on roses and chrysanthemums were no 

 higher than usual for the season. For 

 instance, good American Beauties could 

 be had for $3 per dozen and good chrys- 

 anthemums for $2 to $2.50 per dozen, 

 whereas a year ago the best Beauties 

 reached $4 per dozen and mums $3. 

 Roses selling for $1.50 the week before 

 were advanced to $2 and other prices 

 were increased on a similar scale. There 

 was a fine cut of roses, including Rus- 

 sell, Ophelia and Beauties, but the de- 

 mand was sufficiently strong to assure 

 a close clean-up for the holiday, espe- 

 cially as out-of-town shipments early in 

 the week were heavy. Cold and rainy 

 weather had a tendency to shorten up 

 the supply of chrysanthemums, but 

 there was some nice stock to be had, 

 two of the best varieties being Helen 

 Frick and Appleton. Carnations were 

 still on the short side of the market. 

 Miscellaneous outdoor stock has dwin- 

 dled down to marigolds and cosmos, 

 both of which continue to sell well. 

 Violets constitute an important item, 

 the demand being ^mple to clear the 

 supplies daily. Paper White narcissi 

 are a welcome addition, the first offer- 

 ings for the season having put in an 

 appearance last week. Poinsettias, 

 both cut and potted, show up well and 

 the demand leaves nothing to be de- 

 sired. The same may be said of cycla- 

 mens. Other flowering plants are con- 

 spicuous by their absence, with the ex- 

 ception of a limited supply of nice 

 heather plants and cockcombs. Receipts 

 of California red berries are light. They 

 are missed by the trade, as they usually

Various Notes. 



Mr. Wagner, who was with B. M. 

 Joseph, Grant avenue, before enlisting 

 in the Merchant Marine several months 

 ago, has obtained a furlough until the 

 first of the year and is in his old posi- 

 tion again. His associates are glad to 

 welcome him back for the holiday rush. 

 A. Cuneo has resumed his duties as buy- 

 er, after being home for over a week 

 on account of his family all being down 

 with the influenza. The way business 

 is going this week, he looks for Thanks- 

 giving sales to show a nice increase 

 over those of last year. 



Frank Lichtenberg, of Los Angeles, 

 Cal., has been spending a few days in 

 the San Francisco bay region, looking 

 over the stock situation with a view to 

 placing orders for Christmas. 



M. C. Main, manager of the Seabright 

 Bulb Co., of Santa Cruz, Cal., visited 

 the Golden Gate city early in the week, 

 accompanied by Mrg^Maili. '

J. A. Axell, manager of the E. W. 

 McLellan Co., reports a banner Thanks- 

 giving business, and looks for Decem- 

 ber to be one of the best months in the 

 history of the florists' business. The 

 world at large, he says, has much to 

 rejoice over, and there is bound to be 

 a good deal of entertaining, home adorn- 

 ment, etc., calling for liberal expendi- 

 tures for flowers. His firm filled large 

 shipping orders for violets, greens, roses 

 and chrysanthemums for Thanksgiving, 

 which would indicate that conditions in 

 the outlying territory were favorable 

 for a fine holiday business. Local buy- 

 ers also have ordered with a freedom 

 indicating confidence in a big holiday 

 demand. Among the orders here was a
