Frost is the white most in evidence. 

 The yellow blooms are confined to Gol- 

 den Glow and Monrovia. They are 

 bringing from 75 cents to $1.75 a dozen. 

 Some of the best Golden Glow go a 

 little higher. 



The market is well supplied with 

 roses. Good Bussell brings $1.50 a dozen 

 and extra fine stock cleans up easily at 

 $1.75. Columbia ranges about the same. 

 This rose is rapidly gaining in popu- 

 larity in this section. Ophelia sells 

 around $1.50 a bunch of two dozen, only 

 extra fine blooms going higher. 



Miscellaneous outdoor stock is plenti- 

 ful and cheap. In fact, the only flowers 

 that are scarce are orchids and gar- 

 denias and possibly good carnations. 

 Orchids are at a premium, which tends 

 to accentuate the shortage of gardenias. 

 Old carnation plants are being thrown 

 out. A few violets are arriving, but 

 they are not suitable for shipping pur- 

 poses. 



Downtown retailers are making ex- 

 tensive preparations for the arrival of 

 the new Pacific fleet the first week in 

 September. Hotel reservations indicate 

 that many visitors will come to the city 

 for that event and the trade has already 

 been consulted in many instances in re- 

 gard to decorations, in conjunction with 

 dinners and other social functions 

 scheduled for Fleet week. 



Various Notes. 



The fourth annual show of the Dahlia 

 Society of California will be held in the 

 ballroom of the Palace hotel September 

 4 to 6. It is of great satisfaction to the 

 trade that this event, which has been so 

 successful in the last three years, can 

 be held during Fleet week this year.
