Japanese Dwarf Potted Evergreens 



Best of all Christinas table decorations 



Their attractive appearance, easy culture, hardiness, dis- 

 tinctive originality and longevity have made these Japanese 

 Potted Evergreens most popular. They are grown in three 

 convenient sizes, each containing a good assortment of varie- 

 ties. All are well established in odd and fancy Japanese 

 Glazed Pots which make them most attractive.

farnations being small and woak- 

 stemmed. 



Violets sold well and the supply was 

 exhausted before the Thanksgiving sell- 

 ing began. Orchids were of good qual- 

 ity, but the supply was limited. Bou- 

 bardia was of good quality and in good 

 supply. Special Thanksgiving boxes 

 sold well. Plants of chrysanthemums, 

 begonias, cyclamens, etc., were well 

 grown and sold readily. A number of 

 prominent weddings calling for large 

 <Iocorations ended the busy week. 



Various Notes. 



Holm & Olson had a fine lot of mums 

 that was sold out for Thanksgiving. This 

 firm had decorations for several large 

 weddings and supplied the palms, bays, 



etc., for the opening of the Palace the- 

 ater. 



The Oakland Cemetery greenhouses 

 (lit their last mums last week, as also 

 did Frank Gustafson. 



L. L. May & Co. had a large showing 

 of lioth plants an<l cut flowers and did 

 a large business. 



,J. C. Christensen has a fine batch of 

 sweet peas in the large house across the 

 street from his range of houses. This 

 house was the one wrecked by a storm 

 last summer. 



Henry Puvogel says business is good 

 both in plants and cut flowers. 



The O. R. Eckhardt Co. reports heavy 

 shipping orders and a lively local busi- 

 ness.
