 live at least three weeks when cut.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The florists of the downtown business 

 district of the city enjoyed an extra 

 demand for flowers during the "Path 

 of Gold" celebration, which inaugu- 

 rated the new lighting system on Mar- 

 ket street, and which was one of the 

 most elaborate carnivals ever held in 

 San Francisco. The event was well 

 advertised and many out-of-town visit- 

 ors came in to participate in the fes- 

 tivities. Various parties, dinners, ban- 

 quets, etc., were ajrranged as side 

 issues of the festival, some of which 

 were of sufficient importance to provide 

 good-sized decorations for the florists. 

 Counter business was especially brisk, 

 so the week as a whole was a good one 

 for the trade. 



The recent damp weather has had 

 more or less eflFeet upon certain vario- 

 'ties of flowers, but so far the chrysan- 

 themums have not been hurt to any 

 extent. The growers are not anxious 

 for more rain right away, however. 

 Chrysanthemums are the principal fea- 

 ture of the local market. All kinds and 

 all sizes can be had in quantity, but 

 they are well taken locally and the 

 shipping demand is brisk, so the prices 

 remain firm for good stock. Pompons 

 continue in excellent favor. Interest 

 in dahlias was somewhat stimulated by 

 the dahlia show at the Civic Auditor- 

 ium. The supply of this flower still is 

 abundant, Burgle and Delice being 

 popular .varieties at the downtown 

 stores. The rose supply has shortened, 

 owing to the recent cold weather, and 

 everything cleans up readily. Violets 

 are good now and quantities of Prince 

 of Wales, Marie Louise and California 

 Giants are being disposed of. There 

 are many good cut cyclamens, which 

 clean up quickly. A limited quantity

of cockscombs finds a ready outlet. In 

 fact, the supply of flowers, taken as a 

 whole, is no more than sufficient to fill 

 requirements, so nearly everything of 

 good quality is sold out from day to 

 day. Orchids are in better supply, but 

 more could be used if they were avail- 

 able. 



Various Notes. 



An ejigaglng young man entered the 

 store of Joseph Fregusi, at Twenty- 



uintli and Mission streets, a few days 

 ago and told the proprietor that a well- 

 known trade unionist had died, that 

 flowers were wanted by the various 

 unions, and that he was acting as their 

 representative. He ordered several 

 pieces and paid for them in bogu-s 

 checks, several different ones, on all of 

 which Mr. Fregusi gave him change in 

 cash. The next morning when the 

 flowers were delivered at the address
