The Market. 



The past week started out with a scar- 

 city of stock, and continued dining all 

 the wtek. Carnations headed the list 

 in this respect, especially red ones, which 

 were lar short of the demand. Whites 

 were the most in evidence, but there 

 were not nearly enough of them. In 

 fancy pinks Dorothy was mast in evi- 

 dence, but Enquirer and Lawson were 

 the most sought for. There have been 

 DO changes in the prices as quoted last 

 week, except perhaps in the poorei' 

 grades. 



Roses are in fair supply, with a larger 

 jiorcenlage of good stock tlian at an'y 

 time so far this season, but many more 

 could be veiy easily dispose<l of. Some 

 extra good stock is to be seen, and it 

 brings a good price. Liberties are short- 

 ening up at jiresent. Long-stemmed 

 Beauties are in better supply and meet 

 a steady demand. 



Violets are very scarce and there is a 

 general rush for what few are to be had. 

 The best have reached $2 per 100. Val- 

 ley is scarcely equal to the demand. 

 Harrisii lilies are coming in nicely and 

 sell well. Romans and narcissus do 

 fairly well. 



There is a good supply of all kinds of 

 green goods and there is a good dlemaud 

 for it. Asparagus Sprengeri goes espec- 

 ially well. Leucothoe sprays and ilex 

 berries will be features of many holidaj' 

 dworations this winter. 



^V^ had a real touch of winter last 

 Sunday night, when the thermometer 



went down to 8 degrees above zero, with 

 the wind blowing almost a gale. 



Various Items. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Society will be held Saturday evening, 

 Dec. l":Uh. A good nu^'ting i* expected. 



Frank Hunt-man had a narrow escape 

 from losing his home and greenhouses 

 by fire. It started in an out-building 

 and for a while looked veny threatening, 

 but was extinguished after a loss of 

 about $100. 



K. A. Kelly reports business very good, 

 e: pecially in the holiiJay decoration line. 



Jim Allan has returned from Boston, 

 after a long visit with relatives. 



W. Jlurpiiy has about 00.000 cuttings 

 of JIurphy's White carnations already 

 in the sand, with most of them root<>d. 

 tie IS making the first shipment of them 

 this week. 



li.untsman & Co. are cutting some very 

 nice poinsettias. 



James Hartshorne, of Joliet, 111., was 

 in town last Saturday and accompanied 

 by R. Witterstaetter. called upon the car- 

 nation men of the city. 



I regret greatly to report the death 

 of the wife of John Ijodder, the well- 

 known florist of Hamilton, Ohio. Her 

 death, which occurred Sunday afternoon, 

 although expected for several days, was 

 nevertheless a gi-eat shock to the family. 

 The funeral services were held Wednes- 

 day morning, at St. Joseph's church. 

 The entire craft joins in deep smpathy 

 for the bereaved family. 



Visitors were: Martin Reukauf. of 

 Philadelphia ; Miss White, of Lexington, 

 Ky. ; James Hartshorne. of Joliet, 111.

A CHRISTMAS VERSE. 



Again ilr. Hartman. of New York, has 

 been overshadowed by the spirit of 

 poesy, and here is the result: 

 TbankspivlnK we've not forgotten, that da.v of 



turkey and pie. 

 And the holl.v from Bradshaw & Hartman that 



greeted the passers-b.v. 

 We thought we had enough to supply the Thanks- 



fjiving demand. 

 But it was a case of telegraph to keep a few od 



hand. 

 Again the "Old Dominion" will come laden to 



tile brim. 

 And the XXXX holly for B. & H. will keep us 



in the swim. 

 Satisfaction we will give you, and the glad band 



and good cheer. 

 So to von all a Merry Christmas and a very happy 



year. 



The Foley Mfg. Co., Chicago, has is- 

 sued a very attractive and helpful cata- 

 logue of their greenhouse construction 

 material. There are several half tone 

 engravings of ranges of greenhouses 

 erected with their material and numer- 

 ous drawings showing sections of houses 

 of various styles, together with details 

 of the various parts. Tlie frontispiece 

 consists of a combination of snap shot 

 photographs taken by Mr. Foley at the 

 convention at Asheville last August. 



W'liY NOT establish closer relations 

 with your employes by making them 

 Christmas presents this year? And if 

 you do, you cannot find anything that 

 will be so acceptable and of so much 

 mutual benefit as copies of the Florists' 

 Manual, by Wm. Scott.
