potted plants left; they had, however, 

 a sufficient supply of azaleas on hand 

 to take care of the local New Year's 

 trade. Last week this firm was ship- 

 ping a good many violets and carna- 

 tions. The Domoto nurseries also had 

 a good cut of roses of all varieties on 

 hand. 



The United Flower & Supply Co. is 

 handling large quantities of carnations 

 this season. This firm has been quite 

 successful in shipping to the eastern and 

 <;entral states. Ice has been used to ad- 

 vantage and, contrary to the experience 

 of some shippers in learning that the 

 carnations did not arrive at their desti- 

 nation in good condition, it is said that 

 deliveries of carnations shipped by the 

 United Flower & Supply Go. were en- 

 tirely satisfactory. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. shipped enor- 

 mous quantities of roses during the holi- 

 days and H. Avansino states that the 

 «xcellenee of the crop this season 

 pleased all who ordered the McLellan 

 stock. While little heather was potted 

 for Christmas, the nursery reports that 

 a good cut will be rcadv for shipping 

 shortly. The heather that was seen in 

 the Bush street depot was of excellent 

 quality. 



J. A. Axell reports a holiday busi- 

 ness beyond all expectations. He is par- 

 ticularly well pleased with the Ferrari 

 rose stock this season; the roses were 

 in fine condition and sufficiently plenti- 

 ful to fiU all orders. Mr. Axell's force 

 was kept busy the last two days before 

 Christmas in making holly wreaths and 

 the sale of them was quite large. A 

 shipment of new autumn leaves from 

 the south arrived at Mr. Axell's estab- 

 lishment in time for the holidays. 



Gen. A. .T. Gooch has given up his lo- 

 cation on Bush street, above Grant ave- 

 nue, and is now situated much more con- 

 veniently at 537 Pine street on the cor- 

 ner of St. Anne street, in the center of 

 the wholesale district. Mr. Gooch is 

 Another shipper who had hoped to get a 

 little rest after the strenuous holiday 

 season, but he says that business i"s 

 keeping up so well that the rest will 

 have to wait. 



Mr. Healy, of the Market Flower 

 Shop, Seattle, Wash., was a visitor in 

 San Francisco last week. 



A. O. Stein's store, in Sutter street, 

 was a scene of continuous activity 

 throughout the holiday season. This 

 firm has been busy with decoration work 

 of various sorts and the day before New 

 Year's found the entire force working 

 at all possible speed to get the orders 

 out on time. A large number of special
