KO much. However, our percontaRC of 

 profit was higher than it was last year." 

 J. A. Axell believes that the local rose 

 growers would have reaped a much bet- 

 ter holiday harvest if they had given 

 some definite indications beforehand of 

 what prices were going to be. "Local 

 growers had an abundance of roses," 

 declared Mr. Axell, "but they would 

 not give out quotations. In order to 

 protect ourselves, therefore, we could 

 only give the most elastic ideas of prices 

 to the dealers to whom we ship. As a 

 result, we have all lost a certain amount 

 of trade. There were a great many good 

 roses. In some cases, I was able to ship 

 for $2 per dozen after making tenta- 

 tive quotations for $3. Next year, it is 

 to be hoped that the rose growers will 

 see the advisability of getting an idea 

 of how much stock is coming in and ar- 



ranging prices so that shippers can give 

 quotations. We did a good business, but 

 we could have done a better if quota- 

 tions had been available." 



The San Francisco Coojierative Flower 

 Market reports a good holiday trade. 

 Ten thousand dozen roses of many varie- 

 ties are stated to have been sold at this 

 market during the holiday season. 



Enomoto & Co. are now handling their 

 frecsias, a hcavj' stock of which began 

 to arrive about January 1. Through 

 January the stock will increase, reach- 

 ing its full proportions during February 

 and March. 



The Growers' Floral Co. is gratified 

 with the quality and size of its car- 

 nation crop. 



An ample amount of holiday stock 

 was handled by the United Flower & 

 Supply Co., including an especially fine 



showing of potted cyclamens, azaleas 

 and poinsettias. 



Domoto Bros, had quantities of potted 

 ]ilants from their nurseries for the holi- 

 day season, including poinsettias, aza- 

 leas and some cyclamens. 



Several important funerals brought 

 considerable business to local florists 

 immediately after the Christmas holi- 

 days. Pelicano, Rossi & Co. had impor- 

 tant ecclesiastical work to commemorate 

 the death, December 27, of Bishop 

 Thomas Grace, Roman Catholic bishop 

 of Sacramento, Cal. 



"Say It with Flowers" was taken 

 literally by the many friends of the late 

 Samuel N. Rucker, one of the best 

 known furniture men of the state. The 

 interment took place at San Jose and 

 some of the San Francisco florists sent 

 down one and even two automobile loads
