large one of Russell, Ophelia and Beauty 

 roses, white and pink chrysanthemums, 

 violets and narcissi, to be shipped to 

 Los Angeles. 



The heavy rain November 23 stopped 

 chrysanthemum shipments for a day or 

 two at the headquarters of the United 

 Flower & Supply Co, but the flowers 

 dried in time for many to be shipped 

 to outlying points for the Thanksgiving 

 trade. Large orders for violg^s were 

 filled also. In fact, holiday business 

 generally was excellent, according to 

 officials of this firm. Potted poinsettias 

 and cyclamens sold especially well lo- 

 cally. 



Domoto Bros, are well satisfied with 

 Thanksgiving business, having cleaned 

 up closely on all the stock they had to 

 offer. 



Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., has 

 no complaints to make about business, 

 as his force was rushed getting out 

 Thanksgiving orders for violets, roses, 

 chrysanthemums and other seasonable 

 stock. 



C. Kooyman sums up the stock situa- 

 tion and business in the few words: 

 "Flowers are scarce and high, but the 

 demand leaves nothing to be desired." 



Mr. Francis, of the Francis Floral 

 Co., has just brought out a line of pastel 

 pottery, with a view to doing away with 

 the use of crepe paper and mats on 

 Christmas plants. After much experi- 

 mentation and careful study he has 

 succeeded in getting colors to blend 

 perfectly with the different holiday 

 flowers. He is still supplying a big de- 

 mand for his novelty creations in lotus 

 and money plants. When the embargo 

 is removed on lotus, he plans to supply 

 other florists with his specialties, but 

 until that time he feels compelled to 

 conserve his supply for his own trade. 



The Art Floral Co. enjoyed a big 

 Thanksgiving business. P. V. Matraia 

 is gratified that his force has all re- 

 covered from the influenza before the 

 holiday rush. 



F. C. Jaeger, of F. C. Jaeger & Son, 

 said Thanksgiving business started off 

 with a rush and he looked for sales to 

 show a nice increase over last year's. 



The MacRorie-McLaren Co. put in a 

 handsome Thanksgiving window dis- 

 play, which caused many pedestrians to 

 halt in their course up and down Powell 

 street. Walter Hoff has just returned to 

 duty after being home sick for ten days. 



When visited the day before Thanks- 

 giving, Podesta & Baldocchi were 

 rushed getting out orders, indicating a 

 banner holiday business, and much the 

 same condition prevailed at the store 

 of Pelicano, Bossi & Co., on Kearny 

 street.

Thanksgiving and early sales gave 

 promise of a close clean-up. 



The Cottage Gardens Nurseries has 

 been granted permission by the Cali- 

 fornia corporation commissioner to sell 

 3,000 shares of its capital stock for cash 

 or in cancellation of indebtedness, and 

 also to sell 850 shares of its treasury 

 stock at par. 



The hearing of the contest to estab- 

 lish the heirship in the estate of John 

 Kelly, former gardener for Leland Stan- 

 ford, who left an estate of $200,000 to 

 charity, is under way. More than twen- 

 ty heirs from all parts of the United 

 States and Ireland have appeared to 

 claim relationship to the deceased, 

 whereas Mrs. Caroline Davis, in whose 

 care he was during the latter part of 

 his life, says he told her he did not have 

 an heir in the world. The former gar- 

 dener amassed his fortune loaning 

 money to state employees and in specu- 

 lating in bonds, stocks and swamp land 

 certificates. 



G. A. Nehrhood, of Paso Robles, Cal., 

 reports that he has ordered for himself 

 and others in that district a total of 

 67,000 almond and fruit trees for plant-

George H. Hecke, California commis- 

 sioner of horticulture, has called a con-

 to be brought before the state legisla- 

 ture at the coming session. M. M.

The Market. 



The flower stores are well supplied 

 with stock, especially mums. There are 

 roses, also, and some orchids. The 

 stores all wore a festive aspect last week 

 and every florist seemed rushed with 

 orders for decorations and the general 

 trade. 



Varioiis Notes. 



Clarke Bros, had an exceptional win- 

 dow display of beautiful baskets filled 

 with fruits, garnished with orchids and 

 mums of all sizes. Their display of 

 pompons was unique, no other store hav- 

 ing them. 



Martin & Forbes Co. had an attractive 

 display and Max M. Smith used potted 

 plants and mums with good effect.
