American Beauty, Killarney and Rich- 

 mond roses in the finer grades, a fair 

 supply in the. shorter grades, with the 

 probability of prices about equal to 

 those of last year. Carnations are un- 

 likely to be plentiful, though the stock 

 to ba-offered promises to be finer than 

 usual. All other flowers, with the ex- 

 ception ' of cattleyas, gardenias and it 

 may be valley, are likely to be in good 

 supply. There will be few chrysanthe- 

 mums. 



The Christmas green condition is un- 

 usual. The early October snows in the 



mountainous regions of Pennsylvania 

 prevented the usual gathering of lyco- 

 podium and that useful green is, in con- 

 sequence, extremely scarce. The De- 

 cember snows in Virginia, an almost 

 unprecedented thing, have interfered 

 with gathering boxwood sprays and con- 

 sequently boxwood, expected to be plen- 

 tiful last week, has failed just when 

 needed. To increase the shortage, 

 bronze galax, which was arriving in 

 quantity at this time last year, is com- 

 ing in slowly, only a case or two at a 

 time. Holly is good, also plentiful. 



The Christmas plant situation is 

 healthy. The demand has taken larger 

 quantities of fine blooming plants than 

 ever before. Choice cyclamen and poin- 

 settia are nearly all engaged. Foliage 

 plants and ferns are selling well, though 

 not so well as flowering plants. The 

 chief difficulty lies in the cold weather. 

 The shippers are holding shipments for 

 a rise in the mercury.
