heard; otherwise everything was quite 

 satisfactory. 



The M. A. McKenney Co. reports busi- 

 ness for last week highly satisfactory in 

 both cut flowers and pot plants, the 

 latter making a better showing than in 

 past seasons. They ran short on holly 

 wreaths. 



"A-No. 1" was the answer which 

 came over the wire to the inquiry as to 

 how the holiday business was with the 

 Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. The volume of 

 business was larger than last year, due, 

 no doubt, to their branch store at 782 

 Third street, but what was more notice- 

 able was the call for a better grade of 

 stock in all lines; customers were more 

 ^villing to pay a fancy price for good 

 stock than in the last few seasons. 



Robert Zepnick, 147 Lincoln avenue, 

 says that, all in all, he was well satisfied 

 and that the holiday business ran away 

 ahead of expectations. December 27 

 found him extremely busy with funeral 

 "<\ork. . 



The Wisconsin Floral Co. says that the ' 



price of cut flowers was too high, thus 

 throwing a good many sales over to 

 pot plants. The demand for holly wreaths 

 was too brisk for the supply. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. says that 

 the growers must simply produce high 

 grade stock these days, if they expect to 

 keep pace with the times. Especially was 

 this noticeable in carnations. While or- 

 ders for good stock were still coming 

 in on the afternoon of December 23 and 

 the supply exhausted, there was plenty of 

 the poorer grades in stock, which, up to a 

 late hour, still remained unsold. Ship- 

 ping trade, which commenced Tuesday, 

 was better than ever before. 



At the headquarters of the C. C. Poll- 

 worth Co. there was practically nothing 

 left of the large Christmas stock of 

 pot plants, cut flowers, etc., which were 

 in evidence the week previous. Busi- 

 ness was fine, with a noticeable increase 

 in the shipping line. 



The first club meeting for 1910 takes 

 place January 6, and every member 

 should be present. New officers will be 



installed. Let us help them make it the 

 banner year by attending all meetings. 

 E. 0. 



East Livebpool, O. — Mayor Frank G. 

 Chapman is contemplating the erection of 

 a greenhouse on his farm, back of 

 Chester. 



Malden, Mass. — E. D. Kaulback & 

 Son have removed to their new building, 

 situated at 160 Pleasant street, opposite 

 the postoffice, 



Lowell, Mass. — The local newspapers 

 report that William D. Whittet, of Whit- 

 tet & Co., proved himself a hero recently 

 by the way in which he stopped a pair 

 of runaway horses and saved a group of 

 children from injury. 



Bristol, Va. — Audry, five-year-old son 

 of Charles L. Bowers, a florist, died De- 

 cember 19, being ill for a few hours, ap- 

 parently of poisoning. It is believed 

 the child got poison in some form in 

 cake he ate, although the exact cause of 

 death has not been determined.
