The Holiday Trade. 



The holiday trade was the best ever 

 known in this locality. Prices were bet- 

 ter on cut flowers, but the supply was in- 

 adequate. Carnations, as usual, were in 

 greatest demand, one florist reporting 

 that he could have sold 2,000 more at re- 

 tail. Enchantress, Robert Craig, and 

 Victory brought best prices. 



Various Notes. 



J. W. Minnott & Son are cutting ex- 

 ■ra fine Enchantress in their new carna- 

 tion house. 



A. W. Dyer, proprietor of the Flower 

 Box, had a fine show of Christmas nov- 

 Gltics. 



J. J. Boyle, of the Portland Floral 

 Co., has purchased the store formerly 

 occupied by Mr. Ward, on Congress

The Market. 



Trade has been fairly active during 

 the last week and since the Christmas 

 holidays it may be classed as good. New 

 Year's trade was surprising to some of 

 the florists, who say they were kept busy 

 New Year's eve preparing orders for 

 early morning delivery. 



This week will be a busy one in so- 

 ciety, with weddings, dinners, and two 

 large balls. One is the Imperial, the 

 society event of the season, of which 

 Youngs have the decorations; the other 

 event should keep the west end trade 

 busy supplying extra fancy stock, which 

 this trade demands. The downtown flo- 

 rists also have a good word for business 

 since the holidays. 



In looking over the stock at the differ- 

 ent wholesale houses you find roses quite 

 plentiful, with the bulk of them of poor 

 quality. Extra fancy Beauties are some- 

 what scarce. The medium grades are 

 mostly deformed blooms. Prices on all 

 grades are down. 



Carnations are keeping up well in 

 quality and supply. Some fine En- 

 chantress come in. Lawson does not 

 seem so good this seas(jn. "Whites are 

 always in demand. Prices are not so 

 high as last week. 



Violets hung around the $1 mark until 

 Saturday, when the market became 

 flooded with Californias and the price 

 dropped to 50 cents per hundred. A 

 drop from this price is looked for this 

 week. 



Romans and Paper "Whites are, as 

 usual, at this season of the year, plenty
