The Market. 



Business as a whole is fair. Deco- 

 rative and Christmas supply lines are 

 busy, but the flower market is only 

 fair. The shipping trade is good. 



Boses of all kinds are in excellent 

 supply. The choice grades, however, 

 are not selling so well as the shorter 

 ones. Carnations, too, are in excellent 

 supply and Easter lilies and callas are 

 plentiful. Receipts of Paper White 

 narcissi are fair and the stock meets a 

 good market. The supply of double vio- 

 lets is equal to present needs; the sin- 

 gles generally sell readily. Valley, or- 

 chids and sweet peas have enjoyed a 

 good demand. Stevia sells satisfactor- 

 ily. The supply of greens of all kinds 

 and Christmas material is large. 



Various Notes. 



The William Murphy Co. has been 

 marketing a considerable quantity of 

 holly for the holiday trade. 



C. E. Critchell's boxwoods and red 

 berries last week experienced a heavy 

 demand. 



J. A. Peterson & Sons have an ex- 

 cellent lot of Mrs- J. A. Peterson, 

 Melior and Cincinnati begonias, as well 

 as cyclamens.

The Market. 



Business has slowed up a bit and 

 prices have stiffened. Boses are scarce, 

 except White Killarney, and short cuts 

 are almost unobtainable. Beauties 

 range in price from $1.50 to $6 per 

 dozen; other roses sell at $4 to $10 per 

 hundred. Mums have left us and car- 

 nations are becoming more plentiful and 

 make $3 and $4 per hundred. The de- 

 mand for valley has weakened and the 

 stock is none too good. Sweet peas ar- 

 rive and find ready buyers. Orchids 

 again are sky-high in price. Violets sell 

 well, including the single California 

 stock. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Bowling Club held a 

 well attended meeting at the Broadway 

 alleys December 7. Philip Scott, of 

 Buffalo, one of the visitors, has entered 

 the employ of the Atlas Floral Co. M. 

 Bloy was a star bowler. He brought 

 some choice mums from Guenther's, in 

 western "New York, and F. Pautke had 

 some new pompons on display. Decem- 

 ber 14 captains were elected, followed 

 by bowling.
