Christmas business, on the whole, was 

 better than last year, and would un- 

 doubtedly have been much better had 

 the weather been good. Thursday night 

 it began to snow and continued until 

 Christmas morning, with the tempera- 

 ture around zero. Christmas morning 

 found us with twelve and one-half inches 

 of snow on the level, and there were 

 drifts in places six feet high. All street

Various Notes. 



The Guthrie-Lorenz Co. reports selling 

 out clean, with trade twenty per cent 

 ahead of last year. In plants the call 

 was for poinsettias, azaleas and prim- 

 roses. In cut flowers the call was princi- 

 pally for red roses, carnations and poin- 

 settias. 



Lozier's reports a good trade and not 

 a flower left by 12 o'clock. 



The Des Moines Floral Co. reports a 

 splendid business in the new store, where 

 a great many violets, carnations and roses 

 were sold. 



The Alpha Floral Co. reports the 

 Christmas trade about the same as last

 Killarney, carnations and violets. Bloom-
