The Market. 



The week before Christmas was the 

 worst that ever happened as far as 

 weather conditions were concerned. It 

 was dark and rainy almost every day 

 except Saturday, which kept back trade 

 until the last minute, but from such 

 reports as have come in I believe the 

 retail trade was up to former years 

 with every one, and much better with a 

 few. Plants were the principal feature 

 until Saturday and they really never 

 had finer or more beautiful ones to 

 offer. Each year the plantsmen seem 

 to grow better plants and make more 

 beautiful arrangements and there has 

 been a continued effort put forth to 

 make them take the place of cut flow- 

 ers, but while there are more plants 

 sold early in the week, when it comes 

 right down to the last day nothing but 

 flowers will fill the bill. 



The wholesale houses report a good 

 Christmas and say that though business 

 was late in coming in, the result was 

 up to their best expectations, especially 

 on such stock as could be sold at rea- 

 sonable prices, and there were no ex- 

 ceptionally high prices asked for any- 

 thing. Stock in general cleaned up 

 nicely except for quite a lot of Paper 

 White narcissi and poor violets. 



The green goods men cleaned up 

 nicely, but most of their stock sold at 

 low prices. 



The growers had a hard time of it 

 with only part of one day's sunshine 

 in three weeks and raining most of the 

 time, which had a bad effect on Pink 

 Killarney, taking most of the color 

 out of it and shortening up the cut to a 

 great extent. However, they had a 

 good cut, everything considered. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



Milford, Mass.— W. D. Howard, of the 

 Morningside Greenhouses, has 1)uilt a 

 garage at the rear of his home, on South 

 Main street, to accommodate his two 

 automobiles. 



Holyoke, Mass. — Gallivan Bros, are 

 planning the erection of two more green- 

 houses, each 35x200, on their, land at 

 Smith's Ferry in the spring. One of 

 the houses will be used for chrysanthe- 

 mums. The firm already has green- 

 houses both at Smith 's Ferry and South 

 Hadley Center.
