writing the weather has cleared, with 

 a, 10-degree temperature, and so it will 

 probably be more favorable from now 

 until Christmas. 



Various Notes. 



A visit to the greenhouses of the 

 Wm. Blackman Floral Co. found a largo 

 stock of plants of all kinds ready for 

 Ohristnias. Bulbous stock in all stages 

 of growth, azaleas, cinerarias, primulas, 

 both obconica and Chinensis, were 

 found here. A large batch of poin- 

 settias are fine. There is a good sup- 

 l»ly of greens. The roses "have been 

 .(ffected by the cloudy weather, but 

 tliey .will be in pretty good condition 

 for Christmas. The carnations are in 

 grand shape and the cut will be good. 

 The flowers are perfect and have good, 

 strong stems. There are more of En- 

 chantress than of any other variety. 

 However, White Wonder, Herald and 

 (Uoriosa are also good. Beacon is in 

 tine shape for Christmas. 



.lulius Niednagel & Sons are making 

 jireparations for a good Christmas trade. 

 They have a large supply of plants, 

 including poinsettias, berried plants, 

 begonias, ferns, Christmas Gem coleus 

 and bulbous stock. The carnations 

 liere will be in good crop and the qual- 

 ity is excellent. The roses will be in 

 fair supply. Killarneys will be off crop, 

 l.ut Richmond and. Ward will hit it 

 much better. John Niednagel and wife 

 iiave returned from their wedding trip. 



<J. L. Niednagel will be off crop at 

 Christmas with Beauties, but If the 

 weather turns favorable the cut of 

 Ki Harney and Mrs. Chas. Russell will 

 lie good." He has bought 10,000 Manetti 

 and will graft that many Russells for 

 next season. 



.1. C. Elspermann has a large stock 

 of plants for holiday trade and prep- 

 arations are being made for a big 

 business. 



Karl Zeidler is well fixed for a good 

 Christmas. He has a big supply of 

 |)lants of all kinds. His store uptown 

 will help out considerably in the sale 

 (if his stock. 



W, D. Macer -is preparing for his 

 first Christmas business. He is filling 

 liis store with good seasonable plants. 



Miss Nellie Goodge is ready for a 

 heavy business. 



Louis Fritsch looks for an increase 

 of business this year. His carnations 

 are in good condition. E. Ti. F.

Dark weather continues. We have 

 had only a half -hour of sunshine in the 

 last ten days, which is a big drawback 

 in the supply of cut flowers, especially 

 home-grown stock. Business has not 

 been affected, however, as there was 

 plenty of funeral work on hand, more 

 so than for a good many days. Cut 

 flowers of all kinds were cleaned up 

 at the closing hour each day last week. 

 Business is net np to the average of 

 last year, but everyone is satisfied with 

 the results at the" close of each week. 

 Transient trade is on a slump. Fu- 

 neral and decorative work is up to the 

 standard of a year ago, and some re- 

 port trade a little stronger in both 

 of these departments. The cause of 

 the slump in transient trade is thought 

 to be the donations to various insti- 

 tutes and hospitals and to the stricken 

 Belgians, to afford which a great many
