This Christmas goes on record as the best the trade ever had. Everyone has a report of an increase in sales, both wholesalers and retailers. Pot plants brought a good price. There was small demand for pot plants of the 25, 35 and 50-cent stock, which had a big run last year. Plants at 75 cents and up had the heaviest call and plants at from $2 to $4 were the favorites.

There was too much holly in this market, although a fair price was obtained for each case. Several. LXADXNO FLORISTS Geny Bros. SlSe Fifth Avenua No. NASHVILLE, TENN. "WE NKVKR SLKIP" Souses Nemphis
