be continued in the future. This firm 

 liad a large supply of double violets, 

 which were in demand for corsage work, 

 especially when combined with gar- 

 denias. 



B. M. Joseph's store, on Grant ave- 

 nue, was the first to display the green- 

 house pussy willow, a number of the 

 cultivated sprays filling a large blue- 

 gray vase to advantage. Mr. Joseph 

 stated that the holiday business was 

 unusually fine this year. The stock of 

 novelties was practically cleaned out, 

 in addition to the quantities of potted 

 plants and cut stock. 



A. O. Stein's staff is resting up from 

 a holiday rush. Business last week was 

 reported as comfortably quiet, giving 

 them an opportunity to get the shop 

 refurnished for the spring season. The 

 early blossoms were seen here, attrac- 

 tively displayed — Roman hyacinths, 

 snowdrops, daffodils and greenhouse 

 sweet peas. Some fine poinsettias ar- 

 rived from the south and are being used 

 extensively for decorating.

Mrs. Copeland, on Sutter street, be-

The Market 



Although Portland, at Christime-time, 

 was just recovering from the greatest 

 snow storm and severest cold weather it 

 had ever experienced, business was ex- 

 cellent. People spent their money

freely. There was a large quantity of 

 stock and the quality was all that could 

 be desired. Prices were high, but stock 

 moved with great rapidity. The stocks 

 consisted chiefly of poinsettias, oranges, 

 begonias, azaleas, cyclamens, heather 

 and primroses; in cut flowers, mums, 

 carnations, roses and orchids. 



Various Notes. 



A great deal of damage and destruc- 

 tion was caused by the storm, affecting 

 nearly every florist. Some of those that 

 were hit hardest were Clarke Bros., Wil- 

 liam Hoffman, Carl Starker, A. Byron 

 and L. C. Shearer. L. T. Sebolt lost sev- 

 eral thousand gladiolus bulbs.
