geles and many have been shipped 

 there. The recent dry wind hurt the 

 violets to a certain extent, but a fair 

 supply of good stock continues to ar- 

 rive. There is a good cut of gardenias 

 and these move well in the absence of 

 valley and the scarcity of orchids. 

 Potted plants are more in evidence, 

 there being a good many cinerarias, be- 

 gonias, cyclamens and primroses. Pa- 

 per White narcissi are beginning to at- 

 tract more attention than they did on 

 their first appearance. The outlook for 

 flowering plants for the holidays is con- 

 sidered good. 



Various Notes. 



Eichard Lohrmann, of the West End 

 Nursery, San Rafael, has issued a new 

 dahlia and German iris price list that 

 includes a collection of fourteen dah- 

 lias of his own raising, most of which 

 were planted and exhibited at the 

 Panama-Pacific International Exposi- 

 tion. 



The flower store at 488 Haight street 

 has undergone a change in management, 

 the new owners being David Avansino 

 and John McDonald. Both are well 

 known in the local trade. The former 

 is a brother of John B. and Henry 

 Avansino, who recently opened a store 

 on Geary street under the name of 

 Avansino Bros., and the latter has been 

 with MacRorie & McLaren. The busi- 

 ness which they are taking over was 

 formerly operated by the late Martin 

 Petersen, and since his death has been 

 under the supervision of his widow. 

 Messrs. Avansino and McDonald plan 

 extensive improvements in the place. 



MacRorie & McLaren sent a large 

 truck of flowers over to Oakland for the 

 opening of a new theater in that city, 

 November 23. 



H. R. Darling, of Los Angeles, was 

 a recent visitor. He reported business 

 good with him since he improved his 

 store some time ago.

The Market. 



Unusually severe weather, with some 

 dark days, has had its effect in some 

 degree on stock in the greenhouses, per- 

 haps most noticeably on the Killarneys. 

 Ophelia and Russell roses seem to be 

 strong enough to withstand at least the 

 first siege of cloudy weather. These 

 are of unusually good quality and, with 

 Hoosier Beauty, are sure to be the most 

 widely grown roses in the west. A 

 fact frequently commented on is the 

 superiority in coloring which our Wash- 

 ington-grown Ophelia roses have over 

 eastern-grown stock. The depth and 

 richness of color which Ophelia attains 

 under our climatic conditions are both 

 amazing and gratifying. 



Carnations are showing up much bet- 

 ter in quality and are in good quantity. 

 More than the usual quantity of sun- 

 shine this fall has helped to develop the 

 plants to a point where most growers 

 are looking forward to a record-break- 

 ing Christmas crop. Mums, however, 

 have been greatly advanced by the 

 bright weather, but, despite this, there 

 should be an abundance of good blooms 

 for Thanksgiving.

 houses was well worth the trip. Park
