The Market. 



It was a green Christmas, without 

 mistake. The ground was completely 

 bare of snow and the hundreds of un- 

 employed mill operatives throughout 

 the country sections swamped the city 

 markets with all kinds of evergreens. 

 There was, however, a scarcity of cut 

 flowers and flowering plants and these 

 the florists who were fortunate enough 

 to obtain a stock sold at almost any 

 price they wanted to ask. Eoses that or- 

 dinarily would retail at from $2 to $6 

 per dozen sold at from $5 to $25 per 

 dozen. Small plants with any red 

 blooms found quick sale at prices from 

 $2.50 to $15. Poinsettias brought $1 per 

 bud and bloom, and were few and far 

 between. 



Made-up wreaths and baskets of arti- 

 ficial and prepared flowers and foliage 

 attained an almost incredibly large use. 

 With ruscus for the background, all 

 kinds of bright-colored imitation low- 

 ers, red predominating, went into these 

 pieces, which proved easy sellers. 



In cut flowers, carnations brought $8 

 to $12 per hundred; roses, $8 to $25; 

 violets were scarce, also high, bringing 

 $4 to $10 per hundred; chrysanthemums 

 were among the specials and brought $2 

 to $8 per dozen; poinsettias, cut blooms, 

 were $3 to $7.50 per dozen and garde- 

 nias were $1 each. A few weddings and 

 a number of large funerals made a 

 heavy call on the local dealers, , 

 Christnias Echoss. . 



Fred Davis, of tha Riverside "Green- 

 houses, had a large lot of potted palnw, 

 which found ready sale. 



The finest holly seen in this city in 

 many years was received through the 

 commiMion house of W. S. Sweet & Son, 

 Inc., GtiQal street. 



Jogejil E. Koppelman handled sev- 

 eral carloads of southern smilax-in addi- 

 tion: to an unusual amount of greens and 

 artifieial stock.
