PACIFIC COAST. 



TAOOMA, WASH. 



The Market. 



_ The Chrifitmas flower business of this 

 city was the best we have ever known. 

 Weather conditions were favorable, al- 

 though a little more sunshine would 

 have been acceptable; however, we had 

 no rain and none of the cold zero 

 weather we read about our friends in 

 the east having. The thermometer 

 ranged from 45 to 55 degrees during 

 the week. 



Stoekjeverywhere seemed to be fine, 

 but scaj^e, with the possible exception 

 of pomsettias, which were plentiful and 

 extra fine, some having been seen 

 eighteen inches in diameter. Carnations 

 ■were unusually scarce, but some fine 

 mums were offered in small quantities. 

 <5ood pot plants seemed to be fairly 

 plentiful, excepting cyclamen, and were 

 in good demand. Prices Were about as 

 in previous years. 



Various Notes. 



. Miss Giertz, manager of the Flower 

 Shop, was ill at her home during last 

 week with a severe attack of the grip. 

 Mr. Lowe had charge of the business 

 ■during her illness. 



Van Slyke & Seamons grew a fine lot 

 •of Formosa lilies for the Christmas 

 trade. 



Tschunko has some nice callas. 



Added to the Christmas rush, the 

 California Florists received orders for a 

 big funeral Saturday afternoon, Decem- 

 ber 24. 



Mrs. Watson reports an exceptionally 

 good Christmas trade. J. L. S. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The Christmas trade in San Fran- 

 cisco and vicinity was about equal in 

 bulk to that of one year ago. The 

 chief difference noted was that the de- 

 mand was to a great extent for smaller 

 and cheaper articles. This entailed a 

 great amount of extia work, with but 

 little extra compensation. The supply 

 of flowers, with hardly any exceptions, 

 was adequate for the demand. The 

 public showed peculiar preferences and 

 the highest priced stock was the last 

 to be sold. Fancy baskets filled with 

 ferns or flowering plants moved faster 

 than they have for several seasons and 

 poinsettias in pots did not sell so 

 quickly. There was an abundance of 

 earnations and chrysanthemums, but 

 the /flower buyers did not take as 

 kii/dly to them as they did formerly. 

 Eoses, except the poorer stock, were 

 only in fair supply and were easily 

 cleaned up. Valley, daffodils, Lilium 

 Harrisii, narcissi and cut cyclamens 

 were plentiful enough for all comers.

of greens shared a large portion of the 

 orders. In the bay cities the conditions 

 were similar to those in San Francisco 

 and a relative amount of business was 

 done. New Year's orders were good 

 and everyone seems to be satisfied with 

 the ending made in the year 1910.
