to explain -why so few varieties of the 

 rose were grown for the market, when 

 the aim of every alert retailer is to 

 afford his customers an opportunity for 

 selection. Mr. Totty replied that while 

 he would prefer seeing great variety in 

 the market, the drift was against it. 

 "There are," said Mr. Totty, "thirty- 

 eight wholesalers in New York and 

 1,200 retailers in the metropolitan dis- 

 trict. Now, you can readily see that if 

 each one of these retailers should want 

 100 of, say. Butterfly in a single morn- 

 ing, it would take a lot of plants of 

 each variety to supply their wants. When 

 it came to the same in two or three 

 other standard sorts, there would be 

 little room left in the greenhouses for 

 varieties tliat did not command steady 

 support. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel S. Penuock will give an illus- 

 trated talk on European horticulture bo- 

 fore the Florists' Club at the Hotel 

 Adelphia, Tuesday evening^ January ?>. 



George Burton made a notable success 

 of his Christmas Beauty crop at his 

 Queen street place. Kvery shoot had a 

 bud. There was no blind wood. Most 

 of it being sold direct, it was not seen 

 in the wholesale market. 



Edwin J. Faneourt paid a flying visit 

 to Richmond, December 18, when he ad- 

 mired America and Premier on the Hill 

 places. 



Stephen D. Green is in tliis city over 

 the holidays. 



Samuel F. Lilley has been scon in the 

 wholesale district once more. He is 

 looking well. 



The death of Adolphus Gude, of Wash- 

 ington, D. C, has caused gloom liero. 



J. J. Habermehl's Sons have a num- 

 ber of large affairs on for the beginning 

 of the vear. Phil.

Christmas Trade. 



Christmas business this year has been 

 the most satisfactory of recent years, 

 so far as could be learned at this writing. 

 Some of the leading retailers say it went 

 away beyond their expectations. There 

 was splendid weather up to December 21, 

 when rain, with sleet, set in. December 

 24 found us still with dark weather and 

 cold, which caused wrapping of packages 

 for delivery, making much extra work. 



The demand for plants was heavy in

all sections of the city and by far ex- 

 ceeded the call for cut stock, which 

 demanded high prices in all grades. 

 Among the plants that had first choice 

 were poinsettias. These were exception- 

 ally fine this year, while the supply 

 equaled the demand. Cyclamens came 

 next. These, too, were fine this year 

 and there were plenty of them. Fruited 

 orange iind cherry plants cleaned up, .as 

 the supply was limited. Begonias, prim- 

 roses, valley and hyacinths in pots and 

 })an.s were exceptionally fine and the call 

 was beyond the supply. Holly and mis- 

 tletoe were extra fine. Ground pine was 

 quite scarce; the Pine street commission 

 houses had none to sell. Holly and red 

 frieze wreaths had an unusually heavy 

 call, and all the wholesalers cleaned uji 

 on these early in the week. 



As to cut stock, the demand by far 

 exceeded the supply in all fancy and 

 first-grade stock and prices ranged high.

Carnations were checked by the dark 

 days, with prices from $18 to $20 per 

 hundred for choice stock. The whole- 

 salers found themselves short on ad- 

 vance orders. Shipping demand in these 

 was heavy. Roses were plentiful, but 

 from the looks of some of the shipped- 

 in consignments, pickling had been in- 

 dulged in quite extensively, while with 

 the local consignments the stock was 

 clean and had the call. Premier, Russell
