Killarney, but made a lower average. 

 White Killarney, Bride and Maid sold 

 for $20 and downvrard, the demand 

 being about equal to the supply. Phila- 

 delphia has never seen so many roses 

 before. 



Red carnations and the Wards 

 brought $15; select red, $10 to $12; 

 other colors, $6 to $8; ordinary, $4. 

 Carnations held their own in favor. 

 Double violets brought $1.25 to $2; 

 singles, $1 to $1.50. The demand was 

 excellent. Cattleyas brought $70 per 

 hundred; cypripediums, $15. Gardenias 

 were the only really scarce flower, the 

 price being $5 to $9. Valley was in 

 oversupply at $3 to $5. The best sweet 



peas brought $1. Callas sold for $2,50 

 per dozen. Easter lilies $10 to $15 per 

 hundred. Mignonette was $8; Paper 

 Whites and daisies, $2 to $3; poinset- 

 tias $3 to $4 per dozen. Greens were 

 about normal. The aged and open 

 stock was jobbed at a fraction of listed 

 prices. 



The Floral Barometer. 



The newspaper man knows that the 

 florists' supplies are an index to the 

 wholesale and retail business that is to 

 come. This is especially true of Phila- 

 delphia because the great florists' sup- 

 ply houses of this city do business over 

 the entire country. When they are busy 

 night and day for nearly a month before 

 the holidays, it is a pretty sure indica- 

 tion that the florists all over the country 

 have confidence in the prospect. 



H. Bayersdorfer said that over ninety 

 telegrams reached his house after busi- 

 ness hours December 17. In response 

 thereto, teams met an incoming steamer 

 that docked that afternoon at 4 p. m. 

 and by 5 a. m. Sunday the entire con- 



signment for his house had been received. 

 By that evening most of it had been 

 shipped to the customers. 



Various Notes. 



The business of the late J. William 

 Colflesh will be continued by his three 

 sons: J. William Colflesh, Jr., C. B. 

 Colflesh, and D. E. Colflesh, who have 

 been associated with their father at 

 Fifty-third and Woodland avenue. 



M. Bice & Co., firm, salesmen, packers, 

 bookkeepers and errand boys, say this 

 has been the greatest season on record, 

 and that their prestige of promptness 

 with orders has been mai»it«infj through 

 four weeks' overtime work. 



Emil Wohlert, of Bala, the noted 

 adiantum grower, captured several blue 

 ribbons with his fine Brahmas at the 

 poultry show held in one of the armories. 



Ernest F. Hoehl has been sending the 

 Leo Niessen Co. some mignonettes that 

 are a pleasure to behold. 



W. J. Palmer, of Buffalo, N. Y., paid 

 a brief visit to this city recently. 



E. Gumey Hill stopped on his way
