Christmas Preparations. 



The flower shops of our city are things 

 of benuty and a trip among them will 

 repay anyone, not only to see the beau- 

 tiful plants but to study the various 

 arrangements used for making them at- 

 tractive. The ingenuity of the florist 

 is put to its greatest test at this sea- 

 son, to devise new and beautiful ar- 

 rangements. Some beautiful garlands of 

 boxwood and red immortelles and box- 

 wood in various kinds of wreaths are a 

 feature this year. One store has hun- 

 dreds of balls and baskets of red immor- 

 telles and boxwood tied with red ribbon, 

 which sell at reasonable prices and sell 

 like hot cakes. Pans of Romans, Pros- 

 erpine tulips, ferns and mixed plants are 

 seen, while one man has several thousand 

 tulips potted up, a single tulip in a 2- 

 inch pot, which will sell for 25 cents. 



Trade has been above the average the 

 past week, even for the season, and all 

 kinds of stock cleaned up with the whole- 

 salers at good prices and/ an excellent 

 Christmas trade is predicted. 



Among the greeu goods people things 

 have not looked so rosy the past week, 

 but there are great expectations for this 

 week. One trouble is that the commission 

 men are handling so much of this stock 

 this year, many of them getting consign- 

 ments and, not having much idea of the 

 value, sell at ridiculously low prices and 

 sell to anyone. The men who have made 

 a business of handling it for years are 

 feeling the effect, but as this seems such 

 a prosperous year they still hope to see 

 enough small buyers to clean them up. 



On last Saturday a team of horses be- 

 longing to Mrs. E. A. Williams ran down 

 Penn avenue, scattering things generally, 

 until they brought up against a street 

 car. 



Some of the retailers have been assert- 

 ing, the last few days, that if the prices 

 on roses, carnations, etc., are not kept 

 down within reason they will confine 

 themselves to plants for Christmas, but 

 the writer thinks that would be almost 

 impossible, as there are many people 

 who can afford and will have flowers, 

 even at high prices, and it will only be 

 when they can direct the tastes and wants 

 of these people that they can follow up 

 such a plan and hold the place they now 

 have in the business. HoQ-Hoo.
