Counter sales show a 

 DETROIT rapid falling oft, which 

 is an annual occurrence 

 near holidays. Orders for receptions, 

 etc., are coming in as usual. Every- 

 body is busy getting ready for Xmas 

 and everybody expects at least the 

 same as last year, in fact signs are 

 many which point for a better trade. 



Azaleas ard cyclamens are plentiful 

 and in good shape; the same may also 

 be said of poinsettias in pot or cut. 



The Pittsburgh retail 

 PITTSBURGH men admit an im- 

 provement in busi- 

 ness. The shops are looking their 

 best just now. all of them being filled 

 with beautiful ferns, begonias, primu- 

 las and a general assortment of season- 

 able stock. Retailers all declare that 

 they are going to cut out high-priced 

 flowers and sell plants. But all the 

 same it is safe to say that if they see 

 an opportunity to sell a box of flow- 

 ers on which the profit will be three 

 times what it would be on the plants 

 they will not be likely to force the 

 plant sale very hard for the time being. 

 There is plenty of room for the plants 

 but the necessity for the cut flowers 

 still exists and buyers will be in the 

 market for them, however reluctantly.

CHRISTMAS PLANT SUPPLY IN 

 NEW YORK. 



Retailers all anticipate a very good 

 holiday plant trade, and are buying 

 accordingly. Flowering stock as it ap- 

 pears up to present time is hardly up 

 to the standard of last year in quan- 

 tity or quality, but everything in sight 

 is being eagerly taken up. Poinsettias, 

 contrary to earlier indications, will 

 prabably run scarce, as will also cycla- 

 mens and heather. Of Lorraine be- 

 gonias, azaleas and ardesias there will 

 be plenty for everybody. Plenty of 

 primroses but quality only medium.
