The Market 



Christinas trade without any cxccp- 

 tious surpassed that of previous years. 

 There was an increase of trade in all 

 lines and the quality of stock was ex- 

 ceptionally fine. The sale of plants, 

 especially flowering plants, was unusu- 

 ally large and any one having plants in 

 salable condition found a ready market 

 for them at profitable figures. The de- 

 mand for carnations was unusually 

 heavy, but there was about enough good 

 stock to go around, with the exception 

 of red, which ran short, as the stock 

 was much out of proportion in this 

 color with the quantity of other colors 

 on the market. 



There was a tremendous sale of holly 

 wreaths, but the general run of holly 

 was not up to the quality of what has 

 been in this market former years. It was 

 very noticeable that loose holly was not 

 used as extensively for decorating as 

 in previous years. There appears to be

much objection to the falling berries, 

 and quite a lot of wild smilax was sub- 

 stituted. The weather was very favor- 

 able for delivery of stock and all in all 

 it appeared to be a satisfactory Christ- 

 mas for every one in the trade. 



Violets were of fire quality and all 

 good stock sold out at good figures. 

 Stevia was practically the only flower 

 that was a glut on the market ; it was 

 difficult to keep it moving. In roses, 

 Liberty and Chatenay led the call, and 

 good prices were realized on first grade 

 stock. Incog. 



MATTOON, ILL. 



Christmas prices were about the same 

 as last year. Carnations have taken the 

 lead since the fancies have come to stay. 

 Everything that was in bloom cleaned up 

 in the plant line. Azaleas took the lead, 

 poinsettias second, cyclamen third, ferns 

 and primroses next. Of course, we peo-

pie down here in Egypt make an effort 

 to push plants, so you see if we sell a 

 plant for $1 we have the dollar and if 

 we sell a dozen carnations for $1 and 

 furnish a box, paper and twine and throw 

 in some fern leaves and are forced to 

 pay $7 and $8 per hundred, the other 

 fellow gets the $1 and you get the growt 

 and the customer thinks you make 95 

 cents on every dozen. I have been forced 

 to sell carnations for $1 per dozen that 

 were not worth 50 cents. No wonder 

 the plant business grows and it will con- 

 tinue to grow. 1 will endeavor to have a 

 bigger supply of plants for another year.
