DEm^ER. COLO. 



Christmas trade was far ahead of pre- 

 vious years and the demand was lor 

 choice stock without regard to price. 

 In roses, Beauties sold from $i to $20 

 per dozen; Liberty, $0 to $7 ; Bride and 

 Bridesmaid, $3 to •$•>; carnations, $1 to 

 $2. As all the florists laid in large sup- 

 plies and there was noUiing left over, 

 they are consequently happy and several 

 embryo millionaires are to be seen 

 around town, in addition to those that 

 were here. 



Emil Glauber's stock of roses was 

 especially fine, and the carnations from 

 Benson took the cake, no one else com- 

 ing near to him. 



At the Park Floral everything is in 

 fine shape under the supcrvisiim of the 

 new foreman, .Tolin Skedd. The finest 

 cyclamens in the city, one plant being 

 sold for .$8, and, by the way, 

 that reminds me of a bet that John 

 Berry, that veteran florist, made that 

 a certain cyclamen plant would not have 

 100 perfect flowers out at one time, 

 John won out on the ])erfect flower 

 proposition, as it had the 100 flowers 

 and more, all right, but he claimed 

 enough were not quite perfect to win. 

 John is canny if not a Scotchman. 



J. A. Valentine is improving, though 

 he does not get out very much yet. 



The Park Foral Co,'s store windows 

 were, as usual under Phil Scott, the 

 attraction of the street. One was in 

 Christmas red, a large wreath of poin- 

 settias and red flowers and the other in 

 pink with azaleas, etc. The firm did an 

 immense business. Tiiorxe. 



WiciiiT.A., Kan,— \V. H, Gulp & Co., 

 report Christmas trade as slightly larger 

 than last year, Roses were mostly 

 shipped in stock and were not of quite so 

 good quality as last year. Flowering 

 plants sohl well, decorative plants going 

 slowly. Bulbous stock was in fair de- 

 mand' onlv, the supply lieing equal to 

 the demand. Holly sold well. Mistletoe 

 was fine and retailed at 20 cents a 

 pound. Taken altogether it was a 

 fairly satisfactory holiday season. 



Springfield, 0. — The greenhouses of 

 Charles Unglaub were damaged by fire 

 (0 the extent of $800 on Jan. 4. The 

 damage to contents will bring the total 

 loss up to $2, .500, with no insurance. He 

 will not attempt to rebuild until spring, 



Chester, Pa. — Jordan Cavener, the 

 well-known landscape gardener and flor- 

 ist, has made the hearts of his em- 

 ployes glad, and their feet warm, by 

 presenting each with a .shining $5 gold 

 piece and an order for a pair of shoes.
