PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Several weeks preceding the holidays 

 registered a laxity in business, which is 

 the usual proceeding, but it afforded 

 the florists time to prepare for the com- 

 ing rush, in the greenhouses as well as 

 the stores. The holiday business was a 

 pronounced success on all sides. Every- 

 body seems satisfied, with a substantial 

 increase of about twenty per cent, which 

 is not only attributed to the growth of 

 the city, but to the education of the 

 flower-buying public for a better grade 

 of stock; hence, a better price was 

 realized all around. 



On account of Christmas being on 

 Sunday, and celebrated legally on Mon- 

 day, the business was distributed over 

 several days, which gave the florists 

 more time to each customer and to 

 replenish the stock. Poinsettias were 

 the most in demand, with Lorraine be- 

 gonias, cyclamen, and basket arrange- 

 ments as close followers in favor. What 

 little stock remained when the mist 

 rolled away was only equivalent to a 

 normal day's supply. 



Carnations were the principal cut 

 flowers, especially red and dark colors; 

 in fact, the demand exceeded the sup- 

 ply. Boses were of fine grade and 

 produced top prices. Mums were lim- 

 ited in supply and brought the maxi- 

 mum price of $9 per dozen. 



Holly was a scarcity, usually sold by 

 the pound, bringing 75 cents to $1 per 

 pound for the fine English variety. 

 Native violets were scarce, but those of 

 California production were plentiful and 

 of fair quality and sold readily. Green 

 goods were plentiful, and considerable 

 decorating was done on all sides. 



The shipping trade was far in excess 

 of former years, which shows the de- 

 velopment of the inland empire, and 

 the demand is increased accordingly. 



Various Notes. 



Martin & Forbes report a clean-up in 

 every detail and express entire satis- 

 faction with the results. Their new 

 auto facilitated the delivery service, to 

 the satisfaction of the house and cus- 

 tomers. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. was also 

 pleased with results, which far exceeded 

 former years.
