There are not too many good flowers of any kind except, per- haps. Paper Whites. There are many low-grade mums, which are not so easy to sell at good prices as they were earlier in the season, partly because the shipping demand has disappeared. The principal supply is of roses, carnations not being abundant, and of miscella- neous items there are only moderate quantities. Christinas Prospects. This Chistmas is unlike any other Christmas, in several respects.
