better than he expected. The recent 

 rains have stimulated the purchase of 

 rose bushes and ornamental shrubs. 

 Due to the scarcity of stock of this 

 character, most of the retailing nurs- 

 erymen expect an early call for it. 



The potted plants from the Cottage 

 Gardens Co., of Eureka, are coming in. 

 This stock is about a month ahead of 

 the Belgian stock and is said to be in 

 first-rate condition. 



The C. Kooyman Co. is receiving reg- 

 ular shipments of poinsettias from the 

 southern part of the state and Mr. 

 Kooyman reports a fairly large demand 

 for the blooms. 



The staff of Enomoto & Co. is exceed- 

 ingly busy with eastern orders for Cali- 

 fornia red berries, woodwardias, 

 thistles, etc., in addition to the usual 

 violet trade, which is quite good this 

 '' year. The violets are much improved 

 I over those of last week, some of which 

 * were damaged by the severe wind storm. 



Domoto Bros, are shipping large 

 orders of violets both to the east and 

 the northwest. Their violet stock is 

 much improved since last week. Some 

 fine azalea plants have been taken from 

 the nurseries already and Mr. Domoto 

 says that there will be a good supply 

 of poinsettia plants ready for the holi- 

 days. 



A splendid showing of ferns was seen 

 at the United Flower ft Supply Co. 

 store, on Bush street, last week. This 

 concern has a good-sized stock of potted 

 plants, including cyclamens, begonias, 

 Boston ferns, palms, etc. In addition, 

 the company has a good stock on hand of 

 dried Japanese lotus seed pods, which 

 are greatly in demand by florists for 

 decorative work. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. is moving 

 large quantities of violets just now and 

 is busy keeping up with rose ship- 

 ments. The cutting of American Beau- 

 ties has commenced at the nurseries 

 and Henry Avansino, manager of the 

 Bush street store, states that the de- 

 mand for Beauties promises to exceed 

 that of last year. 



. J. A. Axell is busy getting settled in 

 the enlarged quarters. The store now 

 has a main entrance of its own at 463 

 Bush street, which will add greatly to 

 the convenience of handling trade. 



W. A. Moore, of the Hollywood Gar- 

 dens, of Seattle, was in San Francisco 

 last week, calling on the trade and 

 doing some holiday buying in the line 

 of gift novelties, fish aquaria and the 

 like. 



Mrs. Meldrum, of the Meldrum Floral 

 Shop, at Sacramento, Cal., was another 

 visitor last week. 



-Top Varsi, of Richmond, has been 

 commissioned to do the holiday street 

 J.-oArations for the Merchants' Associa- 

 tion of the Richmond district. He 

 plans to use redwood garlands and 

 wreaths and California red berries. 



The Nelligan Sisters report a home 

 wedding order in which chrysanthe- 

 mums, azaleas and pink roses will be 

 used. 



For a wedding of considerable size, 

 held December 13, the decoration was 

 provided by A. O. Stein. The room in 

 which the ceremony was held had a 

 background of redwood, with yellow 

 and gold chrysanthemums for the main 

 color note. Poinsettias, arranged not 

 too prominently, gave the holiday at- 

 mosphere to the affair. The bride's 

 bouquet was of orchids and gardenias. 

 This shop will also decorate a wedding 

 which is to be held in the Empirn room
