jected to the increased prices. The re- 

 tailers will in the future realize that 

 100 per cent, profit cannot always be 

 expected. The public want flowers at 

 reasonable prices. What is needed is 

 a more uniform price for flowers 

 throughout the year. The express 

 company refused all perishable freight 

 on Dec. 24, owing to the freight block- 

 ade. Mistletoe arrived late and frozen 

 and was a total loss. 



The coming of 

 WASHINGTON Christmas on Mon- 

 day, making it in 

 reality spread over a period of three 

 days from a commercial standpoint, en- 

 abled the florists of Washington to do 

 the largest business in the history of 

 the trade here. The balmy weather 

 was also a great aid at this time for 

 it enabled the making of deliveries un- 

 hampered by cold and storm as has 

 been the case in previous years. Every- 

 thing sold up well. Roses brought 

 high prices and there was no dicker- 

 ing in connection with the sales. Car- 

 nations moved in large quantities. 

 Gardenias were in fair demand. Or- 

 chids were high. The sale of lily of 

 the valley was held down by the high 

 prices for the retailers found it im- 

 possible to get $1.50 and $2.00 per 

 dozen sprays as was necessary in order 

 to handle the goods at a profit. Poin- 

 settias, begonias, cyclamen and narcis- 

 sus in pots brought good prices and 

 the demand was quite heavy.
