The Market. 



The weather is just right for shop- 

 pers, with about the right amount of 

 chill to make flowers look right. The 

 retail shops are looking fine. We can- 

 not see much that ia really new, but 

 better taste is displayed each year in 

 arranging plant baskets and the vari- 

 ous kinds of artificial wreaths and 

 baskets. There are all kinds of wreaths, 

 including ruscus, boxwood and statice, 

 with all the variations. Small arti- 

 ficial Christmas trees with small cones 

 and red candles are attractive. The 

 retailers have had a splendid week, 

 there being much more than the usual 

 demand for cut flowers for the week 

 before Christmas, when the trade usu- 

 ally lets down, but there has been no 

 trouble getting all the good stock 

 wanted excepting carnations, which 

 continue scarce. 



The wholesalers have had a good 

 week, handling quantities of stock and 

 cleaning up every day. Boxwood got 

 scarce during the week, but the deal- 

 ers filled all orders placed in advance. 

 The fellows who waited were the ones 

 who hunted, but there is still some 

 coming in that will help them out. In 

 the green goods market good holly 

 and holly wreaths are scarce and laurel 

 has doubled in price in the yards. Wild 

 smilax shippers are evidently trying 

 to put the smilax market in the same 

 shape the holly market has been for 

 years. No one here will order holly. 

 They wait and buy it in the yards de- 

 livered for less than the dealers ordi- 

 narily pay for it. Wild smilax could 

 be bought December 21, good, fresh 

 stock, right off the car, from the com- 

 mission men at $3.50 per case, and if it 

 should not move readily might sell for 

 less. Christmas prospects among the 

 wholesale men are bright at present. 

 The only trouble looked for is a short- 

 age of carnations, but roses are fine 

 and will be in good crop. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel McClements was on the sick 

 list last week. 



Ben Elliott has sold everything he 

 had ready for Christmas, so took a 

 few days off with a case of the grip, 

 but is out again. 



"Billy" I^we, the green goods man, 

 is on the job as usual, with Christmas 

 trees and all the side lines, and is 

 doing a fine business. Hoo-Hoo. 



Tuxedo Park, N. Y.— Patrick Glynn, 

 who for a number of years has been 

 head gardener for A. Monell, continues 

 in that position, reported recent addi- 

 tions to the staff there being of assist- 

 ants to Mr. Glynn.
