SAN FRANCISCO NOTES.

tory clo.'ui-iip of ChriHtinas stock and is 

 <,natifit'(l that business lias held up well 

 liotween Christinas and New Year's. 



J)onioto Bros, are well satisfied over 

 holiday business. All seasonable stock 

 was sold out at their nursery at good 

 prices. Now they are receiving heavy 

 importations. 



For Christmas Podesta & Baldocchi 

 had a fine lot of azaleas from P. Fer- 

 rari's nursery, and Mr. Podesta says 

 they sold every one of them. Other sea- 

 sonable stock also was in splendid de- 

 mand here, making it a most satisfac- 

 tory holiday season. 



Pelicano, Rossi & Co., according to 

 Frank Pelicano, had the biggest Christ- 

 mas business in their history, and the 

 holiday falling on Monday distributed 

 the rush over three days and facilitated 

 deliveries. This firm made a specialty 

 of mixed flowering plant baskets, which 

 took exceptionally well. They had about 

 100 dozen lily of the valley, and these 

 were readily snapped up. Potted cocks- 

 comb sold well, as did cyclamens, prim- 

 ulas and begonias. The sale of the 

 latter was not urged here, however, as 

 the plants are easily broken in delivery. 



J. Eppstein, of the Art Floral Co., says 

 his company sold out its Christmas stock 

 and could have used larger quantities of 

 certain kinds of flowers. For instance, 

 the company was out of orchids two days 

 before Christmas; violets were short 

 and short deliveries were made on some 

 kinds of plants. This concern received 

 about forty dozen valley, for which it 

 received an average of $1.50 and $2 per 

 dozen, a high price here. 



Avansino Bros, are well satisfied with 

 their first Christmas business, as they 

 provided a large stock and sold out com- 

 pletely. They say the demand was for 

 good stock, prices apparently being no 

 object. This concern expected a nice lot 

 of azaleas for New Year's, as they were 

 a little late for Christmas. 



Despite the fact that the Emporium 

 closed at 6 o'clock December 23, and re- 

 mained closed until Tuesday morning, 

 Manager Picetti, of the flower and plant 

 stand, reports a close clean-up of holi- 

 day stock and says general business has 

 kept up well since. 



In their new Sutter street location, 

 the Misses Hannon enjoyed a splendid 

 holiday trade, practically everything in 

 the place being cleaned out at a com- 

 paratively early hour. They had a good 

 decorative business, etc., and expect to 

 continue busy throughout the winter 

 season. 



A full attendance is expected at the 

 January meeting of the Pacific Coast 

 Horticultural Society, as the election of 

 officers will take place, and special fea- 

 tures are included in the program. 



A. O. Stein reports a banner Christ- 

 mas business at his Sutter street store, 

 fancy baskets having had a good call. 



At Alfred Lundberg's store, 1440 Polk 

 street, no complaints are forthcoming, as 

 the holiday business in the new location 

 showed a substantial increase over the 

 records of former years. 



H. Plath has been granted a permit by 

 the board of supervisors for a 60-horse 

 power boiler, to be used in furnishing 

 steam for his greenhouses at 210 Law 

 rence avenue. 



A. J. Bossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., 

 has purchased a new 6cylinder car.
