Christmas G>mment. 



Until quite recently the greater num- 

 ber of the florists of Newport have paid 

 little attention to the plant department 

 of their business, either at Christmas or 

 Easter, excepting, of course, that they 

 all had a fair supply of lilies for Easter, 

 If they happened to have an assortment 

 of plants of their own raising in condi- 

 tion for Christmas sales, well and good; 

 if not, little effort was made to procure 

 them. I think that having settled down 

 firmly to get along in this way they got 

 themselves to believe there was no mar- 

 ket here for plants at Christmas, or if 

 there was, it was not important enough 

 to arouse them to work for it. Now, 

 however, when some one brings plants 

 here, such as are offered in other cities, 

 we see the plant trade at Christmas rival- 

 ing the cut flower trade. 



But few of the plants offered were 

 grown in Newport, and we have always 

 heard, until lately, that it would not pay 

 to grow plants here. I don't believe it 

 did pay to grow the kind of stuff that 

 was offered here in the past, but I think 

 it would pay to grow the kind of stock 

 seen in one or two stores this Christmas. 



The weather for several days before 

 Christmas was not what dealers or buy- 

 ers would have had if they had the 

 power to make it, but Monday was pretty 

 nearly right for all parties. There was 

 not frost enough to make heavy wrap- 

 ping necessary, and this was quite a con- 

 sideration, especially to F. L. Ziegler, 

 who, despite the employment of a num- 

 ber of extra men, had all he could do 

 filling counter orders. Other florists were 

 also busy. 



Lorraine begonias went like hot cakes 

 in front of a hungry hod carrier. Poin- 

 settias were second in demand, although 

 they were not extra good. Cyclamen 

 were good and sold quickly. So did ar- 

 disias, araucarias, primulas, azaleas and 

 solanums. Palms were not looked at 

 much, neither were ferns. 



Cut flowers sold in larger quantity than 

 last year, at higher prices. Carnations 

 brought from $1 per dozen up. Roses, 

 excepting Beauties, $1.50 and up. Beau- 

 ties were scarce. Violets were received 

 in greater abundance than expectations 

 warranted. They were good quality and 

 met with a ready sale. There were some 

 good Harrisii lilies offered at $2 to $3 

 per dozen. 



This was the first occasion when much 

 consideration was given to small spruce 

 trees in pots, but they went all right. 

 Every one seemed to have gotten fully 

 supplied with holly, but there was noth- 

 ing like the glut of last year; on the 

 contrary, a good price was maintained. 

 The same may be said of trees, of which 

 a scarcity was feared a week before 

 Christmas, but they got here in numbers 

 to fit the demands to a nicety.
