 panies in the same line, will take special 

 notice of this case in the future conduct 

 of their business^ and it is also apparent 

 that the decision will attract much at- 

 tention from florists, who cannot fail to 

 benefit largely by the protection which 

 this decision affords them. 



ONCINNATL 



The Market 



Christmas business turned out to be all 

 that we hoped it would be, and then 

 some. Of course there are reports here 

 and there that the trade fell away short, 

 but taking the reports as an average 

 there can be no question but that the 

 business done this year was well up with 

 last year — which was a banner year — if 

 it did not go it some points better. For 

 one thing, there were more flowers this 

 year than last, as a rule, and this alone 

 would point to a larger business, for, 

 with the exception of poinsettias, there 

 was not a flower of any kind left over. 

 So, taking everything into consideration, 

 we can say that the business done this 

 year was highly satisfactory from every 

 point of view and the florists as a whole 

 have good cause to rejoice in the fact 

 that their business, even with the poorest 

 of prospects, has made good and proved 

 that it is being done on a good, sound 

 basis; for even though there was a finan- 

 cial panic on, the people had to have 

 their flowers for Christmas, as they have 

 now become a necessity. 



As stated above, the poinsettia was the 

 only flower that did not sell out clean, 

 and this was onlv because the wholesale 

 men held the price right up to the top 

 line. They considered the stock on hand 

 to be good even after the Christmas 

 business was over and would not lower 

 the price to sell out. Boses and carna- 

 tions sold out to the last flower and the 

 prices have never been higher. The qual- 

 ity of the carnations was fine and the 

 roses showed less salting than for many 

 years, which is a good thing. Violets sold 

 well and narcissi and Romans went out 

 clean. Valley also did well. 



Holly continued to be scarce through- 

 out the week and when, December 24, 

 it was seen that the wholesale price was
