rate. Fine decorations were executed by 

 several of the retail florists in the homes 

 of cabinet officers and other prominent 

 public men. 



The florists were busy all day, and in 

 several instances, well into the evening. 

 Many gift boxes were sent out, fine roses 

 and violets being in demand. American 

 Beauties brought from $10 to $15 per 

 dozen, violets $3 per hundred. 



Good Resolutions. 



Dear Brethren of the Craft, growers, 

 wholesalers, retailers and supply men, let 

 us make some good resolves. By grow- 

 ing a fine quality of stock the grower 

 smooths the path of the wholesaler; he, 

 therefore, must be eternally vigilant with 

 his packing and shipments. The retailer 

 can begin right and clean out those sad, 

 old plants left over from Christmas. May 

 the supply men resolve not to turn the 

 next flower show into an exhibition of 

 painted metal. 



A happy New Year to all of you.

The Market 



We have closed another year, and as 

 one looks it over it would seem that to ask 

 for another one like it would be asking 

 plenty. Of course everyone in the busi- 

 ness is hopeful that we will do better 

 this year, and we hope all will. By com- 

 mon consent we may say 1905 was the 

 biggest year the "posy" business has 

 ever seen in this city. 



Christmas exceeded all expectation 

 and, owing to the many social events, 

 the retailers have seen no let up since. 

 Most of them are still working day and 

 night, and the help are in that condition 

 that they are hard to handle; so tired 

 that they do not care whether they hold 

 their positions or not; but a couple of 

 easy days will put them all in a good 

 humor again. 



Roses have continued scarce since 

 Christmas, and the same can be said of 

 almost everything else. While all kinds 



of stock have brought good prices, values 

 have not been beyond other years, and, 

 in fact, carnations and violets sold for 

 less money than at Christmas, 1904. 



While New Year's is usually just a 

 little better than an ordinary day, this 

 year, although drawn out, it was just 

 a little better than the year before. 

 Several of the stores had orders for 

 big decorations. Randolph & McClem- 

 ents had eight large jobs for New Year's 

 evening, not counting dinner decorations. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams was almost ready 

 to quit Saturday when she had to send 

 the last man about the place out to finish 

 a decoration and the door had hardly 

 closed when the phone brought in another 

 order to be finished that night. How- 

 ever, the next person to come in was one 

 of her best customers who just stopped 

 to congratulate and thank her for the 

 beautiful ballroom decoration she had 

 done for him the night before. I left 

 her very tired but with a satisfied look.
