The Market. 



Dark, rainy weather the last two days 

 of the week threatened to shorten up the 

 supply of stock for Christmas, but the 

 sun shone December 22 and the growers 

 were more hopeful of having good cuts 

 for the holiday. There was a great 

 shortage of flowers for Christmas, but 

 the supply of plants was better and 

 promised to take care of all orders. 

 Prices of " cut flowers continue high. 

 Funeral work still is heavy. 

 Various Notes. 



The William Blackman Floral Co. had 

 a good cut of carnations for Christmas, 

 but not many roses. The supply of 

 plants was large, although advance or- 

 ders took nearly all of them before 

 the holiday. George Blackman said that 

 he would not buy roses because of the 

 high prices, but would push carnations 

 and plants instead. Walter Blackman 

 has returned to a training camp at Waco, 

 Tex., after a furlough of fifteen days. 



C. L. Niednagel had his crop of Rus- 

 sell, Ophelia, Columbia, Milady and Kil- 

 larney roses just right for Christmas 

 and had good cuts. 



Niednagel & Sons had a good supply 

 of carnations in for Christmas. Several 

 benches of Nebraska are exceptionally 

 fine. They had a large batch of poin- 

 settias, while there was a fair supply 

 of sweet peas, stevia, calendulas and 

 bouvardias. 



M. C. Lockyear had excellent flower- 

 ing plants, ferns and Asparagus Spren- 

 geri for the holiday. 



Karl Zeidler has returned from a 

 hunting trip to Mississippi. The weather 

 was fine and game abundant. His rose 

 cut for Christmas was small, but he was 

 long on carnations. Fred Zeidler, who 

 is in the navy, is expected home by New 

 Year's day. 



Theodore Kuebler had a nice lot of 

 Christmas plants. A letter from his son, 

 Arthur, states that he is stationed on 

 the Swiss border. E. L. F. 



Peoria, lU. — Charles Loveridge, who 

 has a range of 85,000 feet of glass and 

 employs a force of thirty-two people 

 to operate it, reports business for the 

 month of November, 1918, the greatest 

 of any month in the year so far. Octo- 

 ber, 1918, was forty per cent better 

 than the best month in 1917. He ex- 

 pects 1919 to be the banner year for 

 florists and says that the spring of 1919 

 will see geraniums selling at $15 per 

 hundred for 4-inch plants at wholesale. 

 Cannas also are likely to have heavy 

 sales in the season approaching. Mr. 

 Loveridge believes the trade should pre- 

 pare for the liveliest business yet en- 

 joyed.
