increased to 6,000. The greenhouses 

 are particularly fitted for the culture 

 of orchids. Mr. Bradbury grew a fine 

 collection of stove plants, which he 

 recently donated to the Los Angeles 

 parks. Mr. Siebrecht will have charge 

 of the fine dressed grounds during Mr. 

 Bradbury's absence, the latter intend- 

 ing to visit Mexico for quite an ex- 

 tended time and later to take a trip to 

 Europe for several years.

The Market. 



Asters continue to play a leading 

 part in the market. The daily receipts 

 are extremely heavy, but it cannot be 

 said they constitute a glut, as the or- 

 ders for out-of-town shipment manage 

 to clean up practically all the good 

 stock not utilized locally. Dahlias are 

 not far behind, either in quantity or 

 quality, and it is regretted more and 

 more by shippers of this vicinity that 

 this wonderful flower does not hold up 

 so' well as some of its less gorgeous 

 competitors. Locally the demand is 

 good, however, many of the large va- 

 rieties being used extensively for deco- 

 rative work. Some of the growers are 

 holding back their finest specimens for 

 the dahlia show,' but the market is well 

 supplied at that. Chrysanthemums are 

 in fair supply and the average quality 

 of the daily cut is improving, but the 

 season has not advanced sufficiently as 

 yet for the blooms to be large-sized and 

 hard enough for shipping long distances. 



The rose market is in better condition 

 than for several weeks, but the demand 

 for first-class stock still exceeds the 

 supply. A few American Beauties are 

 arriving, after having been off crop for 

 some time. Fine blooms in ample sup- 

 ply are expected in another fortnight. 

 Ophelia shows good quality; also Shaw- 

 .ver and Cecile Brunner. Rubrum lilies 

 are to be seen everywhere, and some 

 complaints are heard that the demand 

 is not up to expectations. Gladioli 

 cease to attract much attention and 

 zinnias have about gone their course 

 for this year. More zinnias were grown 

 for this market this year than ever be- 

 fore, but the flowers were especially 

 fine and the demand kept up with re- 

 markable persistency until well into the

season. There is a large cut of amaryl- 

 lis and it sells well. Violets are im- 

 proving rapidly and soon will be an 

 important item. Cut cyclamen is be-

 call for blooming plants, principally 

 gloxinias, primroses and begonias. 



Various Notes. 



Albert O. Stein last week had deco- 

 rations at the Palace hotel for a banquet 

 seating 300 people, and also for the din- 

 ner at the Fairmount hotel, which was 

 attended by about fifty people. For a 

 formal opening of a new store on Geary 

 street, Mr. Stein was called upon to 

 supply forty dozen rubrum lilies, and 

 the same week he used twenty-five 

 dozen rubrum lilies in the decoration of 

 the Magnin & Co. windows. Funeral 

 work has been active at the Stein store. 



Miss Recardie Lee Murray is well sat- 

 isfied with business, both at her store 

 on Geary street and her stand in the 

 Clift hotel. She is gradually extending 

 her shipping business and is now send- 

 ing out many asters. 



Frank Claverie is pleased to note 

 that business is picking up nicely on 

 Polk street. Besides a large quantity 

 of funeral work, he is delivering more 

 cut flowers to homes than for some time, 

 and is getting an occasional wedding. 



Norman Marcus, who gave up his 

 position at the Albert O. Stein estab- 

 lishment two months ago with the in- 

 tention of going to France with a base 

 hospital corps, is returning to work, 

 pending further instructions.
