ton Grove. If it goes through it will 

 necessitate clipping off one corner of 

 the Wittbold greenhouses, but Otto 

 Wittbold says the advantages of being 

 on a main highway will far more than 

 offset the disadvantages. The dirt 

 paths in the greenhouses are rapidly 

 giving way to new cement walks. 



William Homburg was a New Year's 

 addition to Phil Schupp's staff at the 

 J. A. Budlong store. He has been with 

 J. F. Kidwell & Bro. for some time. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. recently filled 

 an order for 600 Perle roses. An order 

 for that many of any other variety 

 would be easier. 



Bassett & Washburn have begun to 

 cut from Formosa lily bulbs of the 

 1911 crop and say they are the cleanest 

 lot of bulbs they ever have seen, pos- 

 sibly two per cent diseased. 



E. E. Pieser and wife leave January 

 7 for a trip to Philadelphia and New 

 York. Mr. Pieser was 49 years of age 

 New Year's day. 



C. M! Dickinson hopes to get away 

 in a few days, accompanied by Mrs. 

 Dickinson, for a much needed vacation. 



Sam Pearce cut the first trumpet nar- 

 cissi last week, and August Juergens 

 had Golden Spurs ready the same day. 



Visitors this week: I. Rosnosky, 

 of H. F. Michell Co., Philadelphia; Ed- 

 ward Amerpohl, Janesville, Wis.; Miss 

 Rennison, Sioux City, la.; Miss A. B. 

 Risser, of Mosbask Greenhouse Co.,

The Market. 



A eold snap with ice and snow made 

 last Week most seasonable and much 

 more like holiday time. The spirit of 

 Christmas and the holidays; which 

 seemed lacking ten days ago, is surely 

 here now, and social functions are 

 numerous indeed. There were several 

 large receptions booked for New Year 's 

 day and there were a number of smaller 

 affairs, several weddings and dinners 

 for January 1. Business in general 

 kept right up even after Christmas. A 

 great many funerals have kept down- 

 town florists busy during the week. 

 The rush preceding Christmas was 

 somewhat broken because Christmas 

 came on Monday; however, it was the 

 same trying circumstance of over- 

 worked clerks and employees. One en- 

 terprising florist in Buffalo had a day 

 and a night shift, thus making it easier 

 all around, and he got much more work

out of his men and much better service, 

 to say nothing about the good cheer 

 and friendly feeling between employer 

 and employees. 



Flowering plants and fancy baskets 

 are still selling well. Poinsettias were 

 in great demand this year, the demand 

 in some cases being greater than the 

 supply. Lorraine begonias did not have 

 the run this year that they usually do. 

 Araucarias, ardisias and cyclamens 

 were in great favor and brought big 

 prices. 



Boxwood balls were popular during 

 the holidays, brightened with winter 



berries and red ribbon, ruscus and red 

 immortelles. Artificial poinsettias 

 seemed to be a thing of the past, as few 

 were sold. They have been cheapened 

 in the eye of the more artistic public. 



Various Notes. 



E. A. Fry has entered the employ 

 of E. C. Campbell. 



Clarence Kazor put in Christmas 

 week with the Rochester Floral Co., 

 and so did Mr. Lester. 



Salter Bros, say that they cannot 

 complain about the holiday trade — it
