of not being in sufficient numbers to 

 fill requirements. Daffodils and narcissi 

 are making a good showing, with plenty 

 of Romans both cut and in pots. Val- 

 ley is a shade scarcer and orchids ap- 

 parently more plentiful. Red berries 

 hold the balance of power and never 

 have they been in better color or quan- 

 tity. The public never seems to tire 

 of them at this season and their cheap- 

 ness and ready sale make them one of 

 the heavy factors to be reckoned with. 

 Aside from Christmas orders, there is 

 a goodly supply of funeral orders di- 

 vided among the stores. 



Various Notes. 



E. W. McLellan has returned from a 

 trip to Los Angeles. 



J. S. Thomason, a well known horti- 

 culturist from Ukiah, is in town for a 

 few days. 



The Domoto Co. received three car- 

 loads of ornamental stock from Europe 

 recently. 



Mrs. L. Devencenzi, widow of the 

 late A. Devencenzi, has purchased the 

 Sutter street store formerly owned by 

 the Fairmount Floral Co. and will op- 

 erate it under the name of the L. De- 

 vencenzi Floral Co. 



H. Gresens, for many years in the 

 retail business in Alameda, has sold 

 his interest to his former partner, Chas. 

 Werner. 



C. E. Lilley is shipping much stock 

 of the native growth to the city re- 

 tailers. His ivy fern is exceptionally 

 good at this time. G.

The Market. 



There has been little change in mar- 

 ket conditions during the last week. 

 The weather continues fine and there is 

 apparently a good supply of everything 

 for Christmas. Poinsettias have come 

 on in fine shape and are of excellent 

 quality. Roses are scarce, but of good 

 quality. The carnations are beginning 

 to show the effects of the warm, cloudy 

 weather and some of the growers are 

 bringing in rather weak, soft stock. 

 The stores generally report a good holi- 

 day business, though it is too early yet 

 to estimate results exactly. 



Holly seems to do well here, but local 

 growers heretofore have not given much 

 attention to the growing of that kind 

 of stock. No doubt some enterprising 

 florist will take that up on an exten- 

 sive scale in the near future, and there 

 is no apparent reason why enough holly 

 for the local demand at least should 

 not be grown here, instead of having 

 to depend on the imported stock, which 

 generally reaches here in poor condi- 

 tion. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club bowling team, in 

 the last city league contest, took three 

 straight games from the "crack" Gas 

 Co. team, and then, just to show that 

 they could do it again, they beat the 

 P. 0. team, also of the city league, 

 three games. "Some bowlers," these 

 local florists. They are matched to 

 play the Seattle club sometime after 

 the holidays. I wonder why Seattle 

 wanted to wait until after New Year's. 

 The following are the totals for the 

 last three games: 776, 788, 805. 



The next regular meeting of the 

 Florists' Club will be held January 4, 

 1912. J. L. S.
