Hungary, sent W. E. McKissick an or- 

 der, to be delivered in Philadelphia at 

 Christmas. 



The cut flowers of Mrs. Jardine rose 

 can now be had on order. 



The Leo Niessen Co. reports a much 

 better outcome with the Christmas Beau- 

 ties than was expected earlier in the 

 month, when prices were exceptionally 

 low. 



Mr. Hayden, of the Philadelphia Cut 

 Flower Co., is confined to his home for a 

 few days with the grip. 



E. Bernheimer is receiving a fine lot of 

 sweet peas and Princess of Wales vio- 

 lets, which are fine. 



"William Keaton deserves great credit 

 for his fine single violets, which are con- 

 sidered the best in town. This is his 

 first year in business for himself. 



S. S. Skidelsky will read a paper be- 

 fore the Florists' Club at its meeting 

 January 7. The title will be "Competi- 

 tion, Fair and Foul." 



The S. A. F. directors held a meeting 

 in this city December 20 for the purpose 

 of closing up the work of the society for 

 1907. President Traendly announced the 

 appointment of John Young, New York 

 city, and George Asmus, Chicago, as 

 members of the executive board. 



M. Bice & Co. had a rather unusual 

 business experience with a house in the 

 middle west, who placed an import or- 

 der with them for a quantity of Porto 

 Bican mats, but which were refused on 

 arrival. They wanted to accept but part 

 of the order, to which Bice & Co, de- 

 clined to accede, saying * ' all or none. ' '

Christmas Tht^ 



One more Christmas is here and gone 

 and everyone is satisfied. The weather,', 

 while not ideal winter weather, such as 

 we would want for that day, was more 

 in our favor than against us. Monday 

 it rained most of the day, but Tuesday 

 it cleared up, and only light wrapping 

 had to be done. This item in itself is 

 a big saving, both in time and paper.

Last year, with zero weather from one 

 end of the week to the other, no end of 

 trouble was caused, with freezing and 

 later replacing the frozen goods. 



That it was a good year no one can 

 deny, for everybody was busy and, 

 though cut stock was a trifle high, it 

 went well. Trade opened a little slowly, 

 but came fast at the end, and before 

 the day was over we were all busy. The 

 sale of mixed baskets was not up to the 

 standard, for all had these left over. 

 Poinsettias sold well, especially the pans 

 running from $1.50 to $5. The cheaper 

 plants were more in evidence, and they 

 seemed to fit the occasion. 



Cut flowers seemed to be as scarce as

ever, with prices a trifle higher. Kil- 

 larney and Bichmond were the leaders 

 in the rose line. The former rose, 

 though pink, sold about as well as the 

 red, while the other pinks were not so 

 much in demand. Violets sold well at 

 $3 and $3.50 per hundred.
