Flower Shop, expressed himself as well 

 satisfied with the holiday business. 



8. I'urdie is still a little under the 

 weather, but is at his post and an ex- 

 cellent holiday business was enjoyed. 



Never in the history of the e.stablish- 

 mcnt was such a fine cut of roses taken 

 from the Hoy F. Wilcox & Co. range at 

 Montebello as this Christmas. The 

 growers hit the market exaetiy. Much 

 of the stock was newly ]>lanted this year 

 and the quality was of the best. 



The E. C. Amling Co. has now ample 

 room in the new store and rejiorts an 

 exccllont Christmas business. Tiie rush 

 at this time has somewhat delayed the 

 work of lixing uj) the new oflico and 

 other details, hut this will have atten- 

 tion ;it once. The demaiul for xalley, 

 both in pots iind cut, is {'xccjit ion;illv

The Market. 



The fear that good stock would be 

 scarce for the holiday season was un- 

 grounded. Christmas eve the rainy 

 w(>ather was replaceil by a day of old- 

 time California sunshine, and the out- 

 door stock immediately benefited. Vio- 

 lets are now i)lentiful and are in excel- 

 lent sha]ie for shijiping. A few mums 

 were still available for New Year's. 

 Roses are dear, but they are of excel- 

 lent quality and are fairly plentiful, 

 both long ami sliort-steTiiined. Growers 

 wild held back their ruses for Clivistm.as 

 did nfit reckon with the unseasonably 

 cold spell that lasted during most of 

 Dect'mber. The roses that slniuld have 

 been on the m.arket came in just before 

 New Year's. However, there jtroved to 

 be suflicient roses to fill the exception- 

 ally he.'ivy Christmas demand. 



Narcissi have benefited by the rains, 

 which proveil detrimental to the mums. 

 Freesias. I';i]iei- Whites ;ind Chinese 

 lilies were abundantly displayed in the 

 market last week. There were enough 

 carnations to fill the demand. Last 

 week there was a hreathing sjiell, but 

 shijiping for New Year's was good and 

 ;ill the stock was in excellent condition 

 for carrying well. Some of the nurs- 

 eries were almost cleaned out of potted
