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.

night December 24. He himself went 

 home at 9:30 Christmas morning, hav- 

 ing worked all that night and all but 

 three hours of the night before. No 

 telephone orders were taken at this es- 

 tablishment either December 23 or 24. 

 Business held up unusually well between 

 Christmas and New Year's. 



B. M. Joseph says his holiday busi- 

 ness was "the best ever," and the out- 

 look is so favorable in his estimation 

 that he has decided to make permanent 

 extra delivery facilities which he em- 

 ployed at Christmas time. Mr. Bian- 

 chini, a well known florist, who has been 

 with Mr. Joseph for some time, is new 

 buyer for this establishment, succeed- 

 ing A. Cuneo, who has been in poor 

 health of late. George Wagner is 

 pleased to announce he is back on the 

 job for good, having received his dis- 

 charge from military service while on 

 furlough in time to enable him to help 

 with the holiday rush. 



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

 says his firm was taxed to capacity to 

 fill its holiday orders. He has secured 

 the services of Miss Kegine Bartlett, 

 an experienced florist from Los Angeles, 

 Cal., and now has three ladies on his 

 staff. In this connection it may be 

 mentioned that more women now are 

 identified with the florists* shops here 

 than in pre-war times, but their num- 

 bers have never reached high propor- 

 tions, so men formerly in the trade re- 

 turning from the service probably will 

 have little difficulty in finding employ- 

 ment. 



A. J. Eossi, of Pelicano, Eossi & Co., 

 says, "Christmas business was wonder- 

 ful, beyond all expectations." He

figures his firm handled from sixty to 

 seventy-five per cent more business than 

 it did a year ago. The store next door, 

 used for the display and sale of flower- 

 ing plants, proved a big convenience. 

 In view of the considerable amount of 

 sickness around, Mr. Eossi was grati- 

 fied to have his entire force of experi- 

 enced workers on hand. He noted that 

 people seemed to have plenty of money 

 to spend, there being little hunting 

 about for small cyclamens or other small 

 plants. Mixed plant baskets arranged 

 by Frank Pelicano, of the firm, sold 

 especially well.
