The Market. 



The Christmas business was the larg- 

 est and, on the whole, the most satisfac- 

 tory this market has ever had. The 

 weather was clear but cold, the tempera- 

 ture ranging below zero most of the time. 

 Complaints on the part of customers 

 were few, as the retailers had two days 

 in which to make up and deliver stock. 



Blooming plants and made-up baskets 

 were the principal lines sold. Cyela' 

 mens, begonias and poinsettias were the 

 leaders and some exceptionally fine 

 stock was offered. Eetailers suggested 

 plants to their customers, as they did not 

 want to scare them with the high prices 

 of cut flowers. As a consequence only a 

 few cut flowers were sold — speaking 

 comparatively. Baskets filled with 

 plants were sold in quantities. The 

 business done in this line \\'a3 beyond 

 expectations. The demand for corsage 

 bouquets also was heavy. 



Cut stock was plentiful and prices re- 

 mained about as usual during the holi- 

 days, except for carnations, which were 

 much lower than last year because of 

 the large local production. Paper 

 Whites were in strong supply, but 

 cleared in a large number of funeral or- 

 ders. Wedding decorations were numer- 

 ous and table and hotel decorations kept 

 the market cleaned up. 



From across the state line comes the 

 report that the holiday trade there was 

 better than ever. Ample preparations 

 were made and everything sold well. 

 Holly wreaths and trees found a good 

 market. Retailers were satisfied with 

 the way orders went out, though much 

 difficulty was experienced with out-of- 

 town orders. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel Murray reports business all he 

 could expect. He sold everything on 

 hand. 



Arthur Newell reports an increase of 

 twenty-two per cent in business for the 

 holidays. Potted plants and baskets 

 were the leaders. Poinsettias, begonias 

 and cyclamens sold well. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. made large 

 preparations for the holiday trade, but 

 even at that fell short of the demands 

 in everything they had. The quality of 

 the plants and cut flowers was the best 

 ever produced for the holidays. This 

 concern had many orders for decora- 

 tions. 



The Oakwood Floral Co. had a large 

 quantity of fine sweet peas with long 

 stems; also some extra fine carnations. 



The Alpha Floral Co. reports trade 

 better than ever. "Couldn't take care 

 of all the business; sold out completely," 

 was the report. A new ribbon case, 

 2Gx60x66, will be installed soon.
