holly shortage is particularly noticeable 

 this season. Several of the local retail 

 establishments had no supply at all just 

 before Christmas and were forced to 

 substitute other wreath materials at the 

 last. 



The United Flower & Supply Co. had 

 a large supply of potted stock on hand 

 for local consumption, but was forced 

 to refuse a large numljer of eastern or- 

 ders, due to the exceptionally heavy 

 business right in San Francisco. Sev- 

 eral thousand azalea, poinsettia, cyc- 

 lamen and begonia plants were in ex- 

 cellent shape for delivery early in the 

 week and the company anticipated an 

 entire clean-up on this class of stock. 



Domoto Bros, had practically no poin- 

 settias left by December 23 and Mr. 

 Domoto stated that, according to the 

 number of azalea orders on file on that 

 day, there would be no azalea plants 

 left by Christmas. The wholesale prices 

 of azaleas this year ranged from $7.50 

 to $10 each for good specimens. 



Mrs. Gooch, who assists her husband, 

 Gen. A. J. Gooch, in his business, re- 

 turned last week from an eastern trip. 

 She said that she was greatly pleased 

 v/ith the results of the trip and she 

 spoke of the cordial manner in which 

 she was received by the many flo- 

 Hsts whom she visited. Mr. Gooch 

 reports a constantly growing business, 

 but he was considerably handicapped 

 iu regard to violet shipments on account 

 of recent weather conditions, which 

 spoiled a large percentage of the imme- 

 diate crop. 



Joseph Thomas, formerly with the H. 

 M. Sanborn Co., of Oakland, is now 

 connected with the sales force of Jo- 

 seph's shop, in this city. 



C. Kooyman had a large supply of 

 holly, mistletoe and other Christmas 

 greens, in addition to a good stock of
