Trade Follows the Flag 



This has long been our motto and we will 

 not depart from it either in 



1919 

 or any other year. 



And our prices are right on all classes of flowers, 

 greens, supplies and everything in the trade.

Christmas plants. Christmas eve there 

 was every indication of a close clean-up. 



The MacEorie-McLaren Co. did a 

 rushing business in flowering plants, 

 both wholesale and retail, the nursery 

 being sold out several days before 

 Christmas on everything except stock 

 reserved for the retail trade of this 

 firm. Mr. Stelling, manager of the 

 store, said December 23 and 24 were 

 banner days in the sale of cut flowers 

 as well as plants, notwithstanding the 

 high prices of the former. 



The Western Evergreen Co. reports 

 the heaviest holiday business it ever 

 had, the only difficulty being to get 

 stock to fill orders. 



J. A. Axell, manager for the E. W. 

 McLellan Co., is wearing the smile that 

 will not come off, as a result of the best 

 Christmas business in the history of his 

 firm. This concern had a big cut of 

 roses, but not enough to fill the demand, 

 so the entire stock cleaned up early at 

 comparatively high prices. 



C. Kooyman is well satisfied with 

 holiday trade. He reports there was 

 no effort in disposing of all the flowers 

 he could get. 



The force of the United Flower & 

 Supply Co. had hands full caring for 

 the holiday trade and had to disappoint 

 some of its customers on account of in- 

 ability to get stock to fill orders. 



Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., was 

 swamped with violet orders, but suc- 

 ceeded in getting enough stock to do a 

 banner shipping business on this flower. 

 He also had a fine cut of roses, which 

 proved a profitable source of supply for 

 holiday trade.

B. M. Joseph made a specialty of 

 fancy basket arrangements and ready 

 customers were at hand to take all he 

 had to offer. 



The Art Floral Co. put on several ex- 

 tra salesmen for the holiday rush, but, 

 even so, the force had all it could do 

 to handle the customers December 23 

 and 24. 



"Rushed to death," was the greeting 

 received at Albert O. Stein's place, in 

 Sutter street, December 23. He made 

 a special feature of fruit baskets, which 

 proved popular among discriminating 

 customers. On account of the scarcity
