The Market. 



Christmas week brought us the most 

 discouraging weather imaginable up to 

 December 24, when it changed for the 

 better. That beautiful day brought out 

 the shoppers early and all the flower 

 stores as well as the nurseries did an im- 

 mense business and the rush at the for- 

 mer was kept up until the midnight hour. 

 After that time the hundreds of orders 

 for cut flowers and plants were put up 

 for early delivery. 



Christmas day was as ideal as anyone 

 could wish it to be, and the sales equaled 

 those of the previous day. The great 

 select stock of adiantums, palms, azaleas, 

 Begonia Lorraine, cyclamen, and espe- 

 cially poinsettias, both in pans and single 

 plants, besides hundreds of planted bas- 

 kets and jardinieres, found eager buyers, 

 and the sale of cut flowers was enormous.

The favorite flowering plant was no 

 doubt tlie bright poinsettia, and the large 

 stock in the hands of all the local florists 

 was nearly cleaned out. Azaleas. Begonia 

 Lorraine and valley did not sell as well 

 this Christmas as in former years, al- 

 though the plants were fine. 



The custom of sending plants and cut 

 flowers for Christmas gifts increases here 

 every year, and taking into considera- 

 tion that the main buying of both was 

 done only on Christmas eve and Christ- 

 mas day, the output this year excelled 

 that of any other year.
