Christmas Trade. 



Christmas came in very cold. Tlie 

 thermometer stood 16 degrees above 

 zero. Nevertheless Christmas trade 

 showed a small increase over last year. 

 The chief call was for red flowers. Amer- 

 ican Beauties sold at $12 per dozen, 

 Maids and Brides from $2 to $2.50 a 

 dozen. Carnations, extra select stock, 

 brought $1 a dozen; seconds, 75 cents 

 a dozen; Romans and narcissus from 75 

 cents to $1 a dozen. Blooming plants, 

 such as very large Gloire de Lorraine 

 begonias brought from $2.50 to $3 each. 

 Some very fine plants of cyclamens were 

 seen in the different stores and sold well. 

 In Christmas greens there was not 

 enough to go around — all cleaned out. 

 Taken all around it was satisfactory, 

 considering the cold snap which came 

 so unexpectedly. 



Jacob Schulz made a very handsome 

 display in his show window. It con- 

 sisted of three very large marriage bells 

 made of red immortelles and contained 

 some very fine ])]ants of Begonia Gloire 

 de Lorraine and orange plants bearing 

 some fine fruit, which were admired 

 very mvich. 



V. Walker & Co. report a veiy heavy 

 Christmas trade this year. 



Xanz & Neuner Co. made a beautiful 

 clis]day at their store of cut flowers 

 and blooming plants, having some very 

 fine blooms of cut chrysanthemums, 

 which found a ready sale. 



Jlrs. Chas. Rayner came in also for a 

 large share of trade, having some very 

 fine ferns and palms, which sold at 

 sight. 



Mrs. Chas. Reimers made a beautiful 

 display at her store and was kept busy 

 getting out orders. 



Mrs. C. B. Thompson reports a larger 

 Xnuis trade than last year. 



.rose])h Coenen & Co. had all they 

 could do to get' their ferns and palms, 

 in which they had a good trade, deliv- 

 ered in the city. 



Mr. John Bohrman and his bride have 

 returned from an extended wedding trip, 

 having taken in New York, Philadelphia 

 and Washington. .John advises every 

 old bachelor to get married. 



Wishing the Frx)Ri.STs' Review a pros- 

 perous and happy New Year, I will 



close. H. LiCIITEFELl). 



Marquette, Mich. — ^The Stafford 

 Greenhouses were danwged by fire the 

 morning of Dec. 23, the ofiico. potting 

 slied and boiler room being totally de- 

 stroyed. The grconhouses were only 

 sliglitly damaged and the stock was 

 saved. The insurance docs not wholly 

 cover the loss. The burned portion of the 

 pstaldishment will lie rebuilt at once. 

 Tlie fire came at a very unfortunate 

 time and interfered seriously with the 

 Christmas trade.
