The Christmas trade at Ottawa may 

 be descrilied, generally speaking, as be- 

 ing quite up to expectations, and on the 

 whole satisfactory. The weather favored 

 trade of all descriptions, and the florists' 

 line was not behind others in profiting 

 by this advantage. Some fine stock was 

 shown ; and prices necessarily high un- 

 der existing conditions, cheerfully paid 

 for choice Boral goods suited to holiday 

 requirements. A. C. T. 



JIadison, Wis. — ^^"icto^ Wayman re- 

 ports Christmas trade as very good. 

 Plants in bloom sold well, such as Azal- 

 eas, Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, cycla- 

 men, etc.. but no call for palms or large 

 .specimens of ferns. Small Boston ferns 

 (4-inch size) sold fairly well, also as- 

 paragus. Had a cold .time delivering, 

 with the thermometer down nearly to 

 zero. Roses were poor and there was 

 little demand for them. Carnations, as 

 usual, sold well. 



Trenton, X. J. — Tlie twenty -eighth 

 annual meeting of the New Jersey State 

 Horticultural Society will be held here 

 January 7 'and 8 at the State House.
