The Market. 



Christmas trade was the best ever ex- 

 perienced. The supply of plants and 

 flowers was not adequate, although 

 there was a large quantity of good 

 stock. Some of the firms show an in- 

 crease of seventy per cent over any 

 previous Christmas. The cheaper grades 

 of roses were scarce and the demand 

 for them was small. There was a good 

 crop of the better grades, ranging in 

 price from $5 to $15 per dozen, with a 

 good demand. Carnations were a little 

 below the ave^-age for this season of 

 the year and the supply was somewhat 

 limited. They brought $3 and $4 per 

 dozen as long as they lasted. There 

 was a heavy crop of narcissi and the 

 quality was never better. These sold 

 at $2 per dozen and were in good de- 

 mand after other stock ran short. There 

 was a good crop of Mistletoe chrysan- 

 themums, which sold well at from $6 to 

 $10 per dozen. Cyclamens, poinsettias, 

 begonias, Christmas peppers and ferns 

 constituted the supply of plants. These 

 ranged in price from $1.50 for a small 

 pot to $35 for large made-up baskets of 

 assorted plants. The demand was chiefly 

 for plants ranging in price from $3 to 

 $10. Cyclamens and poinsettias were 

 favorites. Immortelles and holly 

 wreaths sold well. 



A comparison with previous years 

 as to the size, value and number of or- 

 ders shows a well-balanced increase. 

 Orders as a general rule were of higher 

 value on account of the increased cost 

 of production. There was also a good 

 increase in the number of orders, which 

 goes to prove that all classes are learn- 

 ing the real significance of flowers and 

 are following the suggestion of the na- 

 tional slogan, "Say It with Flowers."

demand for plants were in about the 

 same proportion as in former seasons. 

 In many cases where cut flowers were 

 desired and could not be obtained the 

 customer took a plant instead, or vice 

 versa.

Actual Christmas trade began some 

 two or three days sooner than usual 

 and it cannot be said that there was a 

 rush. It was not necessary to work 

 any night later than 11 o'clock.
