The weather in the week preceding 

 Christmas was not cold, but cloudy, 

 with little sunlight to bring the flowers 

 out, and this continued through Christ- 

 mas day, which was just cold enough 

 to demand careful wrapping, but there 

 was nothing to interfere with prompt, 

 easy delivery. 



Business was certainly on the boom 

 with all the stores and greenhouses. 

 Customers found no fault with prices 

 and bought freely, with the result that 

 approximately forty per cent more busi- 

 ness was done this year than last, 

 while prices were about the same. The 

 heaviest sales were in plants, while cut 

 flowers at the stores were rather short. 

 Tuesday following Christmas there 

 were six large funerals in town, which 

 cleaned up every vestige of flowers 

 from Christmas. 



There were plenty of flowers except- 

 ing red roses and carnations, which are 

 always in great demand at Christmas. 

 There were poinsettias in plenty, aza- 

 leas, cyclamens, peppers, Jerusalem 

 cherries, Bomans in pans. Paper Whites 

 and lilies, and all found ready sale at 

 good, stiff prices, but yet not exorbi- 

 tant. 



As usual, Brown's Seed Store made 

 a specialty of holly and monopolized 

 that end of the trade. One notable 

 fact is the decline in the sale of wreath- 

 ing. There was less sale for it this 

 year than ever before. 



The plant sales were much larger 

 than last year, with a bigger supply. 



New Year's is not to be compared 

 with Christmas, but trade was brisk. 



Henry Smith has a new auto delivery 

 car and it came in handy this year, 

 with his increased business. G. F. C.

 J. E. Detwiler's flower store on West 

 Broadway.
