SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The principal change in the market 

 last week was the increasing supply of 

 chrysanthemums. Several varieties now 

 are coming in heavily and the flowers 

 are becoming large and well formed. 

 The stems are particularly good this 

 season, and the colors leave nothing to 

 be desired, the whites being clear and 

 clean and the yellows a rich shade. The 

 varieties most in evidence are Monro- 

 via, Golden Glow and October Frost. 

 The offerings clean up closely from dav 

 to day at rather firm prices. None of 

 the pink varieties has put in an appear- 

 ance as yet, but some of this color will 

 be ready to cut within a few days. 

 While the chrysanthemums are fine for 

 the early season, some of the shippers 

 are holding off in making large ship- 

 ments to far distant points, in the be- 

 lief that the flowers are still too soft 

 to reach their destinations in first-class 

 condition, which might have a tendency 

 to discourage later business. 



Interest in asters seems to be weak- 

 ening, but extremely large arrivals con- 

 tinue to find an outlet each day, either 

 through the usual retail channels or out- 

 of-town shipments. Little, if any, good 

 stock finds its way to the dump. Dah- 

 lias are at their height and the demand 

 is active. Complaints about the roses 

 have about ceased, as the colors are bet- 

 ter and more of the longer grades are 

 arriving. American Beauties are still 

 scarce, however, Eubruni lilies are less 

 plentiful and the market is only moder- 

 ately supplied with Easter lilies. Al- 

 though new-crop carnations are being 

 cut in slightly larger quantities, good 

 stock is still on the sliort side of the 

 market. Some hold that zinnias are 

 about through, while others claim they 

 are holding their own with remarkable 

 persistency. Everything in the way of 

 gardenias, orchids and valley cleans up 

 and there is not enough stock to go 

 around. Violets, botli double and single, 

 are becoming plentiful, but few find 

 their way to the street venders as yet. 

 Boston ferns have been scarce during 

 the summer, and now that good stock is 

 arriving again it is eagerly sought after.

evening of September 1, was well at- 

 tended. The picnic committee reported 

 the recent outing a big success from 

 every standpoint. Upon the suggestion 

 of Fred Bertrand, it was voted to start 

 a fund to supply the members of the 

 organization called to the colors with 

 tobacco and other incidentals, which 

 they might be unable to secure other- 

 wise. The proposition as first outlined 

 by Mr. Bertrand was to include all boys 

 connected with the local flower Ijusiuess, 

 but the majority seemed in favor of 

 confining the benofite to members of the 

 association. A committee was appoint- 

 ed to follow up the matter, the members 

 being Mr. Bertrand, representing the 

 city members; John Gill, the bay cities; 

 M. Poss, the peninsula. 



Secretary Walter Ilofinglioff an- 

 nounced that the society had received a 

 medal of honor as collaborator in the 

 spring and fall ilower shows at the 

 I'anama-Pacific exposition. Ho was in- 

 structed to liave the diploma framed. 



It was decided to have a lecture and 

 smoker at the October meeting, to be 

 held, as usual, on the first Saturday in 

 the month. 



Tlie evening's exhibits consisted of a 

 vase of William Kent glailioli, shown 

 by Richard Diener, wliicli took ninety 

 points, and a new seedling dalilia, shown 

 by IMr. Burgle, which was awarded 

 ninety points. The exhibition commit- 

 tee submitted its report for the last 

 year, showing that J. A. Carbone had 

 been awarded 750 points for exhibits 

 during the year; Frank Pelicano 42;") 

 points and MacRorie & McLaren 37S 

 points. In accordance with the rules of 

 the organization, the first two named 

 were granted first and second prize, 

 respectively, the prizes to be silver cups.
