The Market. 



Business for tho holidays has been 

 away ahead of previous years and the 

 local craft is wearing "the smile that 

 won't come off." The weather man 

 was fairly good to us, giving us a 

 bunch of mild weather December 23, 

 24 and Christmas day, and little 

 wrapping was needed, which no doubt 

 was a big lift to the store people. Al- 

 though plants arc becoming more popu- 

 lar for Christmas each year, cut flowers 

 are still the leading factor, and top 

 prices were realized on everything, with 

 all lines a little short of demand. 



Violets, valley, orchids and gardenias 

 were the one best bet for corsage work, 

 and Rose Mrs. Aaron Ward came in 

 for a good call in the same line, but 

 the supply of them was rather short. 

 Poinsettias were in good shape, but 

 demand for them was not as good as 

 in previous years, although made up 

 in pans and baskets they had a good 

 season; in fact, the nice, short plants 

 were a little scarce. Other plants, such 

 as azaleas, begonias, rhododendrons and 

 pans of valley, were cleaned out, as well 

 as the various berried plants. 



Holly and other Christmas greens 

 were a little short of demand, holly 

 especially, as there was none to be had 

 after Friday. On the whole, it was of 

 better quality' than in former years. 

 Quantities of winter berries were dis- 

 posed of. 



Funeral work since Christmas has 

 kept all lines of stock cleaned up and 

 prices have not changed much during 

 the week. Several social functions for 

 New Years 's eve and day kept local 

 decorators on the jump and some nice 

 jobs were sent out. K. R. 



Coldwater, Mich. — Van Aken Bros, 

 say holiday trade was a little ahead of 

 last year, with plants leading.

There is no danger of fire; no iinoke, dirt or gases to injure 

 the plants. They burn Lehman Coal, which costs less than 

 half a cent per hour. 49*400,000 Lehman Heaters are in 

 use, which clearly shows they have merit. Florists everywhere use and recommend them
