The Market 



Wholesalers and retailers alike express 

 general satisfaction with the business 

 done during the holidays. "Weather condi- 

 tions, during the Christmas rush, were 

 against the retailers, and the handling of 

 pot plants made deliveries difficult. While 

 prices of some choice carnations did not 

 reach over $8 per hundred, yet as a 

 whole the volume of business done, and 

 the returns to the growers, were quite 

 satisfactory. American Beauty roses 

 reached $12 per dozen for the best, while 

 a larger number went from $5 to $8 per 

 dozen. Some of the best Killarney and 

 Richmond fetched $25 per hundred. 

 President Taft and Maids, in the best 

 grades, sold readily at $15, while me- 

 dium and smaller grades ranged from 6 

 cents up. 



Poinsettias are steadily increasing in 

 popularity. There was a large supply of 

 cut blooms, which sold from $10 to $20. 

 Violets were in heavy demand, especially 

 the singles, and not nearly enough to go 

 around, and the same may be said of 

 valley. The only glut noticeable was on 

 Paper White narcissi. They moved 

 slowly at $3 per hundred. A mistake was 

 certainly made by some growers in hold- 

 ing back so much stock, especially in car- 

 nations, which would have sold to better 

 advantage earlier in the week, when good 

 prices could have been obtained. Good 

 stock sold readily at $6 per hundred and 

 much of the salted goods had to be 

 moved at $3 and $4. One would judge 

 they would learn from experience, but 

 from the way it looks they've got the 

 habit. Asparagus, smUaz and ferns were 

 plentiful. All in all, the holiday trade 

 can be classed as satisfactory. 



Various Notes. 



A bowling club has been started and. 

 had their first evening of innings Mon- 

 day, January 3, and they certainly had a 

 hot time on the alleys. 



Heller Bros., of Newcastle, Ind., surely 

 had their stock in tip-top shape for the 

 holidays. Their Beauties were never 

 better. 



Weiland & dinger were short on their 

 crop, but what was lacking in quantity, 

 they made up in quality. H. Schwaez. 



BosKOOP, Holland. — W. Van Elect & 

 Sons are sending the American trade a 

 neat card for "mostly used telephone 

 numbers," bearing pictures of the nur- 

 sery and a portrait of W. Van B3eef, Jr., 

 who will visit America in March.
