manship of a kindred spirit, onee said: 

 ' ' Until you have read this year 's Annual 

 you are behind the calliope in the proces- 

 sion of garden progress." That's why 

 so many mark the march of time, not by 

 the passage of the holidays, but by the 

 arrival of Brother Burpee's book. This 

 year it has most gorgeous pansies on the 

 cover, luscious melons on the back, three 

 color-plates and any amount of garden 

 lore inside.

The Market. 



Christmas business was excellent, and 

 almost everyone reports a larger volume 

 of trade than for the corresponding 

 period last year. Weather conditions 

 were good, with the exception of high 

 winds on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- 

 day. On Friday we had an ideal day, 

 with the temperature around 40 degrees. 

 The stores were never more attractive 

 than this season. Plants always are a 

 prominent holiday feature, and this year 

 the demand was even greater. Poinsettias 

 were in heavy demand, both as cut flow- 

 ers and as pot plants, and some excellent 

 ones were to be had, with better color 

 and larger bracts than usual. Azaleas 

 were fairly plentiful and were finely

flowered. Cyclamens were everywhere. 

 As a whole, the stock was excellent. 

 White and crimson were the favorite 

 colors. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, as 

 offered, was a fine plant. Take it all in 

 all, the plant trade was the best ever 

 known. 



Carnations were not so plentiful, but 

 there were enough to fill all orders, ex- 

 cept in scarlet. The ruling price the re- 

 tailers received for carnations was from 

 $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Violets were 

 scarce^ with an exceptionally heavy de- 

 mand; they brought from $3 to $4 per 

 hundred. Koses were not so plentiful
