mand. A few late pompon chrysanthe- 

 mums are left. Orchids, violets, gar- 

 denias and other flowers give variety 

 for the buyers to select from. 



Throughout the 

 CINCINNATI Christmas holidays 



business was good. 

 Receipts were heavy and would satisfy 

 all wants. The demand from out of 

 town for stock is heavy. Excellent 

 roses may be had in fair quantities. 

 The supply, if anything, is somewhat 

 heavier than before the holidays. Car- 

 nations are also in a good supply. 

 Some poinsettias are still coming in 

 but the chances are that the cut will 

 not last many days longer. Roman hy- 

 acinths and freesia are in the market 

 and with narcissus constitute the list 

 of small bulbous offerings. Sweet peas 

 have shown considerable improvement. 

 Lily of the valley is plentiful. 



New York's second 

 NEW YORK big holiday was in 



many respects a repe- 

 tition of that a week previous. Prices 

 on most things were somewhat lower 

 and on red roses, red carnations, etc., 

 they were practically cut 50 per cent 

 for fresh material, while for the sur- 

 plus held over from Christmas "job 

 lot" figures were the only alternative. 

 Contrary to previous expectations, lily 

 of the valley was a very draggy com- 

 modity. Lilies, paper white narcissi 

 and white material generally moved 

 slow and in truth everything dragged 

 along very discouragingly until Sun- 

 day night when the demand freshened 

 up and on New Year's day a fine 

 trade was done. But the retail stores, 

 particularly those of the better class, 

 bought only "from hand to mouth" the 

 Greek stores being the only ones ap- 

 parently willing to take any risks in 

 stocking up. Quite a few chrysanthe- 

 mums are still in evidence. Buddleia 

 asiatica. orange and yellow polyanthus 

 narcissi, tulips, anemones, white lilacs, 

 double flowering peach bloom, camel- 

 lias, ericas of several species are all 

 more or less in evidence in either 

 plant or cut flower state. In fact, 

 there is very little missing at this 

 date which one is accustomed to see 

 at Easter. 



The story of New 

 PHILADELPHIA Year week is al- 

 most a repetition 

 of that for Christmas week except that 

 prices did not rule quite so high. The 

 volume of business was very large and 

 everything cleaned up well with the 

 exception of perhaps White Killarney 

 roses. Paper white narcissi and stevia 

 went better and the glut on these 

 seems now about over. 



The week following 

 ST. LOUIS Christmas saw a drop 



in the price of flowers. 

 Carnations especially fell down. Roses, 

 with the exception of pink and white 

 Killarney, sold well. Reports from 

 various sources show that in many in- 

 stances the sale in cut flowers were 

 not as good as last year. Many ob-
