Tlie Market. 



Christmas trade was much heavier 

 than was anticipated. It came up to 

 last year in some cases and was only 

 a little below in others, so taking it 

 as a whole the craft has nothing to 

 complain of, as nearly everyone thought 

 trade would be lighter than last year. 

 There was enough stock to go the 

 rounds, except roses, which were in 

 great demand toward the finish and 

 quite a good many more of certain 

 kinds could have been used, especially 

 Bichmond, Ward and Sunburst. There 

 was a good supply of carnations, as 

 most of the growers were in heavy 

 crop. Violets sold well and were in 

 good supply. The demand for Beauties 

 was about equal to the supply, which 

 was not heavy. Cut poinsettias sold 

 well. The supply of azaleas was heavy, 

 but they were all cleaned up. Cincin- 

 nati begonias moved nicely. Cyclamens, 

 poinsettias, primulas, etc., all found a 

 ready sale and made deliveries extra 

 heavy, as it turned quite cold Christ- 

 mas eve. Christmas trees were at a 

 premium. J. M.

The Market. 



Most of the stores report Christmas 

 business as good as last year, while 

 two or three retailers claim to have 

 done the biggest business of any Christ- 

 mas that they can remember. Azaleas 

 were the best sellers; they were to be 

 had at a wide range of prices, from 

 small Petricks in 4-inch pots, which 

 retailed at $1.25, to some large plants 

 of Hexe, at from $15 to $18. Poin- 

 settias seem to be losing favor every 

 year. A surprisingly small number of 

 them were sold this year. Next to aza- 

 leas, cyclamens were perhaps the best 

 sellers and then Lorraine begonias, 

 Jerusalem cherries, primulas and cine- 

 rarias in the order named. 



A large number of baskets filled with 

 holly, winterberries, California holly, 

 pine cones and red ribbon were sold 

 at prices rangiag from $1 to $10. 



Cut flowers of all kinds were plenti- 

 ful and the demand for them good. 

 Carnations retailed from $1 to $1.50 

 for pink and white to $1.50 to $2 for 

 the reds. Pink and white roses brought 

 from $2 to $4 and the red ones $3 to 

 $5 per dozen. American Beauties were 

 in good demand and brought from $6 



MATCHLESS is the best and most profitable white carnation to grow, 

 having no eaual in earliness, vigor of growth and production.- It is superior 

 in size, fragrance and keeping qualities, and is non-bursting. It is a continuous 

 bloomer and is handled with ease by any grower.
