to speak of, and everything else 

 seemed to be in sympathy. On the 

 whole it was a most unsatisfactory 

 week — with plenty of fine stock piling 

 in and no demand for it. But all are 

 hopeful today— on the commencement 

 of Christmas week — and we hope to 

 have a good report to make of next 

 Monday, after the battle is over. 

 There are plenty of fine flowers around, 

 and no scarcity is anticipated, for the 

 grand rush, in any line. You will all 

 know more about it than we do, by the 

 time this appears in print.

Flower Market Reports NEW YORK QUOTATIONS PER 100. To Dealers Only 



(Ctntinued from pagt yiO 



sale. Lily of the valley, with the ex- 

 ception of a few days in the early part 

 •of the week, was in good supply and 

 •cleaned up nicely. Poinsettias have 

 been added to the lot of miscellaneous 

 flowers. A couple of the wholesalers 

 who handle large quantities of poin- 

 settias only have them brought in on 

 orders and in most cases have them 

 delivered direct from the grower to the 

 Btoreman and find this method of hand- 

 ling them very satisfactory. Smilax, 

 plumosus and sprengeri in good supply 

 with an exceptionally good call tor 

 plumosus and sprengeri. The market 

 experienced quite a shortage ot bronze 

 galax and boxwood, there being no 

 bronze galax whatever to be had and 

 very little boxwood. A good business 

 Is being done by dealers in holly, mis- 

 tletoe and laurel wreathing. The de- 

 mand for laurel wreathing is immense 

 and the supply Is very limited. 



The usual sag preced- 

 NEW YORK ing the holiday season 



has hit the New York 

 flower market harder than ever this 

 year. For the past ten days there has 

 heen almost no call for flowers of any 

 quality, but the high-grade material 

 has been the hardest to move. The 

 question is not one of price; the goods 

 are simply not wanted. Plants and 

 "greens" of all kinds have had an ac- 

 tive market and for the time being all 

 interest in cut bloom seems to have 

 petered out. The prevailing sentiment 

 Is that there will be no scarcity of any- 

 thing for Christmas and that there 

 win be very little incentive for any 

 serious advance in prices, although up 

 to a few days ago a short supply on 

 some staple things seemed unavoidable. 

 The weather of late has been fairly 

 favorable to production. Carnations 

 are not showing promise of any heavy 

 cut, but roses are coming on in great 

 abundance and ot violets no doubt 

 there will be an avalanche, the fate of 

 which will be largely settled by the 

 sort of weather Saturday, the 24th. 

 turns out. Waiting and hoping is the 

 order of the day in the wholesale dis- 

 trict. 



From the 14th to 

 PHILADELPHIA the 19th Decem- 

 ber, the week 

 preceding the Christmas rush, (which 

 usually starts about the 20th inst.), 

 conditions of the market here were 

 anything but satisfactory. Trading 

 was sluggish in the extreme. There 

 seemed to be none of the usual ave- 

 nues of outlet in their proper working 

 order. Entertainments were few and 

 far between; there were no debutantes
