double these figures; carnations, red, 

 $12 to $15; other varieties, $8 to $12; 

 violets $1.50 to $2. Next week we 

 can tell the Christmas story for "hind- 

 sight is invariably better than fore- 

 sight." 



There is nothing 

 PHILADELPHIA much of interest 

 to report on the 

 week's business (13tli to 19th). The 

 near approach of Christmas week had 

 its effect on prices which stiffened up 

 considerably. Flowers were scarce 

 and everything cleaned up well. On 

 Wednesday (the 20th) Holiday figures 

 went into force, and from all we can 

 hear they are considerably higher than 

 a year ago. This is true of plants as 

 well as cut flowers. At this writing all 

 the indications are for a very good 

 Christmas for both grower and re- 

 tailer. 



Prospects never 

 WASHINGTON looked brighter for 



an enormous 

 Christmas business than they did in 

 the early part of this week. It is ex- 

 pected that there will be just enough 

 stock of all kinds to go around. Prices 

 are high because of the general short- 

 ening up of the supply and early in the 

 week the bottom price for roses was 

 $S per hundred and from there they 

 went to almost that amount per dozen. 

 Carnations are quoted at from $S to 

 $12 per hundred and there are not 

 enough to go around, red carnations 

 being particularly scarce. There is a 

 marked shortage of orchids and they 

 will be replaced by gardenias that are 

 now being offered at $6 per dozen. Al- 

 though chrysanthemums are about 

 over with, there is still a limited 

 quantity of exceptionally fine stock at 

 $25 per hundred. There is a heavy de- 

 mand for sweet peas with the proba- 

 bility that the market will be sold out 

 early. They will be replaced by vio- 

 lets of which there is a considerable 

 quantity. Pot plants are selling very 

 well and there seem to be enough of 

 these to go around, despite the report- 

 ed shortage of azaleas and other im- 

 ported plants.
