was sent by the L. S. Donaldson Co., 

 of Killarney, valley and hyacinths. 

 Max Kaiser sent an odd wreath, of 

 poinsettias, most artistically arranged. 

 Holman Gerdes' spray of Richmond 

 and narcissi was much admired. Many 

 other pieces, too numerous to mention, 

 were in the finest of condition.

The Market. 



The New Year's business, taken as 

 a whole, was more satisfactory than 

 the Christmas business proportionately. 

 Of course, the volume was not nearly 

 80 great as at Christmas, but sales 

 were better all around. Stock was not 

 80 plentiful, although there was enough 

 to take care of all orders. After the 

 Christmas clean-up, the stock that 

 came to the market and was quite good, 

 and this fact helped considerably to 

 dispose of the cut. 



This year the burden has been en- 

 tirely on the wholesalers, as the retail- 

 ers have been buying much closer than 

 ever before at a holiday. Inasmuch 

 as stock was plentiful, they felt per- 

 fectly safe in buying from hand to 

 mouth, and did not take many chances 

 on future sales. 



The absence of the usual slump fol- 

 lowing the holiday rush seems to augur 

 well for the months to come. 



Roses seem to be in fine condition. 

 While the cut has diminished to some 

 extent, the quality is high and the 

 stock is moving readilj'. Carnations 

 are still in large supply and conse- 

 quently prices are not as good as they 

 should be. The stock is moving well, 

 however, and is cleaning up fairly well 

 each day. Violets are still scarce, that 

 is, Wisconsin-grown stock, and prices 

 still maintain their high standard. Val- 

 ley has moved well this last week, 

 owing to an unusually large number 

 of corsage orders that have kept the 

 trade busy. •• H. J. S.
