Christmas Trade. 



Christmas trade was heavy, both in 

 plants and cut flowers. Ferns and 

 palms moved well, but blooming plants 

 took the lead. Azaleas, begonias, poin- 

 settias and cyclamens were the main 

 standbys in blooming stock, and they 

 sold readily and brought good prices. 

 Cut poinsettias sold well, especially for 

 church decorations. 



The stock of cut flowers was about 

 equal to the demand. Boses were in 

 good demand and the quality was ex- 

 cellent. Beauties sold well, considering 

 that prices were rather high; they 

 might have moved much better if the 

 prices had been a little lower. Carna- 

 tions took the lead, as usual. The sup- 

 ply was heavy, but they were about all 

 cleaned up and brought good prices, 

 especially the red sorts, which brought 

 $2 per dozen straight through. The 

 most of the carnations brought $1.50 

 per dozen, while a few in the smaller 

 grades sold for $1 per dozen. 



Violets were in good demand; though 

 the supply was heavy, they were about 

 all cleaned up. Valley and sweet peas 

 found a ready sale. Some extra fine 

 sweet peas were on the market, and 

 brought fancy prices. Smilax and 

 greens sold well and there was a good 

 supply on hand. 



Holly moved well; there was some 

 good holly on the market and some that 

 was exceedingly poor. There was a 

 great scarcity of wreathing and much 

 more of it could have been sold. Mistle- 

 toe moved well. Christmas trees were 

 at a great premium and people took 

 trees that had the tops cut out and paid 

 good prices for them; even the little 

 branches were worked oflE. Holly wreaths 

 were cleaned up in good shape and were 

 of good quality. Moss wreaths, with 

 immortelle and boxwood wreaths, moved 

 nicely. 



All the craft say it was one of the 

 best Christmas seasons for years.

J. A. Edman intends to engage in 

 the growing of dahlias here, and is col- 

 lecting a stock of the choicest varieties 

 for that purpose. 



William Briggs has shipped large 

 quantities of fancy and dagger ferns 

 this season. 



Alfonso Fanieuf has a large house 

 of cucumbers nearly ready to begin

 and vigorous.

 aster grower, will grow a few thousand 

 gladioli next season. L. M. G,
