all blooming plants, and everything 

 available in cut flowers was sold. The 

 prices this year were a little more rea- 

 sonable in all of the stores. A heavy 

 snow storm and zero temperatures oc- 

 curred two or three days previous to the 

 holiday, but, the day before, the weather 

 moderated and deliveries were made in 

 a much more satisfactory manner. Sev- 

 eral shipments from the east were frozen 

 badly, but other stock was procured and 

 all orders were taken care of in a most 

 satisfactory manner. 



The Market. 



There have been a few quiet days 

 since Christmas, but the latter part of 

 the week business began to show ac- 

 tivity again. Stock is fairly plentiful 

 once more and is good in quality. Roses 

 arc in abundance and a good demand is 

 noticed, particularly for the medium 

 grades. Ophelia and Butterfly are of 

 excellent color. Violets are good and 

 sell at better prices. Good pink bou- 

 vadia is seen and the demand is good. 

 Orchids are quite plentiful and sell well 

 at from $1 to $1.7il each. A few good 

 sweet peas are seen occasionally and 

 move well. The chrysantheniuin season 

 is not over yet and small shijiments ar- 

 rive each day. Cut poinsettias have 

 met a fair market during the holi- 

 days. Carnations are improving daily 

 and are much superior to tliosc seen ;it 

 the holiday. Calendulas are in fair sup- 

 ply and sell readily. Paper Whites are 

 quite plentiful. Roman hyacinths and 

 jonquils are seen frequently. Pussy 

 willows are in fair supply.

 It was found particularly useful for the 

 holidays. At this establishment brisk 

 business is reported for the holidays. 



Harold D. Phelps reports a most satis- 

 factory holiday business, both at the 

 new greenhouses and at the service 



store. His greenhouses are located oppo- 

 site Browncroft, and this year the resi- 

 dents have outdone themselves by the 

 wonderful electric display.
