Messrs. H. G. HULBERT & SON, Hubbard, Ohio, write: 



"We are more than pleased with the last house furnished 

 by your firm and hope to have more of them soon. The 

 LEAK-PROOF gutter is great." 



We are the patentees and sole manufacturers of this 



LEAK-PROOF gutter which is giving so much satisfaction.

The Market. 



The weather during the week preced- 

 ing Christmas has been highly change- 

 able; some days were most wintery, then 

 came rain and mild weather again. A 

 terrific wind storm struck this section 

 December 18 and a great deal of damage 

 was done. Many large plate glass win- 

 dows were broken and much inconven- 

 ience has been experienced. A great 

 deal of the exterior decorating has been 

 blown down and scattered through the 

 streets. This storm, with snow flurries, 

 has covered a period of over thirty 

 hours. Business throughout the week 

 was good in all the stores and many 

 preparations have been made for the 

 holidays, every store being resplendent 

 with the vivid Christmas reds. Poinset- 

 tias appear to be plentiful, and cherries 

 and peppers are in good supply. Quan- 

 tities of holly and ferns, as well as a 

 good showing of Boston ferns and palms, 

 are seen at the wholesale houses. Cut 

 flowers have moved fairly well during 

 the last few days and the market is 

 pretty well taken care of. Eoses are 

 the main offering now, although some 

 good mums reach us. Carnations are 

 being held back for a few days. A small 

 shipment of sweet peas reaches this mar- 

 ket occasionally, and sells well. Violets 

 are reaching us in larger supply, but as 

 yet there seems to be no life to the vio- 

 let mark«t. Good yellow pompons are 

 seen and move well. Stevia is seen, but 

 arrives only in small quantities. There 

 has been a large demand for Christmas 

 greens, especially the ground pine, but, 

 for some reason or other, the laurel rop- 

 ing business has not been as large as 

 previously. 



Various Notes. 



The Christmas display of poinsettias 

 and other flowers of choice variety was 

 seen at the Lamberton Conservatory De- 

 cember 18 by a large number of Eochcs- 

 terians. Unfortunately, however, the 

 bad weather prevented many from at- 

 tending, but the exhibit will be con- 

 tinued throughout the next two weeks, 

 and plants will be replaced as found 

 necessary. 



Among the visitors to the trade last 

 week were H. L. Blind and Homer Frey, 

 of the McCallum Co., Pittsburgh; Mrs. 

 George M. Patrick, Auburn, N. Y.; Mrs. 

 George Ely, Clyde, N. Y.; Mrs. F. W. 

 Quance, Newark, N. Y.

 rists' Association held its last meeting
