cost of stock seemed to make little dif- 

 ference with the buying public. After 

 a few words of good-natured complaint 

 in regard to the high cost of living, the 

 customer departed, leaving just as large 

 an order behind as he would have left 

 had the price been less. 



Wholesalers and shippers worked 

 "full speed ahead" from the first of 

 the week till Christmas day. In many 

 cases the force stayed on the job until 

 midnight in order to get all out-of-town 

 business cleaned up before the last-min- 

 ute rush of local orders. A fair stock 

 of potted plants, azaleas, cyclamens, be- 

 gonias and poinsettiaa was on hand 

 early in the week, but most of the whole- 

 salers stated that there was only enough 

 to supply the florists of San Francisco 

 and that many eastern orders had to be 

 turned down. The poinsettias were in 

 fine condition, as was most of the other 

 stock this year. While the poinsettias 

 were not overplentiful, the quality was

Various Notes. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. is cutting 

 Russell roses this year that are espe- 

 cially worthy of note H. Avansino, 

 manager of the San, Francisco depot, 

 states that the crop two weeks ago was 

 one of the largest and finest ever 

 brought in from the McLellan nurseries. 



The buds were large, firm and excellent 

 for shipping, with strong, sturdy stems 

 and wonderful foliage. Another excep- 

 tionally large cut was made the day be- 

 fore Christmas, sufficient to fill the local 

 demand. Mr. Avansino remarked that 

 a large part of the earlier crop had been 

 sent out of town. 



J. A. Axell had an extra force of men 

 at work on wreath and garland orders. 

 Mr. Axell states that his Christmas 

 business was almost overwhelming. A 

 shipment of Victoria holly was received 

 by him almost at the last moment, fill- 

 ing in nicely, as the Portland holly crop 

 was practically a failure this year. The
