The Market 



There seems to be general satisfaction 

 among the retailers this year with regard 

 to Christmas. Weather conditions were 

 not ideal, it being quite cold, making the 

 delivery of stock a little hazardous unless 

 particularly well wrapped. 



The plant trade eclipsed the cut flower 

 trade, due somewhat to cut flower grow- 

 ers and wholesalers forcing up prices and 

 withholding stock before Christmas. A 

 nice blooming plant at $2- to $5 was 

 more sought after than a dozen carna- 

 tions or three or four Beauties. A. ma- 

 jority of customers refused to pay $2 or 

 $2.50 per dozen for carnations, and these 

 were plentiful enough, too. Eoses were 

 equal to the demand and commanded 

 good prices, but not so much in propor- 

 tion as carnations; as it was, quite a 

 few were left on hand the following day. 

 Some of the store men report that busi- 

 ness Avas a trifle better than a year ago, 

 while a few say it was not so good, ow- 

 ing, perhaps, to local conditions regard- 

 ing stock. 



Violets were particularly scarce and 

 could be had only in limited quantities, 

 and then at $2 per hundred, wholesale. 



Poinsettias moved well. The azaleas 

 and cyclamens, however, were the favor- 

 ites, while Begonia Lorraine followed 

 closely. 



Christmas trees did not prove profit- 

 able to the florists and the mistletoe 

 was not as pretty as in former years. 

 White holly sold well, as also did the 

 green holly, which was scarce and higher 

 priced than last year. 



However, most of the growers and
