ST. PAUL. 



Christmas trade was good. Everything 

 was in demand, from a sprig of mistle- 

 toe to a long-stemmed Beauty. Holly 

 sold unusually well, the supply being 

 exhausted early. Lycopodium wreaths 

 and wreathing sold well but were not in 

 as great demand as in the past. The 

 attitude of some insurance companies 

 in refusing to insure stock where this 

 decorative is used has no doubt caused 

 a decrease in sales. Mistletoe of excel- 

 lent quality was abundant. 



In the plant line dwarf poinsettias 

 in pans easily captured first honors. 

 Well grown red peppers sold well also. 

 Simon Mardner azaleas were in good 

 demand. Palms and ferns met with 

 quick sales but smaller flowering plants 

 lid not find buyers readily. Good Lor- 

 raine begonias sold fairly well but as 

 the blooms drop quickly after a few 

 hours in the heat they are not very 

 satisfactory Christmas plants. Hampers. 

 ^vreaths, etc., were liberally supplied 

 with ribbon. Some light colored ham- 

 pers from Philadelphia were the most 

 unique ever seen in this market. 



The supply of cut flowers was about 

 equal to the demand. The home grow- 

 ers all had good crops and realized 

 handsome prices for same. May & Co. 

 had some extra choice Chatenay roses 

 which sold quickly at $5 per dozen. 

 There was a good call for Beauties at 

 $8 to $18 per dozen. Carnations were 

 somewhat short of the demand, with 

 prices well maintained. Flamingo is a 

 most handsome variety for Christmas. 

 Enchantress retailed as high as $3 per 

 dozen. 



New 5fear'.s trade was good, violets 

 and Beauties being the most popular of 

 any. 



Wm. Speth, employed bv May & Co. 

 the past year, has moved to New York.
