The Market. 



Christmas trade this year exceeded 

 the expectations of the florists. With 

 the price of cotton, -which is the main 

 issue in this "neck of the woods," at 

 about one-half of what it was last year, 

 aiid with a whole week of disagreeable, 

 stormy weather, a dull season was natu- 

 rally expected, but in the final wind- 

 up surprises were many. Everything 

 in the pot plant line was eagerly bought 

 up and at better prices than formerly. 

 Azaleas brought from $1.50 to $5; Eo- 

 man hyacinths in pans, 12^ cents per 

 bulb; poinsettias, $1 to $2.50 per pan. 

 Glory of Cincinnati brought $1 to $1,50 

 and more of them could have been sold. 

 Cyclamens were $1 to $2.50 each. Made- 

 up baskets sold much better than ever 

 and at highly satisfactory prices. 



In cut flowers American Beauties had 

 the call at $15 per dozen; Bichmonds 

 were $4; other varieties of roses, $3. 

 Carnations were $2.50 per dozen for 

 pink and white and $3 for red. Orchids 

 readily brought $2 per flower. As 

 usual, in the hurry and bustle, some 

 funeral work was called for. Holly, 

 on account of the woeful lack of ber- 

 ries, did not meet with general favor. 

 However, take it all in all, it was a 

 most satisfactory Christmas to the flo- 

 rists, but not to the general city trade. 



Various Notes. 



H. L. Von Trott, of the Morning 

 View Greenhouses, reports a ten per 

 cent increase at Christmas and is satis- 

 fled as to the amount of business done. 



W. B. Paterson, of the Bosemont 

 Gardens, reports an increase of ten

per cent. He had a considerable quan- 

 tity of orchids in stock and they were 

 sold quickly at good prices. His new 

 delivery wagon is certainly a beauty 

 and has been the subject of many fa- 

 I vorable comments. W. C. C. 



Augusta, Oa.— H. W. T, Balk, of 

 Balk's Nursery, reports that holiday 

 trade was twenty-five per cent ahead 

 of last season, in spite of a week of 

 rainy weather. There was a good de- 

 mand for both plants and cut flowers.
