The Market, 



We have the American Association of 

 Bankers with us this week and there has 

 been quite a demand for decorative stuff 

 in consequence. The reception bv the 

 California state Board of Tr: 

 Tuesday was a very elaborate affair and 

 quantity of flowers was used. Bus- 

 - i i .- fair, i onsidi ring the abund- 

 ani e of flowers. There have been a good- 

 ly number of weddings during the past 

 week and a fair amount of funeral work 

 has added to the volume of trade. Mums 

 are in splendid shape and can be had at 

 almost any price. Bunches containing a 

 dozen large, perfect flowers nicely mixed 

 w-ith wild ferns can be bought on any of 

 the street corners for 10 cents. This is 

 rather demoralizing to the store trade 

 but stock is moving fairly well all around 

 and I do not hear many complaints. Car- 

 nations are plentiful as most of the grow- 

 ers are cutting from their new stock. 

 Many of the flowers, however, come into 

 the market with very weak stems. I am 

 inclined to think that a great many of 

 the young plants have been allowed to 

 run up and flower during the present 

 warm spell when it would have been bet- 

 ter had they been pinched back and only 

 allowed to bloom when the days and 

 nights become much cooler. The whole- 

 sale price of carnations has advanced 

 from 5 to 10 cents per dozen during the 

 last week. Eoses are still backward and 

 command very fair prices. Cosmos, gail- 

 lardias and marigolds are on the wane 

 and gladioli have entirely disappeared. 

 A'iolets are in fair supply but are weak 

 of stem and small of flower and it is im- 

 possible to keep them longer than a few 

 hours after they are picked. 



Notes. 



It is wonderful, when one stops to con- 

 sider, the inroads into our pet calling 

 made by the Japanese gardeners. The 

 Chinaman have been content to grow put- 

 side stock exclusively, but the Japs are 

 devoting themselves to greenhouse work 

 almost exclusively. One of the largest 

 plants on this coast is owned by Domoto 

 Bros., at Fruitvale and Fitchburg. They 

 have in all about twenty houses devoted 

 to palms, ferns, 'mums, carnations and 

 roses. In Elmhurst and Fruitvale an- 

 other Japanese firm has ten hou 

 voted to rarnations and 'mums. At 

 Berkeley two firms have about ten houses 

 and all of these have been started in the 

 last few years. The Japs have not as 

 yet turned their attention 'to roses to 

 any great extent but we expect to see 

 them interested in this branch of the 

 business in another year or two. G.
