East Main street. An interesting ad- 

 dress was given by an expert on coal, 

 who explained the best methods of 

 using, the kinds to use, etc. The night 

 was unfavorable and only a few were 

 present. John Dunbar presided.

This year many of the florists are 

 making pretty arrangements in small 

 baskets filled with boxwood, ruscus, 

 Diana grass and small poinsettias, while 

 some are made of boxwood and colored 

 thistles. These are quite novel and 

 catch the eye of customers. They range 

 in prices from 25 cents to $1.50. Owing 

 to the higher prices of immortelles, the 

 majority of wreaths for outside decora- 

 tions are replaced by velvet poinsettias, 

 which make a better showing, as well 

 as being more artistic. H. J. H,

The Market. 



Last week was similar, in its develop- 

 ments, to every week preceding the 

 Christmas holidays in the New York 

 cut flower market. Dullness prevailed. 

 The only life indicated was in the book- 

 ing of advance orders. These were" 

 about up to the volume of other years 

 in quantity, but a. disposition to econ- 

 omize in values was everywhere in evi- 

 dence. 



Shipments last week were about equal 

 to the demand. Toward the close, there 

 were some accumulations of roses, 

 which the large buyers obtained at bar- 

 gain rates. The demand for the long- 

 stemmed teas is less than for the No. 

 I's and 2's. These were absorbed on 

 arrival, and there were not enough of 

 them at any time to create a surplus. 

 American Beauties are especially fine 

 in quality, and the supply is none too 

 great for the demand. 



Cattleyas were eagerly sought for on 

 Saturday. Prices are improving. The 

 selected flowers are not abundant. Of 

 cypripediums and the medium and 

 smaller cattleyas, there is a great suffi- 

 ciency. 



Gardenias are improving both in 

 length of stem and flower, and values 

 are now at the usual level at this sea- 

 son. Valley is abundant and prices 

 lower. Lilies have probably reached

their top, at $10 per hundred. This 

 price is only for perfect flowers. 



Carnations are now superb, and a full 

 supply is assured for the week's re- 

 quirements. The red ones have their 

 usual advance, but no unreasonable ad- 

 dition to legitimate prices is possible. 

 Prices last week were low for carna- 

 tions, the best of them at times selling 

 down to $20 per thousand. 



There is a splendid supply of mums 

 for Christmas, excellent in quality, es- 

 pecially Rosette and Golden Chadwick. 

 Violets seem to have taken a new lease 

 of life and are again growing in pop- 

 ularity, if one may judge by the im- 

 provement in prices last week; 75 cents 

 per hundred was the quotation Saturday 

 evening. Of hyacinths, narcissi, lilac, 

 daisies, sweet peas, mignonette and 

 pansies, there is enough and to spare. 



There is an evident oversupply of 

 smilax and asparagus. Great quanti-
