EVANS VILLE,IND. 



The Market 



The volume of holiday trade done here 

 was fully up to last year, with prices 

 about the same.' "We had a green Christ- 

 mas, the weather was fine and little wrap- 

 ping of plants was necessary. Boses and 

 carnations were fine and none went to 

 waste. White roses seemed to sell un- 

 usually well. Bulbous stock sold well, as 

 did nearly all other plants. 



Vaxiotis Notes. 



Julius Niednagel had a big business at 

 Christmas and New Year's. He had a 

 nice cut of Bichmond and Ivory, some 

 of the Ivory being cut with 5-foot stems. 



The Blackman Floral Co. reports busi- 

 ness fully up to last year, with prices 

 about the same. They cut an immense 

 lot of carnations and roses. Plants of 

 all kinds were plentiful and in good de- 

 mand. They had several wagons kept 

 busy delivering up to midnight on Christ- 

 mas eve. 



Nellie Goodge reports that she was sur- 

 prised at the amount of business done, 

 as she had not expected it, owing to a 

 dull fall. She has a big trade in holly 

 and makes up several thousand wreaths. 



Ben Kramer's first Christmas in his 

 new store was very satisfactory, clean- 

 ing up on everything that he could get. 

 He has a new delivery wagon that is a 

 dandy. 



Eoyston & Fenton's wholesale trade 

 was such an increase over last year that 

 they did not have enough stock to go 

 around. E. L. F. 



WASHINGTON. 



Business settled down to the usual lull 

 after a holiday rush. Stock is coming 

 in more plentifully and was never finer. 



There was the usual disappointment on 

 violets at Christmas. Messengers were 

 busy all night, calling at the express of- 

 fices for the violets that never came. On 

 Monday they came in large quantities, 

 the express companies offering them to 

 be sold for what they would bring, with 

 few takers. 



New Year's trade was good, all the 

 stores doing a fine business in cut 

 flowers. 



Mr. Magum, of Takoma Park, one of 

 our best local violet growers, is not send- 

 ing any in this season. He will pay more 

 attention to stock plants. He is cutting 

 a fine lot of sweet peas and had a fine 

 cut for Christmas. 



D. G. Grillbortzer, of Alexandria, Va., 

 who has been laid up with the grip, is 

 able to be about again. O. O.
