The Market. 



Pittsburgh florists have closed a most 

 prosperous year. The Christmas trade 

 was all that was expected, from the re- 

 tailers' standpoint; all of them report 

 an excellent business. The demand for 

 plants and combination baskets was far 

 greater than ever, but these did not seem 

 to affect the demand for cut flowers. 

 Although business was drawn out on 

 account of the Sunday the day before 

 Christmas, everybody seemed busy get- 

 ting out the orders. 



The wholesalers had much trouble with 

 the express companies, which seemed to 

 be unable to handle the holiday rush. It 

 was useless to send out truck loads of 

 orders to be delivered, as the companies 

 would not accept them. The wholesalers 

 had to send it up in small lots and then 

 coax the express men to try to work 

 the shipments out for them. The same 

 trouble was experienced in getting stock 

 to the market. Everything was at least 

 twenty-four hours late. The violets 

 again suffered. These came in late De- 

 cember 23, after all the shipping busi- 

 ness was over, and disappointed many 

 out-of-town buyers. 



Stock was a little cheaper than last 

 year, but the volume of business done 

 made up for the decline in prices.
