The Market. 



The holiilay season just past has been 

 the best for all-around, business that 

 the local florists have enjoyed for sev- 

 eral years; stock of all kinds cleaned 

 up every day. 



Killarney roses, while lacking in 

 color just before Christmas, came in 

 fine at the last minute and for the last 

 ten days have been all that could be 

 desired. Richmond was in good crop, 

 but the call for red roses was heavy 

 and nearly all of the retailers over- 

 sold and had a hard time to fill all or- 

 ders for this color. Carnations were 

 about equal to demand and thie quality 

 was good. Violets were plentiful, but 

 the surprise of the week was that, al- 

 though the warm, open weather was 

 just suited to the wearing of corsages, 

 the demand was not what was expected. 



Pot plants of all kinds sold well; 

 some of the stores resembled Easter 

 in this respect, as the quality and quan- 

 tity of azaleas, begonias, etc., were 

 away above the standard usually seen 

 at this season of the year. Poiusettias 

 grown in pans were scarce and not as 

 good as usual, but there were plenty of 

 the cut ones in all grades up to $8 

 retail and they sold well; never before 

 have we had such a good year for this 

 grand flower. 



A few French Trumpets are on the 

 market ami sell on sight, and some 

 early tulips in red, yellow and white 

 are noted, but the stems are short. 

 White roses, white carnations and Pa- 

 per White narcissi, which usually go 

 slowly at this season, were all sold out 

 at good prices. Valley was scarce and 

 the quality not what it should have 

 been. 



Various Notes. 



Cleveland expects to have a special 

 car to Detroit for the rose and carna- 

 tion meetings, leaving the night of 

 January 0. About twenty florists have 

 signified their intention of going, and 

 any downstate florists who wish to 

 meet the boys here and go on this car 

 will please notify Frank Friedley, 

 Eocky River, O., secretary of the Flo- 

 rists' Club, and space will be reserved 

 for them.
