LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



Funeral work was not so plentiful 

 last week and this led te a week of dull 

 business. The better quality mums now 

 are in and so far the demand has been 

 good. Crocker, the early yellow, is a 

 fine variety and sells well, but a great 

 many of the later varieties, only half- 

 grown, arc in the market, and these 

 hang fire. The late dahlias are exceed- 

 ingly fine for window displays anfl* 

 make an elegant show, but few are sold. 

 Roses are improving; some jpf the flow- 

 ers from the young stock are good in 

 color, though, of course, the stems are 

 a little short. Gladioli still are in the 

 ring and carnations -are fine. Cen- 

 taureas are "almost over; violets are 

 coming in better and there is a fair sup- 

 ply of baby roses, orchids and valley. 

 In pot plants, cyclamens, Chatelaine 

 begonias and ferns are being shown and 

 are good for the season. Cut cyclamen 

 blooms sell freely.

A. W. Popley,, florist and nurseryman

 ders are coming in. By the time these
