MERRY CHRISTMAS 



is the result of a long series of seedling crosses, beginning 

 with Beacon and Victory. It comes with long and always 

 strong stems early, and the bloom never appears sleepy. It 

 is an all-season scarlet and always high-grade, never splitting 

 the calyx and never off color. Come and see it growing. 



December and early January delivery all sold. 

 Booking orders now for Jan. 15th and later.

PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



There never before was so much 

 Christmas green sold as this year. The 

 demand was greater than the supply 

 and prices ruled considerably higher 

 than ever before. Poinsettias, ardisias, 

 begonias and other bright-berried and 

 blooming plants found ready sale at 

 good prices, while cut flowers were al- 

 most a luxury, because of the difficulty 

 in securing sufficient quantities and the 

 usual qualities. Eoses, carnations and bou- 

 vardiaa formed the principal items; then 

 came Easter lilies, stevias, Paper Whites, 

 orchids and violets. Funeral work has 

 continued heavy and the social calendar 

 contains numerous functions that augur 

 well for a busy period of decorative 

 work. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel Kesnick, with Joseph E. Kop- 

 pelman & Co., is still in the Homeopathic 

 hospital suffering from complications 

 following a severe cold. 



Mrs. M. Max has returned from a two 

 months' business trip to San Francisco. 



Lewis H. Meader, Jr., is manager of 

 the L. H. Meader Co. establishment at 

 75 Westminster street. 



T. J. Johnston & Co. are preparing to 

 move in the next few days to their new 

 store on Washington street. 



Some of the finest and largest poin- 

 settias seen in this market were produced 

 by Thoinas Curley, of Harkness street. 



W. H. M. 



Columbia City, Ind.— The City Gar- 

 dens and the Wagoner Floral Co. have 

 joined in establishing a flower store in 

 the Linvill building. The two parties 

 interested evidently decided to club to- 

 gether and split fifty-fifty. 



Paulding, O. — Fred. Hawkins said: 

 "Business has been the best ever here; 

 sold out of everything, and the best of it 

 was my carnations were fine, with the 

 plants hanging full of flowers — the best 

 crop I ever had for Christmas. I had 

 no trouble getting $1.50 to $2 for carna- 

 tions and $2.50 to $10 for roses. Pot 

 plants sold on sight. All I had to do 

 was to wash the pots clean and if the 

 plants had a flower on them, they sold."
