The Market. 



The week after Christmas, for the 

 most part, was slow, but fortunately 

 there is little stock to be had at this 

 time. December 31 was the only day 

 which showed a little of the old-time 

 activity, and on that day the market 

 cleaned up well, with the exception of 

 poinsettias. Eoses are now arriving in 

 wonderful condition and carnations are 

 getting better daily. Narcissi, in both 

 yellow and white, are still on the mar- 

 ket, as is stevia, but these items have 

 been moving rather slowly. Violets 

 cleaned up the last part of the week 

 and the demand was greater than the 

 supply, as all the wholesalers sold out. 



A good crop of pussy willows, some 

 with 6-foot stems, are now arriving and 

 also a fine lot of cut Roman hyacinths. 

 Daffodils have made their appearance 

 and have been bringing $10 per hun- 

 dred for the early ones. Some good 

 buddleia is also arriving and has been 

 cleaning up well. 



Various Notes. 



Del Bramley has purchased a new 

 limousine. 



Robert Walters has a new White 

 truck. 



Gustave Stehn has a new Ford deliv- 

 ery car, which had the misfortune of 

 figuring in an accident the first day it 

 was out. 



James Slapnick has opened another 

 flower store, under the name of the 

 Fine Art Flower Shop, near Thirtieth 

 street on Euclid avenue. W. A. R. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



The closing week of 1921, opening 

 with the day legally observed for Christ- 

 mas, was thoroughly satisfactory in the 

 cut flower market. Business was steady 

 throughout the week — no great activity, 

 just good, steady business. Prices on 

 carnations and on roses in the short and 

 medium grades were well maintained, 

 but a group of aristocrats — Beauties, 

 orchids and gardenias — fell sharply. 

 Fancy Premier, Columbia and Russell 

 had to be sacrificed, while valley was 

 in oversupply. The buying for New 

 Year's on Sunday and Saturday pre- 

 ceding was active, the supply being 

 fairly good. I'aper White narcissi arc 

 overabundant. Single vidlets, when 

 well grdwii, are greatly jirefcrred in 

 this market to tlie New York doubles, 

 chiefly on acconiit of their fragrance, 

 and they carridl a hotter price. 



An error crejit into last week's Christ- 

 mas report. It sliould have read that tlie 

 weather was unfavorable to the produc- 

 tion of sweet jteas and there was not a 

 heavy supply of carlies. 



Holland, 



There is a difTerence of opinion in 

 floral circles regarding the name that 

 heads tliis paragraph. Some say it is 

 Holland, while others say it is Church- 

 ville, when sjieaking of the greenhouse 

 range in question, according to the sta- 

 tions at which they chanced to alight.
