SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Business remains quiet as usual and 

 we are now having a hot spell of 

 weather. Roses are a poor investment 

 for the retailer on account of the heat. 

 Carnations are the better keepers and 

 retailers are keeping on hand a larger 

 supply of them. A few gardenias were 

 seen in the market this week. Sweet 

 peas are plentiful and of fair quality.

 to $1.50; Brides, Maids and Testouts, 

 25 to 50 cents; Kaiserins, 25 to 35 

 cents; Meteors, 15 to 25 cents; Brun- 

 ners, 10 cents per dozen. Carnations, 

 Hobart $1, Crocker 75 cents, Scott 15 

 to 20 cents, Bradt and Gold Nug- 

 get, 25 cents. Hill 20 cents, Portia 20

 nias, 25 cents per dozen; stephanotis,

JADOO. 



In reporting some experiments 

 with Jadco, Mr. Percy R. King. New 

 Brighton, N. Y. says: "We planted 

 calla lily bulbs, some in pure fibre, 

 some in half fibre and half earth, and 

 others in the usual mixture used in 

 greenhouses. The result was that the 



one planted in pure fibre produced 

 seven blooms, as against five for the 

 half mixture and three f(Tr the ordi- 

 nary soil. I used both mixtures on 

 many other plants, and the result has 

 been extremely satisfactory."
