everybody to want violets, and violets it 

 must be. Lilies, valley, Eomans, and in 

 fact all white flowers, were poor sellers. 

 In the rose line, Killamey, Chatenay, 

 Maid and Bride were all received in 

 large quantities — plenty to fill all orders 

 and some left. If it had not been for 

 some large funerals right after Christ- 

 mas there would have been trouble in 

 moving the white stock left over. 



Various Notes. 



Smith & Fetters report trade better 

 than a year ago, with a strong demand 

 for large plants of all kinds.' The call 

 for long Beauties and violets with this 

 firm was exceptional this Christmas. 

 After the holidays large funeral orders 

 kept all hands hard at work. 



Peter Nichols, of the Arcade, says 

 trade was better than ever. He sold 

 quantities of plants and Christmas 

 wreaths. Cut flowers also sold well. 



From the west side Knoble Bros, re- 

 port a tremendous trade, leaving last 

 year's volume of business far in the 

 shade. This firm ^ade a specialty of 

 wreaths of immortelles, boxwood and 

 magnolia, which sold faster than they 



could be turned out. Mr. Knoble re- 

 marked that a customer had to be disap- 

 pointed for a box of flowers Christmas 

 afternoon, as they ^ere completely sold 

 out. 



Westman & Getz report the best busi- 

 ness they ever had. They sold quantities 

 of novelties in decorated baskets, for 

 which this firm is famous. Cut flower 

 trade was also fine. 



John Kirchner reports a good sale on 

 cemetery wreaths for the holidays, as 

 well as being busy with large funeral 

 orders. 



W. F. Hanna, of Woodland Hills, had 

 some large funeral orders for the Bray- 

 ton, one of which was a large car wheel 

 of violets and Romans. 



Beports from C. M. Wagner are of the 

 best, as the force worked all night get- 

 ting out orders. The call here was for 

 the best grade of plants and cut flowers. 

 They also had some large decorations last 

 week. 



W. H, Kramer, of Eocky Eiver, sent in 

 a fine cut of carnations for Christmas, 

 his rose-pink being very fine. 



On Monday, December 28, the 3". M. 

 Gasser Co. had the misfortune of hav- 



ing its large delivery wagon catch fire 

 from an overturned lantern, ruining all 

 the flowers it contained. 



Lars Anderson was on hand with his 

 usual large cut for the holidays, consist- 

 ing of carnations, Eomans, narcissi and 

 poinsettias. His Victory carnations were 

 fine. 



Eobert Kegg sent in a fine lot of car- 

 nations for the holidays. His Enchant- 

 ress were especially good. 



The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. handled 

 an extra good lot of violets for Christ- 

 mas, but it was impossible to fill orders. 

 Their Killamey and Richmond were also 

 fine. 



C. A. Bramley had all that he could 

 handle at his three stores. Large quan- 

 tities of Boston ferns and araucarias 

 were disposed of; also hundreds of pans 

 filled with sea moss. B. 



Onarga, III. — The Mosbaek Green- 

 house Co. has decided not to wind up the 

 business, as had been contemplated, but 

 will instead push it harder than ever. 

 Charles W. Eeimers, formerly of Louis- 

 ville, Ky., and well known in the trade, 

 has been engaged as manager.
