 A. L. Eandall Co., Chicago, is calling on 

 the Portland trade at this time. 



B. E. Hammond reports a fair supply 

 of largo and small mums on hand for the 

 New Year's trade, but he says that the 

 wholesale demand could have cared for

 out regularly and shipping business is 

 holding up well.

 Wash., was a Seattle visitor the first

 great business in strawflowers, which 

 have become one of the big items in 

 California." 



Every day the large amount of stock 

 brought into the San Francisco Cooper- 

 ative Market is practically cleaned out. 

 According to George Scataua. the stock 

 is commanding good prices. Violets arc 

 moving better; freesias are selling well, 

 as are cut hyacinths, potted tulips, Chi-
