this successfully with over half his 

 j)lace, keeping his Maryland and his 

 Stotesbury for steady cutting, with 

 some cropped for January. 



The Richmond and Prima Donna 

 houses are beautiful with quantities of 

 buds just showing color. The timing 

 has been carefully done. It looks as 

 though the crop would be off to a head 

 by New Year's day. Mr. Campbell 

 jokingly said he was going to Florida 

 if the Christmas crop sold well. He 

 certainly deserves to go. He has worked 

 hard and well; but if he should change 

 his mind — why, he can walk through 

 the greenhouses and enjoy those Rich- 

 monds and Prima Donnas. Nothing in 

 Florida could be lovelier. 



Various Notes. 



Robert A. Craig has been ill for a 

 week with bronchitis. He is rapidly re- 

 rovering. 



Sydney H. Bavorsdorfer entertained 

 the employoos of his firm, H. Bayers- 

 dorfer & Co., at dinner the evening of 

 December 23. It was a most enjoyable 

 affair, enlivened by informal speeches 

 l>y the members of the firm and the lead- 

 ing employees. There were 12.'5 present. 



.Stuart H. MilltM' has resigned from the 

 Philadelphia "Wliolcsalc Florists' Ex- 

 change. 



Charles E. Median has completed a 

 large water tank on his place at Holland. 

 Mr. Meehan is also rebuilding part of his 

 range of greenhouses. 



The M. Rice Co. successfully filled all 

 the Christmas orders it accepted, com- 

 pleting its out-of-town shipments the 

 day set, December 14, and its local de- 

 liveries December 21. It is now busy

The Market. 



Extraordinary conditions prevailed in 

 the cut flower market just before Christ- 

 mas. There was a marked scarcity of 

 stock and all that arrived was eagerly 

 cleaned up at prices far ahead of former 

 years. Growers undoubtedly held back 

 a considerable quantity of flowers, hop- 

 ing for even higher jmces, for which, 

 however, there was not much likelihood, 

 as the extremely high prices discour- 

 aged buying. Retailers pushed plants as 

 much as possible, which also advanced 

 in price, but not so much as cut flow- 

 ers. The weather was remarkably clear 

 and mild and this greatly favored the 

 plantsmen and insured the plants being 

 delivered in prime condition. 



Roses sold at from $12 per hundred 

 upward and all colors were in demand. 

 Reds ordinarily sell far above other 

 colors, but Ophelia brought as much
