 a midwinter plant is erroneous. Leaf 

 dropping in winter is due to overwater- 

 ing. Crotons must be kept dry in the 

 house. A feature of the Christmas de- 

 mand was the repeat orders for ferns. 

 These were used with great freedom in 

 baskets and hampers of the fancy- 

 leaved varieties of the Boston type."

The Market. 



Although, after the holiday rush, busi- 

 ness generally drops off considerably, 

 it can be said that the last week, with

 meet all demands, and consequently 

 keeps up the price. Boses are about
