The Market. 



Decoration day business was good, al- 

 though I do not think it was any bet- 

 ter than that of last year. Flowers 

 were very plentiful, very cheap and of 

 good quality throughout. Shipping 

 business was better than last season. I 

 refer to the sending of flowers to the 

 interior of the state and also to Oregon, 

 Nevada, Utah and Arizona. We have 

 about a dozen florists in town who seem 

 to handle most of the out-of-town orders 

 and they had about all they could do. 

 The weather was all that could be de- 

 sired. 



Roses are a glut at present, but the 

 quality, owing to the few weeks of warm 

 weather we have had, is nothing extra 

 and poor color and poorer stems are the 

 rule. Bridesmaids and Brides are of- 

 fered in large quantities at almost any 

 -price. Carnations are also nothing to 

 brag of. but a few good fancies are ex- 

 hibited in some of the windows. Sweet 

 peas are good and cheap; the price 

 averages 50 cents per dozen bunches, 

 wholesale. Other outdoor stuff has very 

 little value. 



The Bride gladiolus was a good seller 



and brought $1.50 per hundred spikes. 



Calla lilies have been in some demand 



and sold at $1 per hundred blooms. 



Notes. 



Thos. H. Stevenson reports a splendid 

 trade in his new store in the Palace 

 Hotel. Mr. Stevenson keeps a good sup- 

 ply of the best flowers on hand and his 

 business is steadily growing in the right 

 direction. 



F. Ludcmann has taken his son, Fred, 

 Jr., into his office as a bookkeeper. This 

 position was occupied for several years 

 by his daughter, recently married. 



Win. Kohler has assumed entire con- 

 trol of the greenhouses formerly owned 

 by Chas. Haselbacher, at Oakland, and 

 Jately managed by his widow. 



A visit to the nurseries of Chas. Abra- 

 ham, on Greenwich street, shows every- 

 thing in good shape and plenty of pro- 

 pagating being attended to preparatory 

 to another season's business. 



E. Grotting has taken charge of the 

 grounds of the Sacred Heart Convent on 

 Webster street. Oakland. G. 



Mt. Vernon, Ixd. — M. L. Doerr has 

 bought the greenhouses and business of 

 M. L. Loudon. 



Madison, X. J. — Righter & Barton are 

 building some new Pierson-Sefton houses.
