stock, such as lilies, snapdragons, Paper 

 Whites, calendulas and daisies, was in 

 fair supply and cleaned up each day 

 during the holiday week. So far this 

 season, orchids have been scarce. 



Greens cleaned up and the demand 

 equaled the supply in adiantum, plu- 

 mosus, Sprengeri and smilax. The sup- 

 ply of boxwood and flat ferns was suffi- 

 cient to meet orders. 



The plant trade was only moderate. 

 Chrysanthemums, peppers, cyclamens 

 and begonias were in plenty. As 

 Thanksgiving is a cut flower day, these 

 had to suffer somewhat in demand. 



Friday and Saturday following 

 Thanksgiving were not so busy with the 

 retailers, although business was re- 

 ported excellent in all lines, as hos- 

 pital tag days made good calls for cut 

 stock.
