Gardenias are a little more plentiful, but cattleyas are getting quite scarce and prices are much higher. Pot plant trade is rather quiet this week. A considerable business is now being done in evergreen wreaths and other decorative material for the holi- days. Among the Retailers. The Houghton-CJorney Co. had an ex- cellent Thanksgiving business, not, however, quite equal to that of a year ago, this being the verdict of nearly all retailers seen. Chrysanthemums were the best sellers here, roses coming next. The writer noticed a charming basket arrangement of orchids here. Zygo- petalum Mackayi was tied around the liandles, cattleyas and yellow cypripe- diums filling the body. The mammoth pansy bunches here are always a fea- ture. At John J. O'Brien's commodious and well equipi)ed store, at 67 Beacon street, handsome evergreens in fancy urns and tubs jire lined up on both street fronts, the largest supply among retail stores in Boston. The interior is a veritable conservatory, with a num- ber of striking grouj)s of specimen fo- liage and flowering plants. Frank H. Houghton, the veteran designer, is still on deck here, and he reported an excel- lent Thanksgiving business, witli a rec- ord-breaker on tlio way for Christmas. A prettily arranged basket in Gal- vin 's Park street store was arranged with white chrysanthemums, cattleyas, Cypripediuni Maudia>, Badley roses an(l liouvardia Humboldtii. There were some handsome s]>ecimens of oranges. Erica melanthera and begonias here. John Eisemann, of the Beacon Florist, Inc., on Beacon street, was busy as usual, and the store here now has a much more commodious and up-to-date •appearance. Thanksgiving trade
