It is an ideal Friendly Greeting and an intimate personal gift as well. Christmas Cheer and Flowery are synonymous. would otherwise have been out shopping that day and deprived florists of much counter trade. Some districts were better favored and florists in those places experienced good cash sales and little difficulty in delivering orders. From those sections reports of the holiday's business are brightest. To the growers, of course, the weather of the preceding month had been a handicap, though whether more than usual is liard to say. The effects were most marked in cut flowers. The variety was notably small this year, and good stock was not overabun- dant. All of the best that could be had found a ready sale, but some poor stock could not be moved. Beauties were not plen- tiful. Carnations felt the effects of the weather, and the small supply available brought excel- lent prices. Red, naturally, was all too scarce. Violets were not in their usual supply and were missed in many stores. Sweet l)eas, because of the weather, cut less figure than usual. Paper Whites and Soleil d'Or helped out in some places, the former being quite abundant in some places. Other items did not cut much figure. Eoses were the big item and, as always, were too few in the good grades and too many in the poor. These condi- tions, one slrould remember, are generally stated, though some items varied widely in different localities. 'kwcMm.
