exceedingly good. He had a large batch 

 of poinsettias, which were just in crop 

 for the Christmas trade and were 

 easily disposed of. A good cut of 

 Paper White narcissi and chrysanthe- 

 mums, including a few single pink vari- 

 ties, was entirely cleaned up. In pot 

 plants everything with a flower was 

 sold, being mostly cyclamens in 5-inch 

 and 6-inch pots and many poinsettias 

 in pans. At his range at Woodland 

 many thousands of carnations were cut, 

 which were first-class stock and were 

 sold mostly to the local trade. Prep- 

 arations for a large wedding January 1 

 have kept him busy for the last few 

 days. 



With the Duluth Floral Co., business 

 was quite up to expectations and, al- 

 though the staff was more than doubled, 

 they had to hustle to get orders out on 

 time. Lo^jbaskets made up with Eng- 

 lish holly ahd red candles were used for 

 table decoration and proved a good 

 selling line, being sold as quickly as 

 they could be made up. Cut flowers sold 

 well in all lines and a large funeral at 

 Chisholm, Minn., Friday, December 26, 

 cleaned up all the surplus stock and 

 kept the staff working the largest part 

 of Christmas day. Edward Kriemer 

 was home on a vacation and helped at 

 the store during the rush. 



The Alpha Florists report that busi- 

 ness was better than in other years. 

 Cut flowers sold well, also pot plants. 

 They had a good run on artificial bas- 

 kets, made up of ruscus, pine cones and 

 various Christmas flowers. 



William Jaap reports a record Christ- 

 mas. He cleaned up everything he had. 

 His cut poinsettias were the best seen 

 in Duluth for some years and he had no 

 trouble in disposing of them. Cycla- 

 mens in 5-inch and 6-inch pots cleaned 

 right out, also poinsettias in 5-inch and 

 6-ineh pans made up with pteris ferns. 



The Quality Flower Shop was well 

 pleased with the amount of business 

 done through the Christmas week. It 

 was this firm 's first Christmas in Du- 

 luth and consequently it was difficult to 

 judge just how much stock to buy; the 

 firm cleaned up everything it had and 

 could have sold much more, especially 

 American Beauty roses. J. E. 8.
