the week. The demand for calendulas, 

 Paper Whites, stevia and snapdragons 

 used up the supply rapidly. The heavy 

 demand upon the local growers, who cut 

 closely all the week, will no doubt shorten 

 stock considerably the coming week. In 

 addition, one foot of snow fell Christ- 

 mas night and the storm continued 

 throughout the next day. Weather pre- 

 dictions call for cloudy weather with 

 much snow. 



It is expected here that New Year's 

 business will be good, as society reports 

 many approaching functions and orders 

 for cut flowers and decorations have 

 been already booked ahead. 



Various Notes. 



The downtown florists talk of noth- 

 ing but the great volume of business 

 done. Grimm & Gorly, Mullanphy Flo- 

 rists, Riessen Floral Co., George Berner, 

 the Foster Floral Co. and the floral de- 

 partments at Vandervoort's and Famous- 

 Barr say everything sold well and the 

 demand for plants and cut stock was 

 away beyond their expectations. 



C. Young & Sons Co. made a grand 

 display of blooming plants and reports 

 satisfactory business in all lines. 



Ostertag Bros, never had a better 

 Christmas and report many advance or- 

 ders for New Year's. 



In the west end the leaders all em- 

 ployed extra help and their business was 

 the best ever experienced. Some re- 

 markable displays in the windows of 

 Fred C. Weber,' Joseph Witek, F. H. 

 Weber and the Sanders Nursery Co. at- 

 tracted considerable attention. 



George Waldbart Floral Co., Ayres 

 Floral Co., M. S. Newman and Koenig 

 Floral Co., centered at Grand avenue 

 and Olive street, say a better Christmas 

 could not have been wished for. Their 

 stores were filled with the choicest of 

 stock in plants and cut flowers. 



Reports from the north and south 

 ends of the city were that it had been 

 the best Christmas ever. The most 

 noted displays of Christmas stock were 

 at the establishments of the Bergster- 

 mann Floral Co., Windier 's Flowers, 

 Schoenle Floral Co., Charles Beyer, Mrs. 

 Bruenig, W. H. Kruse and the Blossom 

 Shop. The Mullanphy Florists' north 

 end establishment and the stores of the 

 Bentzen Floral Co., Pieper Floral Co. 

 and A. Brix Floral Co. had all they 

 could attend to. The new florists' stores, 

 the Carlton Flower Shop, Hamilton Flo- 

 rist, Kissel and the McGill Floral Shop, 

 who experienced their first Christmas, 

 say everything was most satisfactory.
