The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JANUARY 4. 1900. 



OAKLAND, CAL. 



Our Christmas trade was the flnest 

 in many years. The weather v.'as 

 splendid and everybody connected with 

 the business were liept a.s busy as bees. 



Cut flowers, holly, redwood wreaths 

 and Christmas trees were most in de- 

 mand. Plant sales were poor, which 

 caused a surprise, as many of the 

 stores had made fine displays of potted 

 plants. Violets were scarce and the 

 demand was great for them. The 

 Christmas prices were as follows: 

 Beauties. $.5 to $S per dozen; Brides 

 and Bridesmaids, $2 per dozen: Peries, 

 $1.50 to $2; Cecil Brunners, 2.5 cents; 

 La France, $1 to .$L50; Portias and 

 Seotts, 35 cents: Flora Hill, 50 cents to 

 $1; Bradts, $1 to $L50; mixed fancies, 

 75 cents to $1. Bulb stock went slow- 

 ly. Koman hyacinths, 25 cents; free- 

 sias. 35 cents; lily of the valley, 75 

 cents; smilax, $10 per 100; asparagus, 

 .$15 per KX) strings; poinsettias, $10 to 

 $15 per- 100. The poinsettia sold well 

 at a good profit to the retailer. Vio- 

 lets, Princess of Wales, $2 and $2.50; 

 California, $1.50 to $2.00 per dozen 

 bunches. 



N. Symacopulos, our Broadway flor- 

 ist, was well satisfied with his Christ- 

 mas trade; 500 wreaths were disposed 

 of at prices ranging from 25 cents lo 

 $3 each. Mr. S. felt a little uneasy 

 about his poinsettias. not knowing how 

 they would take in this market. How- 

 ever, they soon caught public fancy in 

 its flight and sold like hot cakes. Mr. 

 S. declares he will arm himself with a 

 larger supply next year. 



La Fleur de Lis, on Washington 

 street. Mme. Prentice, the owner, re- 

 ports a fine Christmas trade. English 

 holly, of which they carried a fine 

 stock, was sold out clean. Also were 

 their Princess of Wales violets, for 

 which this establishment is noted, ths 

 stock offered being the finest in town. 



H. S. Sanborn and his assistants 

 were kept as busy as beavers getting 

 out Christmas orders, of which he had 

 a large share. Mr. S. reports business 

 40 per cent better than last year. 



E. Gill reports a very busy Christ- 

 mas with them. Plant sales were slow, 

 their call being chiefly for cut flowers, 

 holly, berries and wreaths. 



Mr. H. Morse, who some months ago 

 opened a cozy little store near the en- 

 trance of the Mountain View Ceme- 

 tery, was well satisfied with his share 

 of Christmas trade. A few dozen spikes 

 of gladiolus were to be seen on sale at 

 this place on Christmas day, which 

 seems unusual for this season of the 

 year, being cut from outside. .1. N. 



TOLEDO, 0.— Mr. O. E. Schmidt, 

 who about one year ago established a 

 grecnliouse business on East Broad- 

 way, which he has conducted tiuKe 

 successfully, has recently leased liis 

 plant to Mr. Charles Rode, one of Mr. 

 Sigrist's assistants.

 building a new house 30x110 and are
