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 It is reported that J. A. Brodrib has withdrawn his case against the town.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.
