The MarkeU 



We have Ii.iJ considerable rain during 

 the past week, but the weather is not 

 cold; in fact, we have had only three 

 frosty nights thus far this season, and 

 it is now almost Christinas. Business 

 is quiet in all the stores, and there is lit- 

 tle doing except funeral work. We all 

 expect a big Christinas trade, but wheth- 

 er it comes up to expectations or not I 

 will be more able to tell you later on. 

 Carnations, owing to the warm weather, 

 are still very plentiful, of good quality 

 and very cheap. The best of the fancy 

 varieties are selling wholesale at from 

 35 to 50 cents per dozen. Lawsou, 

 Crocker, Estelle, Cressbrook, Flora Hill, 

 Bradt and almost all the other good 

 kinds are selling at from 25 to 30 cents 

 "per dozen, and Portia, Seott and Joost 

 at 20 to 25 cents. This is really no 

 higher than they have been for the last 

 two months, and fully 25 per cent 

 cheaper than they were last year at this 

 time. Should the weather get colder 

 prices may stiffen somewhat, but it is 

 very evident there will be no shortage of 

 carnations this year. With roses it is 

 somewhat different. I have visited not 

 less than a half dozen of our largest 

 growers during the past week and with 

 most of them there seems to be a great 

 scarcity of first-class t stock. Several 

 have large houses devoted to American 

 Beauties, and they are generally off 

 crop. Brides, Maids and Testout are 

 fairly plentiful, but fancy stock of these 

 varieties is scarce. Several growers are 

 sending in large quantities of small, 

 weak-stemmed flowers, but there is little

demand for them at any price. Beau- 

 ties are selling wholesale today at from 

 $1.50 to $3 per dozen, Brides and Maids 

 at from 50 to 75 cents, Testout, Liberty 

 and Kaiserin at the same price and Pres. 

 Carnot at 75 cents to $1. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are still iu evidence, but they are 

 getting scarcer and of poorer quality. 

 Some Mrs. Jerome Jones and Bonnaffon 

 grown under glass and very good flow- 

 ers are selling wholesale at from $2 to 

 .$2.50 per dozen. Outdoor flowers can 

 be had at from .$1.50 per hundred up to 

 .$3 or $4. A couple of weeks more will 

 finish them all. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 California State Floral Association took 



place ou Friday afternoon last. Jtrs. 

 J. L. Martin was in the chair. It 5va3 

 decided to hold the annual spring flower 

 show in the Ferry building March 24 

 to 26. It will be entirely devoted to a 

 display of bulbous plants. 



P. MeDonell, of Alden, was married 

 to Miss McNamara, of Oakland, last 

 week. Mr. MeDonell is a well-kno-wn 

 carnation grower and his bride was 

 formerly in the florist business. 



Sievers & Bolaud deserve much credit 

 for their show of cut flowers and bloom- 

 ing plants. They not only handle the 

 finest stock to be had, but their window 

 arrangements are the most artistic in 

 town. G.
