Mullin shipped the Grossman Co. a sup- 

 ply of seed last February. The seed 

 was sold to Chesterfield and Dinvviddie 

 farmers, who this fall refused payment, 

 alleging that the seed was worthless 

 and would not sprout. The Grossman 

 Co. accordingly refused to pay the New 

 York concern from which it had se- 

 rured the seed, the balance of $1,700 

 due on the shipment. Jacot & Mullin 

 sued and after the ease had been in 

 court for a week a verdict was ren- 

 dered December 21."

The Market. 

 In speaking of Christmas trade, 

 there seems to be one general com- 

 plaint, and that is on the weather, 

 which was dull and rainy for three 

 weeks preceding Christmas. Naturally 

 stock in many lines was somewhat 

 short for holiday trade, just the time 

 when the florists needed the most abun- 

 dant supply. On the other hand, busi- 

 ness was fine and the demand exceed- 

 ingly great. Roses, and especially 

 Beauties, were scarce, while the call 

 for high-grade Beauties and Rhea Reids 

 seemed to be unceasing. The same con- 

 dition prevailed among the carnations. 

 Poinsettias, however, were in good sup- 

 ply and filled in well as a substitute 

 for other scarcer varieties of stock. 

 Yellow and white narcissi and Roman 

 hyacinths were also abundant, and sold 

 well where a cheaper flower was 

 needed. Lily of the valley, cattleyas 

 and violets, used in Christmas corsage
