week. An explosion in the new Altman 

 building, on Thirty-fourth street and 

 Fifth avenue, shattered many a pane of 

 glass and large stones dropped close to 

 the employees in the conservatory. 



Totty sent Fenrich some 1,500 or more 

 grand Richmond in grades that brought 

 25 cents to $1, and there were a lot of 

 the dollar ones. Queen of Edgely, Mr. 

 Nash tells me, brought $1.25 for the 

 best. "Ward's novelties. Alma Ward, 

 Robert Craig and seedlings were mag- 

 nificent and John Young received many 

 congratulations on the wonderful dis- 

 play. 



Wlalter Sheridan's Beauties, as usual, 

 maintained his reputation and there 

 were enough of them to go around. 



The violet train, due at 1 a. m. Mon- 

 day, did not arrive until 8:45, and there 

 were hot words used by some of the 

 wholesalers with advance orders. 



The Beauty king was in no happy 

 frame of mind, on account of a lost 

 shipment of 800 special Beauties, already 

 sold, and was breathing vengeance 

 against the N. Y. C. when I saw him.

Here's wishing you all a Happy New 

 Year. J, Austin Sha.w. 



Christmas from his Great Neck grower. 

 He did a big all-night business. 



Mr. Humphrey, of Thorley's, and his 

 son, had a narrow escape last week and 

 the train that killed the horse and de- 

 molished the buggy came within a hair 

 of removing both gentlemen from active 

 decorative work on this planet. Even 

 the bruises could not keep the artist 

 from his Christmas duties, however. 



Another narrow escape for the Sie- 

 brochts, Mr. See, Mr. Smythe and Mr. 

 Troy last week. The 6:30 train they 

 always take was missed by a few min- 

 utes and was badly wrecked on its way 

 to New Rochelle, several being killed or 

 seriously injured. All remember Mr. 

 Wadley's serious injury of a couple of 

 years ago on this road, for which he was 

 paid $35,000. Will Siebrecht thinks it 

 safer to live in the city during the winter 

 and has moved in. 



Guttman & Weber's Victory sold 

 steadily at $25 per hundred, and there 

 was a lot of it. 



A. L. Young & Co. say they will have 

 to hang up a larger stocking next 

 Christmas. Their carnation shippers sent 

 some grand stock this year. Mr. Hen- 

 shaw makes an efficient lieutenant and 

 boomer here. 



Ford Bros.' big ice-box was just right 

 for the immense holiday shipments. 

 Michael Ford went home early Saturday 

 with a severe cold. 



The telephone never seemed such a ne- 

 cessity to florists as now. Some of the 

 stores book enough orders in this way 

 every day to make all the rest of their 

 business velvet. 



The Rosary's roof looked as though 

 John G. Esler were needed one day last 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market* 



The Christmas trade was up to all 

 expectations and was equally enjoyed by 

 the wholesalers, retailers and growers, 

 especially the latter, who were fortunate 

 enough to have a large cut these days. 

 Roses of all kinds were scarce and prices 

 held firm. Carnations proved more 

 plentiful than had been expected and 

 very few orders were cut. Violets, both 

 double and single, were in good demand 

 and all orders were filled. The Cleve- 

 land Cut Flower Co. reports business 

 as being much better than that of last 

 year and they even entirely sold out. 



Each of the retail stores had all it 

 could do and all had extra help. The 

 weather man helped us all by having 

 fair weather on Saturday and a bright 

 Sunday. 



Monday was an ideal Christmas day, 

 the ground covered with snow and large 

 flakes slowly falling and the thermometer 

 standing about 20 degrees. All the re- 

 tail stores were still busy sending out 

 orders and some of them had to work 

 until evening to get them all filled.
