The Market. 



We had a grand New Year's day 

 here; in fact, it was more like Easter 

 as far as the weather was concerned. 

 Trade slackened up a little, but the 

 demand was just about as big as the 

 supply. Eoses still are on the scarce 

 side, as most of the local growers seem 

 to be off crop. The same must be said 

 in regard to carnations, although from 

 now on there will be enough to go 

 around. Violets are selling well and 

 some well grown stock is coming in, 

 from Rhinebeck as well as from local 

 growers. Few azaleas are to be seen 

 now, most of the growers having sold 

 every plant that had any flowers on it. 

 Cyclamens sold well, bringing as high 

 as $2 each for well grown plants. Be- 

 gonias met with a good demand and 

 sold at from $1 to $2.50 each. 



Various Notes. 



January 3 a severe wind storm 

 struck this town. It blew fifty miles 

 an hour for twenty-four hours without 

 abatement and did heavy damage, 

 uprooting trees and blowing down 

 fences. Some of the growers had a 

 great deal of glass broken and on 

 Saturday all hands were kept busy 

 doing repair work. 



John Coombs reports the best Christ- 

 mas and New Year's trade he ever has 

 enjoyed. He had to stop taking orders, 

 as he did not have stock enough to go 

 around. 



Martin Hibsam has returned from his 

 Christmas vacation, which was spent 

 with his parents at Trenton, N. J. 



Spears & McManus did a holiday 

 business away above last year. This 

 firm is handling some especially fine 

 carnations. W. S. C. 



Paris, Tex. — Kiley, whose flower store 

 is in the lobby of the Grand theater, 

 took advantage of the installation of 

 the parcel post by sending out, New 

 Year's eve, a postal card to customers 

 in surrounding towns, offering to de- 

 liver carnations at 75 cents per dozen 

 with the carriage prepaid. He headed 

 the card: "To Test the Efficiency of the 

 New Parcel Post," etc.
