J)onioto Bros, are well satisfied over holiday business. All seasonable stock was sold out at their nursery at good prices. Now they are receiving heavy importations. For Christmas Podesta & Baldocchi had a fine lot of azaleas from P. Fer- rari's nursery, and Mr. Podesta says they sold every one of them.

They say the demand was for good stock, prices apparently being no object. This concern expected a nice lot of azaleas for New Year's, as they were a little late for Christmas.
