dahlias and chrysanthemums to depend 

 on, while now there is nothing but roses, 

 carnations and the usual indoor stock 

 and all of these are far short of re- 

 quirements. The demand is above nor- 

 mal and the retailers are at their wits' 

 end to fill orders. This is true also of 

 the commission men; they have to take 

 care of their customers as best they 

 can with the supplies available. There 

 IS not nearly enough stock on the mar- 

 ket to go around. For funeral work the 

 stores are pushing palm leaves, galax 

 and magnolia leaves, anything to con- 

 serve cut flowers for the general trade, 

 which is getting better every day. 



From present indications this will be 

 a greenless Christmas. Today the writer 

 tried to place an order for cedar and 

 laurel roping. The best price he could 

 set was 15 cents per yard wholesale. 

 ^Wien we remember that it used to go 

 pegging at 4 cents, we can easily real- 

 ize there will not bo much used. Holly 

 IS scarce and such as is seen has no ber- 

 ries. In fact, it looks as if stock of the 

 sort the florists use at Christmas will 

 "e scarce, and at the same time the de- 

 wand will be greater than ever.

hold but one dance during the winter. 

 This will be February 22 and it promises 

 to be one of the most elaborate affairs 

 this organization ever held. The late- 

 ness of the date will prove a good thing 

 for the florists. The first dance was 

 usually held the early part of December; 

 had it been held this year at the usual 

 time it would have been impossible to 

 get flowers. We can only hope that by 

 Washington's birthday, conditions will 

 be better.

This has been a big week in Baltimore

 makes a splendid display. Meeting in 

 conjunction with the congress are the
