mortelles made and trimmed with box- 

 wood, holly and Christmas greens. Their 

 stock of poinsettias is the finest in the 

 market. 



Harris & Hopton have found business 

 increasing so rapidly that they were 

 compelled to add to their facilities for 

 delivering goods. Mr. Hopton is pleased 

 at any time to show his new addition 

 in the way of a fine big horse and sleigh. 

 He now has one of the finest deliveries 

 in the city. 



D. J. Sinclair has been working night 

 and day filling orders for Christmas sup- 

 plies. He is receiving fine violets and 

 Beauties, also exceptionally good chrys- 

 anthemums which are bringing $1.75 to 

 $2.50 per dozen and find ready sale. He 

 reports that oh account of the dull 



weather good stock will be scarce for 

 the holidays. W. G.

The Market* 



Trade has been good if we take into 

 account the weather, which has been bad 

 for anything like a large business. The 

 outlook for Christmas orders is not rosy. 

 Of course there will be a lot of stock 

 disposed of, but the high prices will 

 restrict business somewhat. It is out of 

 the question to try and do a large over- 

 the-counter trade in this city when car- 

 nations bring as high as $2 per dozen, 

 and American Beauty roses $12 to $18 

 per dozen, with everything else in pro- 



portion. Christmas greens are in good 

 supply and at about usual prices, trees 

 being especially of nice quality this sea- 

 son. Good weather would help things 

 immensely, but stock in flowers will be 

 too high in price for a great business. 



The Florists' Qub. 



The regular meeting of our club took 

 place December 11, President Stephens 

 in the chair and a goodly number of 

 members present. Walter Butler, with 

 the Fifth Avenue Floral Co., was elected 

 an active member. Vice-president Currie 

 reported that the entry fees received at 

 the recent chrysanthemum show amounted 

 to one-third of the entire expenses — a 

 most satisfactory result. This meeting 

 was notable, as it marked the first of
