With Christmas over and business 

 again back to normal, a reflection on 

 the week creates a smile for the florist. 

 To all inquiries the reply is unanimous. 

 Business exceeded expectations and was 

 way ahead of former years. Practically 

 everything sold out. One of the lead- 

 ing florists closed the doors at 5 p. m. 

 Christmas eve and displayed a "Sold 

 Out" sign. It was necessary to check 

 up to find out where they stood. Eed 

 roses and carnations were in the 

 greatest demand, but everything moved 

 well. Poinsettias, azaleas, cyclamens 

 and Lorraines brought firm prices. 

 With replenished stock, business was 

 resumed Christmas day, but with the 

 same result, being practically exhausted 

 by noon. Holly wreaths and all deco- 

 rative greens moved well. Violets, 

 local and California, were handled in 

 enormous quantities, only to be ex- 

 hausted before the day was finished.

The Market. 



Christmas business in flowers this 

 year may fairly be said to have 

 eclipsed any previous year. The stores 

 were all heavily stocked and at the 

 close of December 25 there was hardly 

 a cut flower or pot plant remaining. 

 The public seemed to spend money 

 much more freely than other years 

 and expensive plants, that usually are 

 slow to sell, moved off as fast as the 

 cheaper grades. While the sale of 

 growing things and cut flowers was a 

 phenomenal one, there was a larger 

 demand than ever before for artiflcial 

 flowers. Made-up baskets of these 

 were constantly called for. The stock 

 of cut flowers was unusually large and 

 most growers of carnations in this 

 vicinity were in heavy crop, but, not- 

 withstanding the extra supply, orders 

 had to be turned down wholesale. The 

 average price was $1.50 and $2 per 

 dozen. Roses, which came from far 

 and near, were cleaned up as fast as 

 they arrived. A few chrysanthemums 

 were on sale, but they were all gone 

 €arly the Tuesday before Christmas. 

 Bulbous stock was anything but plenti- 

 ful, as nothing but Romans and Paper 

 Whites were offered. The general dis- 

 play of pot plants was superior to that 

 of former years, fine plants of Lor- 

 raine, Cincinnati, cyclamens, primulas, 

 poinsettias, Christmas cherries, etc., 

 attracting buyer and seller alike. Al- 

 leys and vacant blocks were filled with 

 venders of Christmas trees, holly 

 wreaths, etc., and at every possible
