bunch. On bulbous stuff ordinary prices 

 prevailed. There was the usual variety 

 of potted plants. Begonia Lorraine, 

 azaleas, cyclamens and primroses all 

 dressed up in the latest Christmas ap- 

 parel brought most satisfactory prices 

 and there was none left unsold. It was 

 very noticeable that a well flowered plant 

 created as much admiration as did a 

 vase of fine carnations. 



About the same amount of "green 

 goods" was sold as in past years. Mis- 

 tletoe from southern Oregon arrived in 

 perfect condition, but holly was inferior. 

 Loose sprays sold for $1 per yard and 

 wreaths at $1.50 each. Oregon grape, 

 Berberis aquifolium, which grows so 

 plentifully only a few miles from town, 

 is as extensively used here for decora- 

 tive purposes as ground pine is in the 

 east. Oregon grape is merely a local 

 name for this most useful and beautiful 

 foliage and the Commercial Club shipped 

 fifty boxes to noted men in the east, 

 including F'resident Kocsevelt and liifi 

 cabinet. H. J. M. 



CHRISTMAS GREENS. 



It is surprising the tremendous trade 

 that has sprung up during the past few 

 years in the gathering and selling of 

 native greens, ferns and berries. It is 

 only within the past five or six years 

 that the demand has been developed to 

 such an extent that it now becomes neces- 

 sary to travel farther and farther into 

 the woods to be able to get these ar- 

 ticles in sufficient quantity to make their 

 gathering profitable. 



The native wild huckleberry stems are 

 the most in demand, being that they are 

 in season throughout the entire year.

They are gathered in the wooded sec- 

 tions of the counties north of San Fran- 

 cisco where there is considerable more 

 moisture than they have in that neigh- 

 borhood. Owing to the ruthless manner 

 in which this valuable green has been 

 gathered by the Italians, who handle 

 this portion of the trade almost exclu- 

 sively, it will be only a few years until 

 it will be hard to secure. 



The California red berry is next on the 

 list in importance and the berries are 

 gathered from the middle of November 

 until the end of January. They cost 

 the florists on an average of $50 per ton 

 and it is safe to say there were upwards 

 of 500 tons sold in San Francisco dur- 

 ing Christmas week. Each succeeding 

 year finds them only plentiful in the 

 more remote localities.

We have several varieties of native 

 ferns that are of considerable value and 

 now that the rainy season is here they 

 will be very abundant until the end of 

 .spring. The .woodvvardias and adian- 

 tums are the most desirable and many 

 thousands of bunches are disposed of 

 daily in the various flower stores. The 

 common fango, or marsh grass, is plen- 

 tiful on most of our swampy lands and 

 is quite valuable as an article of decora- 

 tion. It is cut in bundles each contain- 

 ing about 500 stems and costs the retail- 

 ers about $3 per dozen bunches. 



Berried holly is scarce in California.
