NEW CASTLE, IND. 



Tlie South Park Floral Co. are build- 

 ing a new range of tiouses wliicti, when 

 (■onipleted, will mak:? their establish- 

 ment one of the largest in the west de- 

 voted e.xclusively to the growing of 

 roses for cut flowers outside of Chi- 

 cago. 



They will erect seven large houses 

 for the growing of American ISeauties 

 and will jilant their present ten houses 

 in Brides and Maids. 



William Dittman will continue as 

 their grower, while Herbert Heller will 

 have the general supervision of the 

 place. 



SAN FRANCISCO, 



Business ha.s picked up very much 

 during the iast few weeks, although 

 prica? are somewhat lower than they 

 were at this date last year. The abun- 

 dant rains during October and Novem- 

 ber have been a godsend to all growers 

 of outside stuff. Owing to the early 

 rains violets are coming in from the 

 growers in large quantities, and as a 

 consequence poor prices are being ob- 

 tained. 



Thanksgiving day was marked with 

 sunshine a.nd a victory for the blue 

 and gold over the cardinals, the score 

 being .30 to 0. 



Business was 40 per cent, better than 

 at this time last year. Good inside 

 chrysanthemums. Bonnaffons. brought 

 $2. .5(1 to $3.00 per dozen. Outside chrys- 

 anthemums were poor and brought 50 

 to 75 cents per dozen. Reds sold at $1 

 per dozen. American Beauties, first 

 grade, $4: seconds, $2.50 and $3 per 

 dozen; Bridesmaids. $1 and $2: 

 Brides, 75 cents and $1 per dozen. 



In carnations. Portias sold well, 4 

 and G dozen for $1. Scotts were fine 

 and brought 25 cents per dozen. Fine 

 Flora Hills were 25 to 35 cents per 

 dozen. Violets were grand and sold at 

 $1 for Californias, $1.50 for Princess of 

 Wales, per dozen bunches. Roman hy- 

 acinths, 25 to 30 cents per dozen. Pa- 

 per white narcissus, $1 per 100. Free- 

 sias have made their first appearance 

 and sell at 25 cents per dozen. 



On Thanksgiving eve Sievers' and 

 Borland's store on Post street looked 

 grand. Two boxes of lily of the valley 

 were extremely well done; also a vase 

 of their beautiful carnation, Anna Ho- 

 bart. 



Mr. Thomas Stevenson, "The Lon- 

 don Florist." on Powell street, made a 

 fine display of chrysanthemums, and 

 one window filled with Roman hya- 

 cinths and Princess of Wales violets 

 was a treat. Mrs. Stevenson says they 

 did a good Thanksgiving business. 

 Everything went, even the turkey (at 

 the table, I suppose). 



Mr. John Jack, head gardener for the 

 California Jockey Club, has a fine lot 

 of cinerarias in bloom, fully 4 feet in 

 height and 3 feet across, grown in a 

 cold-frame, and go to show the skill 

 of this worthy Scotchman. 



Mr. Vallance, with the Cox Seed & 

 Plant Co.. who has been ill for some 

 time, is now much improved in health 

 and it is to be hoped will soon be all 

 right again. 



Trumbull & Beebe, nursery and 

 seedsmen, on Sansome street, report 

 business good and many orders com- 



ing in. the result of the early rains all 

 over the state. J. N. 



A VERY appropriate Christmas gift 

 to an appreciated employee would be 

 a copy of the Florists' Manual, by 

 Wm. Scott. 



We are now gathering our new 



Sphagnum Moss 



tor the Florist trade and will have none but 

 the best. Give us a trial order and see if we 

 do not send you just what you need. Will 

 quote prices as low as possible on live Sphag- 

 num for growing? Orchids, etc.
