Something new that lends itself readily to the ingenuity of the up-to-date Florist for 

 making Wreaths, Roping, Garlands, etc. It is a light green color and is unexcelled 

 for Basket work as a substitute for Sea Moss.

 John Kruchten, who sells the cut, of 

 course missed the Christmas crop, but 

 nevertheless had enough for all his or- 

 ders. 



Charles Zapfe is about, none the 

 worse for his odd fall of a fortnight 

 ago. 



PITTSBUBaH. 



The Market. 



Christmas was most peculiar. Trade 

 was quiet the week before and buyers 

 were slow about placing orders for cut 

 flowers up until the last minute, when 

 there was a grand rush. The wholesale 

 houses can probably say they sold more 

 and better flowers than ever before, 

 but the prices were lower and the total 

 of business will probably be less. 



The wholesalers had their troubles 

 with the express companies, which were 

 swamped. The greatest losses were on 

 violets. The shipments which should 

 have come in Thursday morning did 

 not arrive until Christmas morning, 

 after all business was over. 



From the retail stores there are con- 

 flicting reports, but all were of one 

 mind on the plant question; the plant 

 sales broke all records. Some reported 

 slow sales on cut flowers, while others 

 admitted they had sold more flowers 

 than ever before, but prices were much 

 below the usual holiday level. How- 

 ever, taking all in all, I believe they 

 all had a much better business than 

 they expected. 



The green goods end must have been 

 bad, especially from the shippers' 

 viewpoint, as much of the holly and 

 wild smilax was sold for less than the 

 freight and today the railroad people 

 are offering the trade smilax still on 

 the track for the freight charges. Put- 

 ting this stock on the market outside 

 the trade, which handles the product 

 the balance of the year, makes for the 

 wholesalers a lot of dissatisfied custom- 

 ers while affording no profit to the 

 shippers. 



The plantsmen all seemed pleased, as 

 they cleaned up everything in blooming 

 stock. The sale of palms and ferns 

 was below the average, but these are 

 staple goods and will be all right for 

 Easter and spring trade. Clarke. 



E. J. McCallum, of the McCallum 

 Co., states that this concern was obliged 

 to " close its doors to the Christmas 

 trade," being completely sold out of 

 stock in all lines.
