in redwood baskets of their own design, 

 which sell from $5 to $25, and have a 

 good call. P. V. Matraia says that they 

 are easy to handle and deliver, as well 

 as making a good display in the store, 

 and therefore are doubly satisfactory as 

 a holiday item. 



J. A. Axell is all smiles over the big 

 holiday shipping business which his staff 

 has just completed, followed by the rush 

 of local orders. With the exception of 

 good Eussell, he said that the market 

 offered more roses than he ever saw here 

 for this time of the year. Violets are, 

 however, in noticeably short supply.

 large cut of poinsettias several days

The Christmas Market. 



Last week indications were that the 

 Christmas business for 1921 would meas- 

 ure up to the trade's best expectations. 

 Early indications pointed to even a 

 scarcity of cut stock in a number of 

 lines, although some figure that last- 

 minute deliveries will make a strong 

 showing. Potted items are being fea- 

 tured in window displays, in individual 

 store advertising and in the community 

 advertising and early orders indicate 

 a good sale on these. The stock of poin- 

 settias offered this year has been the 

 subject of trade comment on its general 

 excellence, most of the growers having 

 better than average results on their 

 work. Cyclamens are another heavy 

 seller, and there has been a moderate 

 demand for primrose and pepper plants. 

 Orchids are scarce all along the Pacific 

 coast and the late deliveries of roses 

 have left much to be desired in the way 

 of quality. Long-stemmed stock is 

 practically unknown, with Ophelia the

best current offering. There was a real 

 shortage of carnations to report at the 

 beginning of last- week, and here again 

 fine stock is scarce. Probably the most 

 noticeable scarcity in the whole list is 

 to be seen in mums. Small stock is in 

 light supply, and growers had early in 

 the month disposed of their standards 

 for the Christmas delivery. Of the 

 strictly holiday lines, greens and holly 

 have enjoyed a good«local demand this 

 season, and the heaviest shipping run 

 in a period of years. As for quality, 

 the holly has been uniformly good and 

 more heavily berried than was the case 

 a year ago. Mistletoe has been in only 

 average demand and various lots show 

 a wide range as to quality. Texas stock
