Wm. Gardner deserves congratula- 

 tions for the large supply, especially of 

 Killarney, that he furnished P. J. 

 Olinger for the Yuletide business. Mr. 

 Gardner was in this city on Christmas 

 and New Year's.

The Market. 



With the Christmas rush far enough 

 in the past to permU an accurate esti- 

 mate, everyone reports business much 

 bigger and better than ever. Every- 

 thing sold well and all the stores were 

 cleaned right out. It seems that this 

 year the people had the money to 

 spend, and the public is each year be- 

 coming more and more educated to the 

 value of flowers and flowering plants 

 as Christmas gifts. Cut flowers of all 

 kinds sold well in the downtown sec- 

 tion in the bigger stores, but on the 

 outskirts the demand was not so good, 

 the high price holding back the buyers. 

 This was offset, however, by the num- 

 ber of flowering plants sold. The de- 

 mand for these was much larger than 

 in the past, and azaleas seemed to be 

 the favorites. Ferns were sold in big 

 numbers. The general run on azaleas 

 was from $2 to $5, while the best 

 brought $10 and in some cases more. 

 Naturally, red was the most sought- 

 after color, and Beauty and Richmond 

 roses were sold in large numbers. Red 

 carnations were cleaned out. 



The business in holly, mistletoe and 

 wreathing was immense. A great num- 

 ber of the uptown florists handled this 

 for the first time and made big money 

 on the sales. Then a number made up 

 wreaths and crosses of green material, 

 ;^i%h artificial red flowers, and these 

 -iv«fe' in good demand for placing on 

 graves.
