SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The weather has been mild enougli 

 during the past week to suit any one. 

 \Ve have had only a few slight frosts 

 and flowers continue fairly plentiful. 

 Business has been quiet with all the 

 retailers, so that there is an abundance 

 of stock to meet all requirements. The 

 quotations I gave last week have not 

 changed materially, although I expect 

 to see carnations somewhat cheaper in 

 a few days. Tulips, especially the Rem- 

 brandt variety, have made their appear- 

 ance in most of the stores and arc 

 selling at 50 cents per dozen. The flor- 

 ists generally pack about a half dozen 

 in a 6-inch flower pot and retail it for 

 75 cents. As a great many growers 

 have planted heavily in tulips I expect 

 an avalanche of them in a couple of 

 weeks, especially of Keizerskroon. Val- 

 ley is in good demand and of good 

 quality. I am inclined to think they 

 have been a veiy profitable crop for 

 the growers thus far this season. Maid- 

 en hair fern is very scarce and as there 

 is quite a shortage of the wild variety, 

 owing to the want of sufiicient rain and 

 the cold winds, the florists have had to 

 use much asparagus and other greens 

 in consequence. Mums are holding 

 their own splendidly and I do not know 

 what the florists would do without them, 

 especially in funeral work. The out- 

 door, cheap flowers have disappeared al- 

 most entirely except narcissi, ■ and it 

 will be many weeks before much else is 

 offered. Chrysanthemums, however, are 

 good, both in stem and flower and are 

 selling at from $2 to $i per hundred. 



Various Notes. 



Matraia & Bertrand have leased a 

 large store in the new Flood building 

 into which they will move when the edi- 

 fice is finished. This firm is one of the 

 most enterprising on Powell street, and 

 the location of their new store will be 

 second to none in town. 



Rosaia & Rossi have established them- 

 selves in good shape in the store va-
