Christmas Trade. 



Business was fully up to that of last 

 year. There was a large supply of all 

 seasonable plants and cut flowers, and 

 all sold equally well. Ferns, azaleas and 

 poinsettias were fine, as were many other 

 smaller plants. Some local dealers were 

 short of roses and carnations and had 

 to buy heavily from Chicago. The 

 weather was fine, but cold enough to 

 necessitate the wrapping of all plants, 

 and tliis entails much extra work. Amer- 

 ican Beauties sold as high as $14 per 

 dozen and other roses at $1.50 to $4. 

 Carnations brought $1.25 and $2. 



Various Notes. 



The William Blackman Floral Co. did 

 an immense Christmas trade and seemed 

 to be far ahead of last year. The 

 whole force was kept eontinually at work, 

 wrapping up plants, boxing cut flowers 

 and delivering. Their stock of plants 

 was excellent and varied, azaleas and 

 poinsettias being in greatest demand. 

 They had about enough cut flowers of 

 their own, but had to buy quite heavily 

 of other stock. They sold Beauties as 

 high as $14, other roses at $3 and $4 

 and carnations at $1.50 to $2. Lily of 

 the valley, bulbous stock, violets, etc., 

 were in great demand. 



Ben Kramer thinks trade was about 

 the same aa last year. He had a lot of 

 fine ferns, azaleas and other plants and 

 they were in demand. He ran short of 

 cut flowers, especially carnations, and 

 could have sold 500 more. He got $1.50 

 per dozen for carnations and $12 for 

 Beauties. He had several large single 

 orders, one being for fifteen dozen car- 

 nations. Besides his Christmas trade, 

 he had considerable funeral work, which 

 kept him rushed till the last day. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons enjoyed the 

 largest trade they ever had. They had 

 all kinds of pot plants, and load after 

 load went out all day Saturday and at 

 night. Three wagons were kept busy. 

 Their cut of roses and carnations was 

 heavy, especially roses, and of these 

 about 2,000 were Killarney, all on long 

 stems. The demand seemed to be for 

 the better grade of stock, with more 

 calls for $3 and $4 roses than for 

 cheaper stock. Hyacinths and Paper 

 "Whites sold especially well in pots. They
