The Market 



All of the last week the wholesalers 

 had plenty of stock of almost every- 

 thing in season, with the demand not so 

 good as the week previous, and we had 

 our usual dull spell just before the 

 holidays. From the looks of the mar- 

 ket Monday, December 21, there will 

 be plenty of stock in all grades and 

 at prices within reach of everybody. The 

 demand for holly, greens and mistletoe 

 is as good as any year. Those who han- 

 dle plants say that Lorraine begonias, 

 poinsettias and azaleas are much in favor 

 this year. There is a great demand for 

 California violets for Christmas. These 

 will be up to $2 per hundred. Fancy 

 grades in roses will bring from $12 to 

 $15 per hundred, and American Beauties 

 $12 per dozen for extra long fancy. 



Carnations will go as high as $6 to 

 $8 per hundred and cut poinsettias up 

 to $3 per dozen. Bulb stock will hard- 

 ly advance in price, and we look for a 

 big supply of Romans, Paper Whites and. 

 lily of the valley. There is also a lot 

 of extra good quality of sweet peas in 

 white, pink and lavender. These, with 

 stevia, callas and Harrisii, will make up 

 the market for the Christmas holidays. 

 The demand for adiantum, smilax and 

 asparagus has been fairly good. 



Various Notes. 



Ostertag Bros, had the Christmas deco- 

 ration at the gas office and furnished 

 10,000 bunches of holly, each with a rib- 

 bon, to be given to customers who visit 

 the office. 



J. W. Dunford has opened a branch 

 store at Eighth and Olive streets, under 

 the name of the Gallagher Flower Shop, 

 and is making a nice show. 



Louis Gieger has left the employ of 

 Grimm & Gorley, where he was employed 

 as foreman at the greenhouses. He has 

 taken a position with J. W. Dunford. 



C. Young & Sons Co. has one of the 

 most attractively decorated Christmas 

 store fronts in the city. The blooming 

 plant display is good. 



The last week the weather was such 

 that it scarcely seemed like Christmas. 

 The only reminders were the holly, 

 jjreens and Christmas decorations all over
