SAN FRANCISCO. 



The MarkeU 



Tliis week finds tlic market active in 

 every department, llorist an<i grower 

 alike making great pro|>;irati(ins for our 

 busiest season of tlie \eiU', Chrislnias. 



Some fine (.iiuire de Lorraine begonias 

 in 5inch pots done up in colored crepe 

 paper make one of the prettiest pot 

 plants ever seen in our market. Tliey are 

 really a novelty, tliis l)eing their lirst ap- 

 pearance in San Franci.sco. 



The poinsettia lias gotten to be a great 

 favorite with the llower-lniying people 

 of our city, and a few of our letallera 

 are going in heavilv fur them this year. 

 They sell best in the cut state. 



Roses are now to be seen of tine qvial- 

 ity and are better than they have been 

 for some time, the few that liave been 

 seen at the stores being mostly short- 

 stemmed. E. \V. iMcLellaji expects to cut 

 a fine lot of long-stemmed Liberties for 

 Christmas. Beauties. Maids and Car- 

 nots are of fine quality and will be in in 

 fair quantify; ileteors are very scarce. 



Carnations are fairly good, hut very 

 few can be seen; the growers arc no 

 doubt pickling them. J^t them go ahead. 

 They might as well pickle the stock as 

 the retailers, who know how to |)ickle, 

 and most of them in this city do it, too. 

 There are only a few days in the year 

 that the grower can command his own 

 prices, so let him seixe the op])ort>inity ; 

 he works hard and deserves all he can 

 get. 



We have had a few sharp frosts lately 

 which makes the weather seasonable and 

 helps to stiffen prices a bit. Outside 

 chrysanthemums are very scarce with 

 prices high for mere rubbish : ' inside 



irvsanthemums are not plentiful. Vio- 

 lets are very scarce, owing to the frost, 

 and are high priced. 



Prices: Beauties. .$.3 to .$.'>; Brides, 

 Maids and Meteors. ~n cents to $1.2.5; 

 Kaiserins and Carnots. $1; Perles, 50 to 

 75 cents; Bninners. l.i to 20 cents; Lib-

.Mr. Thonuis Bennett of Alden has dis- 

 solved partnership with his brother anil 

 has gone into partnership with a pri- 

 vate jiarty, having Ixiught a two-acre 

 tract of land near The Hermitage. Fruit- 

 vale. Mr. Bennett will not grow carna- 

 .ions; he thinks they are overdone in this 

 ■""ket. but will grow pot plants such as 

 calceolarias, cyclamens, primulas, palms 

 and ferns in variety. Some prize winners 

 can be lookeil for by and by. 



The Slianahan Floral Co. were the 

 fust to make their window bright and 

 gay for Christmas. Begonia Oloire de 

 Lorraine in pots, and poinsettias in pots 

 1 cut. with the usual fine grades of 

 other stock, made one of the finest win- 

 ■'-^vs to be seen in 'Frisco, and was the 

 admiration of every passer-by.
