NEW YORK CHRISTMAS REPORT. 

 Cut Flowers. 



Ohristmas business was good, total 

 results exceeding last year. The stock 

 most in demand ran in about the or- 

 der as herein mentioned. Gardenias 

 easily had the call with American 

 Beauties, the latter not being in heavy 

 supply; in fact some growers were off 

 crop, and the price held steady at an 

 advance over a year ago, of 20 per 

 cent. Cattleyas of the best grade 

 moved well. The cut of Richmonds 

 and Killarneys was sufBciently large to 

 supply all buyers, and the difference 

 between the lowest and top price was 

 considerable. Killarneys of extra 

 length of stem and fine flowers were 

 no exception in a supply that was 

 larger than ever before for a holiday. 

 There was only a limited supply of 

 the new roses. Bridesmaids were off 

 crop, which helped to sell other pink 

 roses. Brides were not so plentiful as 

 to become a problem as to how to dis- 

 pose of them. A light crop with some 



growers did not affect the general sup- 

 ply of carnations which were plentiful 

 ^too much so to command uniform 

 prices. Reds were In fair demand at 

 lower quotations than usual for Christ- 

 mas. In some cases averages were be- 

 low a year ago. As usual, the white 

 carnation was the poorest seller, and 

 many were left or closed out at low 

 figures. Prices ruled from 3 to 12 

 cents, and at the higher figure but few 

 were sold. Because the supply of vio- 

 lets was not particularly heavy, they 

 were generally cleaned up. The best 

 trade was not clamorous for them but 

 they have not lost all their popularity, 

 as that seems to be measured by the 

 price — 7.5c. to ?1.50. Paper Whites 

 were not so much in evidence as usual; 

 lilies a little more so. Results on 

 poinsettias were not altogether satis- 

 factory, as all of them were not dis- 

 posed of. Even with a small quantity 

 of mignonette in the market it did not 

 seem to be wanted particularly. Of 

 lily of the valley there was plentj^ — 



some very fine, most of it good and a 

 smaller proportion almost useless. 

 Hyacinths and cypripediums received 

 little notice and the call for green 

 stock was ordinary. Since Christmas 

 business is light. Bridesmaids and 

 Brides appear to be coming along a 

 little faster. 



Plants. 

 The best commentary on the Christ- 

 mas plant market is the fact that there 

 is nothing left'. Everybody cleaned out 

 — growers, wholesalers and retailers 

 alike. Conditions have never been 

 more satisfactory. Practically nothing 

 in the flowering line is left for the 

 New Year's trade but a few azaleas.
