Windier says business this Christmas was double,last year's. Oscar May, of Tappington, Mo., con- signed to this market a splendid cut of Seidewitz mums, which cleaned out early and at good prices. He expected a fine cut for New Year's. Mr. May says he should have a big crop of fancy Spen- cer peas in the next few weeks. The J. F. Ammann Co., of Edwards- ville, 111., had a fine cut of roses for Christmas. In the stock at C. A. Kuehn's were Premier, Bussell, Ward, Hoosier Beauty and Columbia in fine color and stem. Mr. Ammann spent the day before Christmas in the city looking over the market. J. J. B. BALTIMORE. The Market. The only difference between business this Christmas and that of former years was in prices. I started out by keeping a close watch on the wholesale end; there were all sorts of rumors to be heard of shortage of stock, but in not a single instance have I heard of a florist who was not successful in secur- ing ample stock to meet all demands. Of course there were cases where some- thing had to be substituted, but taking it as a whole there was enough to sat- isfy one of the greatest Christmas de- mands ever known. Beauties were short and all that were in sight sold for $150 per hundred. Hadley was substituted when they ran out; some specially fine ones were to be had with 48-inch stems, selling readily at $100 per hundred. Fine Premier and Columbia stock brought $50 and $60 per hundred; good Eussells went up to $75 and $100, with Ophelia and Killarneys at $25 to $30. Carnations were $15 per hundred; with Wards and all reds at $20.
