We all knew days before Christmas 

 that carnations from $1.50 to $2 per 

 dozen, and roses from $2 to $4 per dozen 

 (not American Beauties) would go slow, 

 and they did. Eegular flower buyers 

 bought liberally and made up a good 

 average business; but many extra cus- 

 tomers would not pay the prices. 



plants went well, but not with the 

 rush they have some seasons. I think the 

 mam reason for this was that, owing to

 the fakers selling them at 5 cents each.
