Tlie Christmas Market. 



From the talk of the leading retailers 

 and wholesalers, Christmas business this 

 year was ahead of any previous Christ- 

 mas and, from reports in local florists' 

 circles, broke all records in volume of 

 business and satisfactory prices. The 

 weather all through the week was clear 

 and cold, and deliveries needed extra 

 wrapping, which took up considerable 

 time. In the absence of azaleas, the 

 best selling flowering plants were cycla- 

 mens. Poinsettias, as usual, Jiad a big 

 call. Well fruited oranges and cher- 

 ries were much in favor and the sup- 

 ply was large in all blooming plants 

 this year. Ferns and made-up baskets 

 of plants had one of the largest demands 

 in years, as the west end florists were 

 cleaned up December 26 and at present 

 writing will need a ponsiderable supply 

 to replenish their stocks in order to 

 make a show for New Year's day. 



The market was never better in sup- 

 ply and quality of cut stock. Roses 

 were easily the leaders and some extra 

 fine quality of Premier, Russell, Colum- 

 bia, Ophelia, Miladj* and Killaruey 

 were noted last week, with prices more 

 reasonable than in former years, while 

 the demand this year was much better. 

 Carnations fell somewhat below other 

 years in demand and the supply was not 

 so lieavy. Reds and pinks had the call, 

 as usual. Select stock sold at from $15 

 to $18 per hundred. Cut poinsettias sold 

 well and select heads brought as high as 

 $9 per dozen. Violets were of fine qual- 

 ity and averaged $3 per hundred. Cat- 

 tloya Trianse had a strong demand, being 

 ]irieed at $25 per dozen for choice 

 blooms. Chrysanthemums were quite 

 numerous at some of the wholesale 

 houses, but did not sell as well at the 

 price asked as had been expected. 



For sweet peas, $3 per hundred was 

 a stiff price, but the supply was not 

 equal to the demand at any time during
