BOCHESTEK. 



The Market. 



From present indications it looks like 

 a merry Christmas for the florists of 

 the Flower City. Someone has figured 

 that close to $50,000 is spent here at 

 holiday time for greens, flowers and 

 plants. 



There is a strong demand for mistle- 

 toe, holly, laurel, southern smilax, 

 ground pine and ferns. There seems to 

 be no increase in price of greens over 

 last year, and no shortages, unless it 

 be in pine. 



American Beauties and carnations are 

 at the top of the market, and before 

 Christmas bid fair to reach a high rec- 

 ord mark; one dealer expressed the 

 opinion that Beauties would reach $24 

 a dozen. Violets are worth from 75 

 cents to $1 a bunch. 



Various Notes. 



The department stores use large quan- 

 tities of southern smiiaz and laurel for 

 decorations at this season; the five 

 stores in this city spend close to $2,500 

 for these two items, while the smaller 

 stores will, in the aggregate, use con- 

 siderably more than the big stores. 



E. C. Campbell, of 555 I^yell avenue, 

 suffered a small loss by fire on Satur- 

 day afternoon, December 10. The dam- 

 age was confined to a barn and con- 

 tents located near the greenhouses. 



E. F. E. 



Shelbume Falls, Mass. — L. E. Fuller 

 ships considerable quantities of cut 

 flowers to A. M. Cheney, at Orange, 

 Mass. 



Forest City, la. — Willard Secor, pro- 

 prietor of the Hill City Greenhouses, 

 has found pure peat to be a most ex- 

 cellent medium for ferns and begonias. 

 Last fall he filled his fern benches with 

 this material and says the stock never 

 did better. The peat is clean and abso- 

 lutely free from bugs or worms, and it 

 also holds the moisture longer than the 

 ordinary compost. 



Holyoke, Mass. — G. H. Sinclair has 

 worked up quite a collection of cypri- 

 pediums. His cattleyas are fine, but 

 affected with the fly. His L83lia anceps 

 will be in early, possibly for Christmas. 

 He has a seedling white carnation 

 which looks promising. Quite a little 

 excitement was caused when a deer 

 jumped through the roof of the house 

 of seedling carnations. Only slight 

 damage was done and someone had a 

 venison supper.
