Philip B. Walsh went his usual line of 

 Christmas stock one better. We all 

 know he is an expert grower, but when 

 he sent in some of the finest dressed 

 turkeys we opened our ej'es. There is 

 one thing certain, he will not waste his 

 time with anything that is not quality 



Charles B. Akehurst will have a big 

 pick of sweet peas in the negr 'future. 

 The only thing that has been holding 

 them back is the dark weather. His 

 carnations have not been so productive 

 up to this time as formerly, but they 

 look fine and no doubt later in the sea- 

 son he will have his usual large cut. 



The second cotillion was held New 

 Year's eve, and, while there wer? not 

 so many flowers as nt the first one, there 

 were more than is usually the case. 

 There were more before-the-cotillion din- 

 ners than is usually the case, which kept 

 florists busv. 



James Glass had a fine lot of Boston 

 ferns and sold a lot of them at Christ- 

 mas. Mr. Glass knew blooming plants 

 were going to be scnrco, so he reasoned 

 that foliage plants would sell well— and 

 his reasoning was sound. 



The I. H. Moss Co. did a large busi- 

 ness in small pines in tubs. This trade 

 is growing bettor each year. When we 

 could get Christmas trees for 25 cents 

 people did not think of tubbed stock, 

 but now that one is obliged to pay any- 

 where from $l.r)0 to $;") for a tree, many 

 people feel it is better to buy a grow- 

 ing tree and, after Christmas, place it in 

 the vard. I know of one bought a ye.-ir 

 ago that was in much better shape this 

 year than when purchased. Tate. 



Wheeling, W. Va.— Frank C. Seibert 

 reports that Christmas business in this 

 city was excellent. All flowering plants 

 were sold out and there was a big run 

 on ferns. 



Shelbyville, Ind. — The Crossairt Flow- 

 er Shop, on West Broadway, opened De- 

 cember 13. A beautiful brick fireplace 

 is one of the distinctive features of the 

 store. 



Okmulgee, Okla.— Geo. W. Marshall 

 sent out for Christmas fifty-eight F. T. 

 D. orders, averaging $6.50 each. He 

 reports an excellent business and says 

 the demand for artificial wreaths and 

 novelties was above expectations.
