X&VHS tie prophecy, the city florists
will be happy. That will
mean that the thousands Of boxes Of
Christmas flowers which must be de-

But should there be freezing weather.
every flower must be packed In cotton.
which doubles the labor and the time
necessary. Even with the mild Christ
mas, which is the florists delight. the
force in the big retail flower stores
works all night the night before Christ
mas. From midnight until O'Clock
In the morning all hands are busy
packing the boxes which In q few
hours are to convey Christmas remem-
brances. At o'clock the delivery
wagons start, and before noon all the
fragile blooms have reached the fem
mime hands for which they were pur-
chased. Probably 10000 such boxes
are delivered every Christmas morn
ing In New York. One dealer In q
fashionable residence district has sent
out between 800 and 400 every Christ
mas morning for many years.
The "mixed box" ranges from $40
to $50 in price. 1t is very modest
little box for the first price-just half
dozen roses, dozen carnations. a
bit Of christmas green" In the $50
box there will be probably half a
dozen American Beauties. half a
dozen long-stemmed liberty roses of
the rich, velvety, deep crimson vari-
ETY.; some violets, some "valley." some
mignonette to sweeten the whole box ;
perhaps some sweet peas and hya.
cinths, bit Of heliOtrope and always
some holly and a red satin ribbon to
tie the whole.
These expensive boxes are simply
pretty trifes, sent to the rich, by
those who are not sufficiently indebted
or on sufficiently intimate terms to
send more costly or substantial gifts.

Fifty dollars for flowers that fade in
day makes the attention more deli

amount put into some more durable
trifle.

color. and red carnations and red roses
