The Plant Market. 



The demand for Christmas plants both 

 flowering and foliage has been equal 

 if not ahead of that of last year. The 

 wonderful stride made by plants in 

 popular favor could not possibly have 

 continued as in the past. To equal or 

 slightly surpass last year 's great record 

 is an achievement of which the plants- 

 men may well be proud. The poin- 

 settia probably was the most popular 

 Christmas plant, particularly for bas- 

 kets. Begonias and cyclamens sold in 

 , large numbers, the new Glory of Cin- 

 ^cintttfti proving a great favorite. Aza- 

 lleas have hardly held their own; in 

 some quarters they were well received, 

 'but, generally speaking, the azalea is 

 rnot considered a satisfactory blooming 

 plant for Christmas. The number of 

 ferns sold, particularly of the Boston 

 family, was wonderful, while foliage 

 plants, notably palms and dracsenas, 

 *c^ltftis 4nd pandanus, had a share in 

 the Christmas stock, Christmas plants 

 havel, certainly come to stay and it is 

 within the power of the plantsmen to 

 lincrease their use by judicious selection 

 jand cultural skill. 



i! The Chriatmas Windows. 



Some ideas gathered from the dis- 

 plays of a few of the shop windows in 

 the central t)art of the city just before 

 the holidays may be of interest. The 

 Christmas color was beautifully brought 

 out in an effective arrangement of our 

 greatest rose at the Bellevue Stratford. 

 J. J. Habermehl's Sons had there a pro- 

 fuse decoration of American Beauties, 

 arranged to show flower and foliage to 

 advantage. There were Beauties of 

 different grades, tied with graceful 

 bows of that ribbon that for so long 

 taxed the inventive ingenuity of the 

 specialists to produce; in a word, tied 

 with Beauty ribbon. 



Charles Henry Fox made a handsome 

 display of Scotch heather, set in his 

 long handled tubs adorned with Christ- 

 inas red ribbon, tub and bow setting off 

 the dainty grace of the heather as a 

 proper frame does a pretty picture.
