the subject. It must have 

 been a very imperfect electrotype to 

 show up so poorly. — Ed.]
