Emil Buettner frequently forces as 

 many as .30,000 giganteums, mostly for 

 Easter. This year he cut his order to 

 12,000 bulbs. 'He has not yet decided 

 how many will be forced for Easter. 

 He flowers them in time if planted by 

 New Year's. 



Sam Pearce will cut his first jonquils 

 during the last week of the year. 



MacRorie-McLaren's ericas were 

 everywhere early this week. Evidently 

 they had sold like hot cakes, to the 

 retailers, because Christmas plants were 

 shorter than ever before.

 entering the orders in the morning, 

 found there were more than when they 

 started packing the evening before.

 dow was of foliage plants in baskets. 

 Crotons were largely used. 



A. E. Shaw, of Springfield, Mass., has 

 taken space with George Reinberg and 

 hung out a shingle, "Shaw, the Fern 

 Man." He says he has come to stay. 



A. Miller spent a portion of last week 

 at Cleveland and Toledo. He reported 

 the trade in a high state of activity. 



Mrs. C. L. Washburn, a most capable 

 person in many matters besides home- 

 making, is lending a hand at Bassett & 

 Washburn 's this week. 



Christmas trees were a glut, in sharp 

 contrast to nearly everything else any- 

 body wanted. 



P. C. Schupp says the last quarter of 

 1919 has confirmed his belief that the 

 out-of-town trade is worth the extra

 ness, he states, has improved continu- 

 ously, notably in the matter of steadi- 

 ness, as the shipping trade has been de- 

 veloped. 



Peter Reinberg has at length dropped 

 Richmond; only half a house now is oc- 

 cupied by the variety which once was 

 his leader. 



Eric Johnson reports the first of the 

 home supply of pussy willows for Christ- 

 mas, unusually fine stock, which sold 

 well.

C. C. Stulb, Jr., of Stulb's Nursery,
