 a happy and prosperous New Year and ■will be glad to see them, one and all, at any time, at

WINONA, MINN, 



Christmas sales were far ahead of 

 fcinier years. We consider our own 

 sales to have been 150 per cent higher 

 than any previous year, mainly due to 

 the fact that we have this year opened 

 a tiower store in the heart of the city in 

 connection with our greenhouses. 



Roses brought from $1 to $2; carna- 

 tions, fancy, $1 to $1.25; poinsettias. 

 25 cents each ; chrysanthemums, $2 to 

 $3: violets. $1.50 per 100, Bulb stuff 

 did not sell very well. 



In flowering plants we sold any quan- 

 tity of azaleas, begonias, cyclamens, 

 primulas, peppers. Boston ferns, hya- 

 cintlis and narcissus. As we always 

 trim the pots before selling, they take 

 very well. 



Holly and green were cleared by nonn, 

 Dec. 24, and no more could be had. We 

 may also mention that an advertisement 

 of holly wreaths, made by ourselves, 

 wliich we put in a local paper, brought 

 us three hundred and seventy-one sales 

 at from 25 cents to $2 each, while other 

 years not a dozen were sold.

WARNING. 



A young man giving his name as 

 Charles Deuvall, who claimed to have 

 worked for the Gasser Co.. of Cleveland, 

 and ililler & Sons, of Toronto, while 

 working for me mailc a few small col- 

 lections without turning in any money, 

 and in other ways cheated me out of a 

 small amount with which he was trust- 

 ed, — in all perhaps $15 or $20. 



He also ransacked the boarding house 

 where he staid, but was caught at it and 

 nuide to disgorge, but for some reason 

 not turned over to the police. 



He is about 21 years old, sandy com- 

 plexion, blue eyes, about 5 feet 8 inches 

 liigh. weight about 145 to 150 pounds, 

 and speaks with a Canadian accent. He 

 is a heavy cigarette smoker. A chance 

 remark leads me to believe that he 

 served time in a penal instituion for 

 about six months making twine.

East Toledo, O., Dec. 26. 1902. 



NORTH ADAMS, MASS. 



Christmas trade was first-class. Cut 

 flowers and flowering plants sold well. 

 Florists nearly all sold out at good 

 prices. 



Coal is very scarce and prices are 

 soaring; $14.00 for anthracite and $9.00 

 for bituminous, and the latter can 

 only be purchased from the city author- 

 ities in ton lots. Florists who come out 

 even at the end of the season will be 

 doing well. D.
