color. Their stocks of plants included 

 poinsettias, begonias, Japanese azaleas, 

 in every shade of red and pink, cycla- 

 mens and primulas. Quantities of pot- 

 ted heather plants were to be seen and 

 some of the stores had banks of heather 

 bloom. Ferns, berries and wreaths 

 were abundantly displayed and these, 

 with the roses, carnations, a few late 

 mums, freesias, etc., added richness to 

 the displays. 



"The flower business this season did 

 not seem to be affected by the stagna- 

 tion that was felt in other lines," said 

 Mrs. R. E. Darbee. "When prices of 

 many commodities jumped up, those of 

 flowers were not advanced in propor- 

 tion. The other commodities then took 

 a slump, but people did not do the usual 

 buying. Many of them turned to flow- 

 ers for gifts. The result was that the 

 florists had a splendid holiday trade." 

 Mrs. Darbee added to the holiday at- 

 tractiveness of some of her potted poin- 

 settias by putting clever little figures 

 of Father Christmas on the branches. 

 One of her windows showed a regular 

 tree of English holly. 



C. Kooyman & Co. had one of the 

 most brilliant holiday displays in the 

 city. It consisted of potted plants, 

 masses of ferns, heather and berries, all 

 attractively arranged. 



General A. J. Gooch shipped some of 

 the last mums of the season for the 

 holidays. 



His growers are sending J. A. Axell a 

 number of fine freesias. He had an at- 

 tractive window display of Jerusalem 

 cherries last week. 



Roses and freesias are coming in from 

 the nurseries of the E. W. McLellan Co., 

 although the plantings were made for 

 the big crops to begin arriving about 

 the middle of January. "Roses are 

 scarce now, but will be scarcer then," 

 was the prediction made by this com- 

 pany. 



Domoto Bros, state that roses were 

 high for Christmas, but moved well. 

 They had good roses and potted plants 

 from their nurseries and found business 

 excellent. 



Enomoto & Co. had excellent freesias 

 and narcissi from their nurseries. Their 

 shipments of California Christmas ber- 

 ries were made to all parts of the coun- 

 try. 



The United Flower & Supply Co. 

 coaxed the late mums successfully and 

 had an attractive display of outdoor 

 flowers, ranging from tiny pompons to 

 good-sized blooms. This firm imported 

 some hand-painted lotus sets from 

 Japan. The blooms, leaves and pods

B. M. Joseph recently designed the 

 floral decorations for a rainbow wed- 

 ding. The bridesmaids carried silk 

 hats filled with flowers and the maline 

 lily, carried by the bride, was filled with 

 valley. 



The Misses Hannon put on ten extra 

 girls during the Christmas rush to keep 

 up with the demand for their miniature 

 redwood wreaths. These small tributes 

 from the California woods have been 

 sent to Europe, Canada, Asia and other 

 distant points, and it seems impossible 

 to make the supply meet the demand.
