Traffic has been 

 WASHINGTON delayed everywhere 



and even local de- 

 liveries have suffered great delay from 

 the heavy snow. Reports from the 

 retailers are to the effect that prices 

 v/ere slightly lower this "yule-tide," 

 than formerly, but from present in- 

 dications New Year's sales will more 

 than even up the balance. Despite 

 cloudy weather there was enough 

 bloom and to spare for the Christmas 

 season. All cut flowers sold readily, 

 but azaleas led by a long distance in 

 pot plants. Poinsettias moved more 

 slowly than at any previous season, 

 though they formed the chief decora- 

 tion. "With the exception of a few 

 unique baskets there were no novel- 

 ties displayed. There was an unusual 

 demand for California violets — great 

 bunches of them, set off by one cat- 

 tleya. There is an innovation, which 

 to the florist will be undesirable, viz: 

 small corsage sprays of camellias, so 

 closely resembling the "real thing" 

 that even a practiced eye has to look 

 twice before the imitation can be de- 

 tected. These have a run in Wash- 

 ington at present, but let us hope that 

 like all fakes they will be short-lived.

carnations glutted the market which 

 would have brought good prices had 

 they been put on the market three to 

 five days previous. 



Schroeter: Plant trade was exceed- 

 ingly good and started very early, in 

 fact, we were practically sold out of 

 plants by Friday noon. Roses were 

 high in price but people received qual- 

 ity equal to the price. 



Brown: Cut flowers sold better than 

 ever and roses, which it was difficult 

 to dispose of a year ago, sold easily 

 this year. 



Taepkp- Trade started at least two 

 days earlier than usual. Azaleas and 

 cyclamens were the favorites. Every- 

 thing else sold well except violets.
