The Holiday Business. 



According to all reports this Christmas 

 has been one of the best in the history 

 of floriculture in this city. Frona all 

 quarters comes the report of exceptional 

 demand and good prices. A comparison 

 with the trade done in former years 

 bears this out. Roses were a fair crop 

 and sold quickly at the following prices: 

 Beauties at from $2 to $12 per dozen; 

 Brides and Maids, $2.50 to $8 per hun- 

 dred: Richmonds, $4 to $10 per hun- 

 dred. There was an extra demand for 

 carnations, the supply, owing to the 

 dark weather of the preceding month, 

 being rather short of that anticipated. 

 Prices ruled from $3 to $8 per hundred, 

 and each day's cut was cleaned up i" 

 a short time. There was a plentiful 

 supply of very fine violets, which sold 

 readily at $1.50 per hundred. The sup- 

 ply of valley was also ample. In greens 

 and miscellaneous stock, there was a 

 good trade, the supplies being abundant. 



The various stores and growing estab- 

 lishments report a good trade in flower- 

 ing and decorative plants at good 



figures. „ . 



Harry Hoffman had a very fine cut 



of carnations. 



La France was well stocked with 

 potted plants. Durand had more orders 

 than ever. 



The United States Cut Flower Co. 

 reports doing treble the business it did 

 last Christmas. Their cuts of roses, car- 

 nations and valley were exceptionally 

 fine. Supt. Curran reports very favor- 

 ably on Richmond rose, which is really 

 fine here and will be propagated in large 

 quantities. Crops are looking well and 

 some magnificent cuts of carnations are 

 in view. Propagation is now in full 

 swing, and from the quantity in course 

 of rooting one would think that a large 

 increase of glass in this section would 

 be required to give them accommodation. 



Among recent visitors were S. S. 

 Skidelsky and his pink Enchantress. He 

 reports very satisfactory sales of this 

 and succeeded in impressing some of 

 the boys here to invest freely. R.
