A great many growers have a large home retail trade for Christmas and are not now sending much in, but there has been sufficient for the demand. Eoses have not been doing so well and have shown a softening tendency, es- pecially in short and medium stems. The majority of sales have varied from $6 to $16 per hundred, with some fancies higher, reds, of course, bringing the highest prices. Carnations have ad- vanced to $10 to $12 per hundred, and December 19, $12 per hundred seemed to be a general average for colored flowers. There is a heavy crop of white in sight and white, probably, will not realize much over $8 per hundred for the holidays. Beds, crimsons and Lad- die are bringing the best prices. Violets are rather a slow trade, with the most of them at $ per hundred; prices may run $1 more, later in the week, but will not reach last year's figures. Some growers report light picks in sight; others, unusually heavy. Chrysanthemums are still here, such as they are, but the present week should clean them up. Some fine single stems and pompons are still seen. Sweet peas are not of good quality. The best make $ to $3 per hundred.
