was another unfortunate. Mignonette 

 for a minor subject was really up to a 

 higher point in importance than v,'e 

 can remember. The gardenia and the 

 eattleya set oft with a bit of Farleyense 

 were favorite subjects among the 

 higher aristocracy and a great trade 

 was done in these. Behind the scenes,' 

 however, we find the crops larger than 

 the market could absorb, especially in 

 cattelyas. But the cattelya is a good 

 keeper and so there is no break as to 

 prices. Cypripediums, cattelyas, and 

 other orchids were never finer. As- 

 paragus was far too abundant, thv3 

 growers of these items being hard to 

 hold back from the holiday excitement 

 which is not for them particularly. A 

 bright particular spot in the market 

 was held by ease holly and boxwood — 

 also lycopodium and laurel wreathing. 

 All that class of stock sold very well, 

 barring possibly mistletoe. Poinsettia 

 was a leader in the plant market, made 

 up dwarf with ferns, but the market 

 for cut poinsettias was mismana.%od 

 and at the wind-up swamped! Lor- 

 raine begonia and the cyclamens were 

 great favorites. Ardisias and ericas 

 came mostly from Julius Roehrs. 

 The local growers seem to neglect 

 these leading subjects. Those who 

 wanted a cheap berried plant had to be 

 satisfied with a solanum. Oranges 

 were poorly fruited and not nicely cxA- 

 ored this year and of course the trade 

 in these was limited. Boston and Whit- 

 man ferns went well. Dracaena termi- 

 nalis was a strong favorite. Tree holly, 

 Box, dwarf firs, and such stock wer3 

 conspicuous everywhere. The demand 

 for these while only moderate was sat- 

 isfactory. All told, while this year has 

 not shown such a rip-roaring halcyon 

 and vociferous balance sheet as the 

 1906 holiday, it was much better than 

 the pessimists expected. We are 

 pleased to report smiling faces in Phil- 

 adelphia this Christmas morning and 

 hope our brothers elsewhere have had 

 the same good fortune.

The Christmas sea- 

 WASHINGTON son was ushered in 



with the usual bus- 

 tle and business-like air. Eveo' store 

 is in holiday attire, being bright with 

 poinsettias, holly and evergreen of 

 every variety. Everything has been 

 selling readily especially smaller 

 plants, though the prices are by no 

 means up to the standard of former 

 years. Almost continued rainy weather 

 for the past two weeks has thrown 

 persons back in their buying and the 

 consequence is, that every available 

 clerk is rushed. An epidemic of colds 

 and grip has lessened the force in near- 

 ly every store in the city. Everywhere 

 the sidewalks are loaded with Christ- 

 mas trees and small ornamental 

 trees for decorating. It has been 

 stated on authority that never before 

 has there been such a demand for green 

 of all kinds, from the small wreath to 

 the largest tree. Full report on the 

 cut flower trade will be made next 

 week
