Christmas Trade. 



Christmastide reached Minneapolis in 

 the midst of sunny weather, and a pro- 

 fusion of cut flowers of every variety 

 thronged the market. Roses and carna- 

 tions came freely to the demand, and 

 poinsettias, chrysanthemums, violets, lil- 

 ies, etc., helped to make the variety of 

 cut flowers greater. Every house sold 

 out its supply, and pronounced , this the 

 best Christmas business they ever had. 

 Of course, red roses and carnations were 

 at a premium, but many fancy baskets 

 of the other flowers were substituted 

 when these could not be secured. Away 

 into the wee sma' hours the retailers' 

 staffs worked, and still there was a lot 

 of work left over for Christmas morn- 

 ing. The wholesalers caught it on the 

 first three days of the week, with some 

 hurry-up orders, of course, at the last 

 minute. 



Various Notes. 



James Souden & Co. did an immense 

 business the two days before Christ- 

 mas, and Mr. Souden pronounced him- 

 self well satisfied with the outcome. 



Miss Whitted sold a number of pret- 

 ty baskets of flowers and plants, and 

 found herself sold out early Ci;ristmas 

 eve. 



O. C. Swanson was busy early and 

 late, and the store was thronged with 

 customers all the week before the day 

 itself. He sold out all his plants and 

 cut flowers. 



E. A. Latham did a good business in 

 greens, plants and cut flowers. 



"Will Bros, put some fine violets on the 

 market, and some particularly fine Rich- 

 monds. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co. did a good 

 business in roses and carnations, and es- 

 pecially in poinsettias and chrysanthe- 

 mums. The number of plants shipped 

 out of town and delivered to the city 

 exceeded that of any previous year, and 

 the Christmas trade was very satisfac- 

 tory all around. M. E. M.
