H. E. Reimers says he will have plenty 

 of potted poinsettias, peppers, primulas, 

 geraniums and cyclamens, but that there 

 will be no cut flowers for the trade. He 

 expects good business, however, as the 

 market in general is especially short 

 on some of these items. R. W. N.

The Market. 



The supply continues far short of 

 needs and stock for Christmas un- 

 doubtedly will be far from what might 

 be used if it were available. The plants- 

 men have done well for the holidays; in 

 fact, they had about sold out all of 

 their blooming plants by the middle of 

 the month, while decorative plants of 

 all kinds, and particularly ferns, have 

 been moving well. Prices continue high. 



The supply of roses is small and there 

 are not nearly enough to take care of 

 the wants of regular buyers in the mar- 

 ket. Warm weather during the last 

 week brought in a good cut of carna- 

 tions for Christmas and they are help- 

 ing wonderfully. Easter lilies are in 

 fair supply. Some excellent callas 

 may be had. Poinsettias are plentiful 

 and sell well. Stevia cleans up nicely. 

 The few snapdragons available sell 

 quickly. Violets, both double and sin- 

 gle, meet with a good demand. Lily of 

 the valley and orchids are in demand. 

 Among other offerings are sweet peas. 

 Paper White narcissi, calendulas, for- 

 get-me-nots and baby primroses. A few 

 chrysanthemums continue to come into 

 the market from time to time. Greens 

 are selling well. 



Various Notes, 



J. A. Peterson & Sons had sold their 

 entire supply of plants for Christmas 

 by the first week of this month. The 

 stock of begonias and cyclamens was 

 the finest they ever have had.

Tbe Market. 



The weather of the last week has been 

 wonderful for producing stock, having 

 been nearly that of the week before 

 last Easter, mild, with no snow and 

 plenty of sunshine. The market was 

 active for winter greens and holly. 

 Prices were steady and better than last 

 year. It was easy also to get increased 

 prices at retail. If only the market 

 could have obtained all the flowers it 

 could have taken care of 1 The supply

of plants was good, but the stock was 

 medium and low grade. Fancy plants 

 were scarce. There was a great demand 

 for cherry plants. The improved va- 

 riety, Cleveland, has revived its popu- 

 larity. 



Cut flowers showed the effects of the 

 sunny days. Roses were 100 per 

 cent better; carnations had better 

 stems and flowers. Stevia came in good 

 supply and greens were plentiful. Car- 

 nations held steadily all the week at 

 from $8 to $15 per hundred. F. P. A. 



Buffalo, N. Y. — Robert Scott, speaking 

 for the William Scott Co., says business 

 is the best ever known, the sales for the 

 first twelve days in December this year 

 being exactly 101 per cent larger than 

 those of the same days last year.
