The Market. 



The weather has been bright here 

 this week and so far this month we 

 have not had our dreaded dark Decem- 

 ber days. Trade has been good all 

 around and funeral work has helped to 

 keep the retailers busy. Boses are of 

 good quality, but the quantity is small. 

 White Killarney is scarce, as also is 

 Eichmond. Killarney holds pride of 

 place, the color being good and the 

 flowers of good substance. American 

 Beauties are more plentiful than they 

 have been at any time this month, but 

 more would be welcome, as they sell 

 well. Mrs. Aaron Ward is the outstand- 

 ing yellow, while Sunburst is hardly 

 seen. Carnations are grand and come 

 in on fine stems. Good Beacon are 

 never left- unsold. Pink Delight and 

 Winsor find ready buyers. A few 

 chrysanthemums are coming in, but 

 they do not amount to much, as they 

 are too scarce to make any impression 

 on the market. Violets are exceedingly 

 scarce, but sweet peas make up for 

 this shortage, as some fine flowers are 

 coming in. Poinsettias are arriving in 

 large quantities, also ardisias, cycla- 

 mens, begonias and primulas. Aspara- 

 gus is in good demand. 



Various Notes. 



A. N. Pierson is cutting some splen- 

 did poinsettias for this market. Eose 

 Milady is showing up so well that all 

 who see it say that it is the best red 

 rose on the market. 



George A. Parker has been appointed 

 director of Keeney park, and the fore- 

 man, George H. Hollister, has been 

 made superintendent. 



Thomas E. McClunie is out again 

 after a serious illness. 



The Quality Flower shop reports 

 business excellent and is looking for- 

 ward to a heavy Christmas trade. 



Frank Eanney has returned from a 

 short vacation aiM is looking much 

 better. 



It is reported that J. A. Brodrib has 

 withdrawn his case against the town. 

 The city proposes to extend Cemetery 

 street, which will necessitate the re- 

 moval of his greenhouses. W, S. C.

It won't cost much— to replace the old ice box 

 with a modern refrigerating apparatus— not 

 nearly so much in the long run as the contin-
