The Market. 



The month of December was one of 

 the coldest Decembers on record in this 

 part of the state. But the cold and 

 snow heightened the Christmas spirit, 

 and there was a good crop of cut flowers 

 of all kinds. Eoses were plentiful for 

 the holiday, with the quality extra 

 good, a decided contrast to what the 

 quality had been most of the summer 

 and fall. I doubt if there ever were so 

 many good Russell roses on this market 

 as during December; and other varieties 

 were equally good. 



Azaleas were on the short side and 

 most of them not of the best quality. 

 Most of the azaleas eame in late and in 

 bad condition. Some of the growers had 

 to run them as high as 100 degrees dur- 

 ing the day and 90 at night to get them 

 in, but they came in and cleaned up 

 nicely. The poinsettias were of good 

 quality, but they were all sold out long 

 before the demand was over, possibly 

 because of the shortage in azaleas. 

 Roman hyacinths were scarce and -their 

 quality was not up to the standard, yet 

 they sold out early. Made-up baskets 

 and boxes sold out before I had a chance 

 to see many of them. Two days before 

 Christmas I made the rounds of the 

 stores, and in the end asked why they 

 had not made up the usual baskets, etc. 

 I was then informed that the usual num- 

 ber had been prepared, but that the de- 

 mand had been so heavy that they were 

 all sold. 



The holiday trade this year undoubt- 

 edly was the heaviest ever known in the 

 city. Everyone told the same story, of 

 selling out everything salable before 

 the demand was satisfied. This partly 

 may have been because the local supply 

 of holly was practically a failure. There 

 usually are 100 wagons selling holly and 

 mistletoe every day for a week or more 

 before Christmas. This year I saw but 

 two wagons, and they were poorly loaded 

 and quickly emptied. Undoubtedly this 

 helped the florists, for when buyers were 

 disappointed at the market they went 

 to the florists, paid a fair price and in 

 the end were better satisfied. Novelties 

 were scarce; about the only unusual arti- 

 cles observed were some beautifully 

 made boxes and baskets of Easter lilies 

 and poinsettias, with the proper greens. 

 The combination certainly was a hand- 

 some one and the public appreciated it 

 by buying them like hot cakes.

Various Notes. 



Haury & Sons say they were more 

 than pleased with the season's business. 



At Geny Bros.', the Saturday night 

 before Christmas, most of the plants 

 were sold out and the cut flowers were 

 running short. They had the best Rus- 

 sell roses I have ever seen in this mar- 

 ket. They had a heavy cut of violets, 

 and a few good mums that sold readily. 

 Their azaleas were excellent. 



The Joy Floral Co. had an exception- 

 ally large supply of flowers of all kinds 



and the store was as busy as a beehive 

 at swarming time. This firm's supply 

 of azaleas perhaps was the largest in the 

 city, but some of the plants were not 

 quite ready for Christmas, having ar- 

 rived too late. Nevertheless they all 

 sold when the better stock was gone. 

 Joy's roses were excellent but the best 

 of the cut flowers were some unusually 

 good sweet peas and valley. I have 

 never seen better peas than those cut 

 by Joy's for the holiday trade. 



I unfortunately was prevented from 

 '.seeing the Mclntyre Floral Co. stock at
