bulbs. One order this week called for 

 100,000 bulbs. Mr. Axell thinks there 

 will be a shortage of these bulbs before 

 the end of next month. 



The C. Kooyman Co., according to Mr. 

 Madvig, is receiving a nice lot of orders 

 for asters, principally from southern 

 and middle western points. 



Mrs. R. E. Darbee has been unable to 

 find anyone to look after her store and 

 shipping business while away, so she has 

 had to give up her plan of attending 

 the S. A. F. convention. She has de- 

 cided to postpone her trip until Decem- 

 ber or January, so as to experience some 

 of the eastern cold weather for the first 

 time. She is starting to ship asters in 

 quantity, as well as statice. The latter 

 is well receive .in the. east, she says.

 rose and fi^^dithat it gives general sat- 

 isfaction. StAre business has been a 

 little spotted, but the total volume, she 

 says, is well up to standard. 



D. Traversaro, formerly with Pelicano, 

 Rossi & Co., and more recently manager 

 . of Hyde 's store at Watsonville, Cal., has 

 enlisted in the navy. 



Charles P. Shellgrain, manager of the 

 Boland store, says July was a good 

 month, especially in funeral work, A 

 new location has not yet been decided 

 upon by this concern. 



Miss Recardie Lee Muarreijr lays busi- 

 ness has picked up uieely editing the 

 last two weeks, last Sunday being the 

 best Sunday in a long time. 



J. Scanlon, with Albert O. Stein, has 

 returned from a month's vacation at 

 Los Angeles. Mr. Stein has no com- 

 plaints to make about business. 



Frank Claverie says business on Polk 

 street is holding up well this summer. 



Charles Stoppenbeck, the American 

 Florist, on Polk street, who confines his 

 attention to store trade entirely, reports 

 a good demand for roses, although his 

 blooms are at their lowest ebb just how. 

 "He expects to have a fine crop a little 

 later. 



The California Floral Co. is well satis- 

 fied with summer business. Potted glox- 

 inias are having a nice sale here. 



The Woodside Nurseries Co. has been 

 granted permission to sell 100 shares of 

 stock at par. The company proposes to 

 utilize the proceeds of the sale in the 

 development of the business. S. H. G.

The Market. 



Business, though not rushing, cannot 

 be called dull. There are quiet spells 

 between sales, but the sales are not half 

 bad, thanks to good funeral work and 

 some wedding orders. 



The variety of the cut flowers offered 

 has been limited. Sweet peas, said to 

 lead the field, are of excellent quality 

 and the supply is adequate. Growers are 

 drying off the stock, so roses are off 

 crop for the present. In gypsophilas, 

 paniculata is taking the place of grandi- 

 flora. Carnations are poor and receive 

 little attention, but gladioli are good 

 property, making $1 per dozen at retail. 



Various Notes. 

 A general street car tie-up last week 

 threatened traffic until the "jitney" 

 came to the rescue and made a joke of 

 the strike. Everything went off good- 

 naturedly, the people seeming to sym- 

 pathize with the strikers. Labor troubles 

 are stirring things up considerably in 

 nearly all industries. Greenhouse help

 of from twenty-five to fifty per cent in 

 all branches of growers' labor. The big 

 army post at American Lake gives the 

 ordinary laboring man considerable le- 

 verage; if you do not like his style you 

 can tell him so, but he will take a "jit- 

 ney" and get a job at the army post, at 

 good wages, too. 



All of the big department stores have
