The Markeft. 



The prosont trade conditions are dull. 

 There is little demand for cut flowers 

 or potted plants. Roses, carnations, 

 sweet peas and gladioli are plentiful and 

 most growers are finding diflSculty in 

 disposing of their stock. The tempera- 

 ture still remains high and there are no 

 immediate signs of relief. 



Various Notes. 



Jack Burt, of the Jack Burt Flower 

 Shop, left for a month's trip in the east 

 and expects to attend the S. A. F. con- 

 vention at Detroit, August 19. 



H. E, Reimers, of the Reimers Flower 

 Shop, and S. Yonkin, of Hoyt Bros., also 

 expect to attend the convention. Mr. 

 Reimers' main motive in going east is 

 to demonstrate the concrete flower pot 

 machine in which he is interested.

SILENE ARMERIA. 



I am enclosing specimens, of which I 

 would like to know the name. These 

 plants come up every year, but the local 

 florists do. not know the name of them. 

 They grow from fifteen to eighteen 

 inches high and bloom nearly all sum- 

 mer. I. L. M.— Pa. 



attention at the store of the Art Floral 

 Co. The blooms were cream, pink, deep 

 rose, pale yellow and variegated, and 

 many of them measured more than four 

 inches across. Private gardens furnished 

 the flowers to Vincent Matraia. 



An extra amount of funeral work kept 

 the force of Jaeger & Son busy last 

 week. Two palls were made, one entirely 

 of Russell roses and the other of carna- 

 tions with a cluster of orchids. Mr. 

 Jaeger states that store trade is quite 

 satisfactory and he noticed a particu- 

 larly heavy demand for potted plants 

 during the last two weeks. 



A. O. Stein furnished the decorations 

 for an effective wedding July 23, Blue 

 hydrangeas and Russell roses were large- 

 ly used and in the wedding procession 

 showers of gardenias and bracelets of 

 baby roses were used. Mr. Stein left 

 last week on a camping trip through 

 Lake county. He intends to be gone i 

 about a month. I 



J. A. Axell, formerly associated with 

 the E. W. McLellan Co., has left for the 

 east. It is understood that while there 

 he will open negotiations with a num- 

 ber of firms for shipping. He will open 

 his office in Bush street upon his return. 



Visitors in San Francisco last week 

 were Otto Lang and L. I. Chollai, of 

 Dallas, Tex. It is understood that Mr. 

 Chollai came here to purchase several 

 carloads of shrubs. Both announced 

 their intention of calling on the trade 

 in the southern part of the state before 

 commencing their homeward journey.

The plant forwarded is Silene 

 Armeria, an annual and a native of 

 southern Europe. It is commonly called 

 the sweet william catchfly, and has be- 

 come acclimated in a number of places 

 in America. C. W.
