TVIN QTIES. 



The Market 



Business the lasj; week has been only- 

 fair. On account of Christmas being 

 so near it has dropped off to some ex- 

 tent. Cut flower buyers are eidently 

 busy with their Christmas shopping, and 

 the florists cannot expect any particular 

 rush until Christmas week. 



Considerable holly and green are being 

 handled in a wholesale way. The com- 

 mission houses are doing quite a heavy 

 holly business on account of the close 

 prices they are quoting. Some nice holly 

 was seen by the writer quoted at $3.75 

 per case, while the larger trade dealers 

 are asking $4.75 and $5 per case. There 

 is a vast difference in the quality, how- 

 ever. But the merchants seem to favor 

 the commission houses, no doubt on ac- 

 count of the price. There is an excep- 

 tionally heavy demand for lycopodium 

 and fair prices are obtained for it. 

 From present prospects the shortage in 

 this section is not so great as was at 

 first anticipated. A great deal is being 

 sold at $6.50 and $7 per crate. The 

 orders from country points have started 

 out quite strongly. The larger dealers 

 each have from thirty to sixty girls 

 busy making wreathing, which sells well 

 at $4.75 and $5 per hundred yards. 

 Christmas trees are arriving in carload 

 lots, and the prominent vacant lots are 

 beginning to fill up. 



St. PauL 



The Swanson Floral Co. in future will 

 be conducted by Gust A. Colberg and 

 Alfred Lemke, Mr. Lemke having pur- 

 chased Mr. Swanson 's interest in the 

 business. Mr. Colberg has just returned 

 from Chicago, where he has been in 

 search of Christmas novelties. 



C. F. Vogt has been especially busy 

 the last week making green and holly 

 wreaths for the Christmas trade, which 

 is heavy, especially on all green goods. 



The Kamaley Floral Exchange has re- 

 ceived a large consignment of Christmas 

 trees which they will sell at retail only. 



H. Krinke says trade has been fair 

 and is making preparations for a large 

 Christmas business. 



L. L. May & Co. have a large force 

 of girls making up wreathing. They 

 handle a large quantity of green goods, 

 supplying a large number of florists 

 throughout the northwest. Felix. 



Delphi, Ind. — Mrs. R. L. Higginbo- 

 tham has discontinued business. There 

 is a good opening in the town. 



Williamsburg, Pa. — Walter S. Hood 

 is the inventor of a new trellis which 

 can be folded ^p or laid in a horizontal 

 position without injuring the vine or 

 plant entwined therein. It also combines 

 a sprinkler and is so constructed that it 

 can be readily moved from one place to 

 another.
