The Art Floral Co. hiis a window of

 mento, Cal., announcing the birth of a 

 son to Frank and Mrs. ("orato. The

The Market. 



Stock is more plentiful for this time 

 of the year than it lias been for 

 a number of years. Local growers 

 have been able to meet all demands 

 for roses except during the Christmas 

 rush, when some California stock sup- 

 plemented local supplies. Late varieties 

 of mums are still in the market and are 

 of good quality. Bulbous stock, such as 

 Paper Whites, freesias and hyacinths, 

 is coming in and finding a ready sale.

them unanimous in the decision that the 

 Christmas trade for 1920 was in excess 

 of previous years. Stock was good in 

 potted plants, plant baskets and cut 

 flowers. The weather was ideal for de- 

 liveries and no extra wrapping was re- 

 quired, as the temperature was above 

 freezing. 



The H. L. Olsson Co. had some fine 

 cyclamens. Its shipping business ex- 

 tended as far as Portland, Ore. The 

 evergreen festooning orders for this com- 

 pany this year were far ahead of other 

 years. 



The Spokane Greenhouses, Inc., was 



the only firm to offer begonias for the 

 holiday trade. 



Hoyt Bros. Co. had a wonderful dis- 

 play of poinsettias ana plant baskets. 

 Its stock of poinsettias was in keeping 

 with its reputation for these Christmas 

 plants. 



Jack Burt reports business good in 

 his newly acquired store, and expects 

 to spend a considerable amount of money 

 in remodeling. A new refrigerator and 

 cooling room will be installed. Miss 

 Helen Burt spent her vacation at Nel-
