hundred. Excellent quality was seen 

 in them all. White and yellow narcissi 

 did not suffer this year as in former 

 years, as the demand has cleaned them 

 up daily since they came into season. 

 The usual large supply of sweet peas was 

 missing this year; the supply was lim- 

 ited to a few hundred. Stevia also 

 played an important part in the de- 

 mand, as all the stock which came in 

 was extra fine. Good long mignonette 

 was to be had and sold well. 



The feature of the market was the 

 fine supply of orchids this year. Cat- 

 tleyas were readily sold, bringing $30 

 per dozen. The small supply of valley 

 and Easter lilies was noticeable this 

 year. Cut poinsettias were not equal 

 to the demand. Snapdragons and ca- 

 lendulas both sold well at fancy prices. 



Anything in greens met with a heavy 

 caU, as asparag^is was scarce. Of other 

 greens, duch as galax, smilax, adiantum, 

 boxwood and leucothoe, there was plenty 

 for all demands. 



Christmas with the Retailers. 



Records were broken as to business 

 among the downtown retail florists. 

 Vincent Gorly, of Grimm & Gorly, was 

 much elated and said, "We never expe- 

 rienced such a rush and got the highest 

 prices we have ever asked since we have 

 been in business. The big force was 

 not sufficient to take care of the de- 

 mand."

 spools when empty and when full, and weigh
