The Market. 



At this writing it is impossihle to 

 state with any degree of correctness 

 just how Christmas business in Detroit 

 compareil with previous years, still the 

 writer feels safe in saying that on the 

 whole business was far ahead of any 

 preceding year. Christmas, falling as 

 it did on a Monday, greatly facilitated 

 matters for the retail florists. Buying 

 on Sunday was comparatively light and 

 thereby gave those in charge of the 

 delivery end a chance to get nicely 

 caught up. Many of the cut flower 

 orders were also for Sunday delivery, 

 thus relieving the Christmas morning 

 shipping. 



Violets, which sold so well Thanks- 

 giving, were in poor demand. In plants, 

 begonias did not sell. A^ever before 

 were boxwood wreaths sold in such large 

 numbers and holly wreaths also sold 

 well. The weather was ideal for de- 

 livery, as the thermometer hardly got 

 below the freezing point, but with not 

 a flake of snow for weeks the Christmas 

 aspect was somewhat lacking. 



Christmas trees may still be seen by 

 the hundreds on every available cor- 

 ner in the business districts; although 

 no doubt the demand was as heavy as 

 formerly, the supply was far greater 

 than for several years. 



Various Notes. 



Autos played a most important part 

 in the delivery end; in fact, some of the 

 firms used no horses at all. 



A. Miller, of Chicago, spent the holi- 

 days in Detroit, lending a helping hand 

 at some of the stores. 



The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange 

 was fairly swamped with orders, but 

 they nevertheless were able to fill all 

 with their usual carefulness. 



Just what the New Year has in store 

 we do not know; chances are that New 

 Year's trade will be lighter than usual, 

 as there will be no parties New Year's 

 eve. 



A special meeting of the Detroit Flo- 

 rists' Club was held Thursday evening, 

 December 28, to complete arrangements 

 for the big -January show and conven- 

 tion. H. S. 



La Orange, Ky. — The greenhouses of
