obliged to ask — not so much as some of 

 his acquaintaiipes in other lines had. 

 Of course there were instances of peo- 

 ple who complained, hut in the majority 

 of cases the public seemed to expect 

 that prices would b^ higher. He took 

 about the most common sense view of 

 the situation J have heard expressed, 

 which is: "We are under about double 

 the overliead expense to do business 

 here in the store aTid while we produce 

 the greater part of stock this produc- 

 tion costs us al)out double. What we 

 are obliged to buy costs us double. We 

 were obliged to fix our selling price on 

 this basis. Now we had a larger stock 

 this year, both in plants and cut flowers, 

 than ever before. You can sec for your- 

 self that we are cleaned tip." One thing 

 that struck me most forcibly was the 

 fact that he had no fear of the result 

 when the balance will be struck in 

 actual figures on the Christmas busi- 

 ness. 



Over at William Halliday's I found 

 Miss Groves finishing up some bunches 

 for the cmetery. The refrigerators 

 were empty and the only plants in the 

 store were some orchids from which the 

 blooms had been cut. Orchids are the 

 only things this firm produces itself; 

 these are brought in on the plants and 

 put in the window and cut as they are 

 needed. I asked Mr. Halliday if he had 

 any trouble in getting sufficient stock 

 and his answer was, "None at all. I 

 found this Christmas much the same as 

 others, with the usual rumors before 

 hand of the shortage of stock, but I 

 have been through too many to be in- 

 fluenced by such talk." 



When I got to John Cook's the last 

 truck had been loaded and everyone 



The Bizea given here are carried in ■took, in 

 the popular MIST-ORAT and ORBEN colon.

every other store I visited, there was 

 nothing left. Made-up baskets, ardisias,
