J. W. Wolfskin had a splendid trade 

 on both cut flowers and plants. He did 

 not raise the prices at all. He sold 

 many boxes of pansy plants and growing 

 valley. Many beautiful hampers of plants 

 were seen here. About 200 boxes of pre- 

 pared orange blossoms were sold to send 

 east. He had several orders booked early 

 for New Year's decorations. 



At The Rosery everybody wore a satis- 

 fied look. They carried a big stock, but 

 by 10 o'clock Christmas morning had 

 sold out everything in the line of Christ- 

 mas flowers and plants.

 Christmas, with toany decorations booked 

 for the following week. 



H. N. Page, wholesaler, sold every- 

 thing in the flower line, and could have 

 sold much more if he could have pro- 

 cured it. S. A. C.

Christmas has come and gone and from 

 all accounts the sale of stock, in the 

 aggregate, was quite up to that of last 

 year, although the amounts were much 

 ■mailer individually. The heaviest de- 

 mands were for ferns, palms and flower- 

 ing plants in pots. This was owing to 

 the fact that we had been blessed with 

 several weeks of bright, sunshiny weather 

 prior to Christmas day, and as the result 

 flowers were brought into town in such 

 large quantities and were offered at such 

 low prices that, when the final test came, 

 the flower buyers preferred to purchase 

 something different from the ordinary 

 and a great run on plants was the result. 

 Every well grown palm, fern or flowering 

 plant was sold and these, together with 

 poinsettias, made up the b^ulk of a large 

 percentage of the orders. Violets were 

 in great demand, and the retailers have 

 justly criticised the stand taken by the 

 growers during the holidays. Owing to 

 the fact that there was a heavy demand 

 for out-of-town shipments for this popu- 

 lar flower and it being possible to receive, 

 for this occasion, a better price than 

 the San Francisco florists were able to 

 P^y> a great majority of the stock was 

 shipped out of town. This worked quite 

 a hardship on the retailers and many 

 complaints have been heard. 



With carnations and roses, the supply 

 was heavy; in fact, quite a few more 

 were brought into town than the occasion 

 demanded. \ Valley was rather scarce and 

 proved to be an excellent seller. A few 

 freesias, narcissi and daffodils were seen 

 and these, together with quantities of 

 cat poinsettias, made up the bulk of the 

 flowers. At the time of writing "the de-
