On and after February 1, 1959, no person, firm or corporation, or any agent thereof, shall engage in the sale of Christmas trees in the City, except pursuant to a special license for specific premises for a limited period, not to exceed thirty (30) days, in any one (1) year, unless such sale is incidental to and upon premises of an established horticultural business in the City, or unless it is a business for which an annual license has been issued by the City, and is in full force and effect, and the sale will be conducted upon the same premises for which such annual license was issued, or unless such person, firm or corporation, or any agent thereof has been established in its business location prior to June 1 of that year, and the sale will take place upon the same premises. However, any business not annually licensed by the City that desires to engage in the sale of Christmas trees shall first register with the Commissioner of Assessments and Licenses as to its intention to engage in such sale, and provided further that no license or registration for the casual sale of Christmas trees shall be required of any church or charitable institution which is the recipient of the entire proceeds from such sale.
