 ii'"» whal we did in St Louis this 

 busj Christmas wees but from Un 

 ports up 10 noon Monday, Dec. 25th, 

 from all the leading Borists aboul town 

 it appears that they all were 

 —in fact, had all they could do to 

 out their many orders for deli 

 The weather was flne and di Ij 

 was ias\. Prices (in cut flowers were 

 high, both wholesale and retail, and 

 the bulk of tin' trade was In plants, 

 especially out in the West End where 

 they are all sold out ol plains. Poin- 

 settias, cyclamen and azaleas sold bet- 

 ter than any thing ids.' in this line 

 We can safely say that Christmas this 

 year was fully up to expectations. The 

 wholesale markets had a great lot of 

 stock of all kinds and it cleaned out 

 well and early. A great cut of violets 

 came in from the Klrkwood growers, 

 with price less than at any Christmas 



before; not over $10.00 per ! lid 



Californias bring with none left over 

 as usual winn high prices prevailed. 

 Carnations went as high as $s per 100 

 for fancy reds, very scarce. Roses 

 went up to $25 in i 100 tor fancj 

 stock an I none Bold under Jii for 

 shorts Beauties were scarce at $1."" 

 each. In bulb stock the market was 

 loaded down, and the demand was 

 light. There is good promise for a 

 bit; New Year's trade. 



It seems to be the 

 WASHINGTON opinion of all that 



the holiday week 

 was ih. mo t successful ever ezperl

tiling in the way nt cut Mowers and 



blooming plants was cleaned up with 

 the possible exception a white 



narcissus and a few poinsettlas, the 

 former a drug on the market, the lat- 

 ter very plentiful, and Easter lilies, 

 which are somewhat out of place at 

 ibis season of the year. The weather 

 was quite warm during the entire 

 week, which made it very advantage- 

 ous for the muni i to handle his plants 

 and the retailer to deliver the goods. 

 There was a very heavy supply of 

 blooming azaleas and begonias and 

 made-up pans of combinations of dra- 

 cenas, heather, crotons, etc., all of 

 which sold remarkably well. While 

 it rained continuously for three or 

 four days and all day long on Sunday, 

 this condition proved to be a benefit 

 rather than a detriment in that it
