 of the sales were plants or Christmas

Christmas business was, on the whole, 

 quite satisfactory. Everything in the 

 ray of available colored stock cleaned 

 ap nicely and white flowers went fairly 

 well. Some of the last, however, ac- 

 cumulated toward the close and were 

 carried over into holiday week. 



In the Christmas green line business 

 was excellent. The prices were not 

 quite up to last year's figures. Some 

 extra cars of holly that came in at the 

 last minute gave a fresh supply of that 

 commodity that some of those who 

 were wide-awake, or had the time and 

 inclination, utilized to a good advan- 

 tage. One of the florists was selling 

 wreaths and bunches of holly as fast 

 as part of his force could work them 

 up. ^ 



Prospects for New Year's business 

 indicate that there will be a fair sup- 

 ply of everything in demand but 

 American Beauties. These were short 

 for Christmas and will probably be 

 the same for New Year's day. 



In the Christmas business, besides 

 the Beauties, Bichmond also ran short 

 and Killarney tended the same way. In 

 white flowers. Paper Whites were 

 never so slow in moving at Yuletide as 

 they were this year. While many 

 were used, a considerably greater quan- 

 tity was available. Valley also sold 

 slowly, but managed to make a fair 

 clean-up by Tuesday of this week if it 

 was still good. A few violets were 

 left over.
