Mention The ReTlew when yon wriU. 



of the previous week's prices. The best 

 quality of Chrysoloras brought as high 

 as $2 per dozen, while the rose-pink 

 brought $9 for a bunch of six dozen. 

 The best white varieties were about the 

 sane in price as the yellow. 



Asters are going down in quality and 

 up in price. -Last week they cost from 

 $2 to $2.25 for a bunch of ten dozen. 

 The new crop of carnations is rather 

 slow in reaching a good cutting stage, 

 and first-class blooms are still expensive. 

 Good roses are in demand and are bring- 

 ing top prices. Eussell of a good quality 

 brings $2.50 per dozen; Ophelia $1.50 

 per bunch, and red roses $2.50 per bunch. 

 A limited supply of Princess violets is in 

 the maiket and can be purchased for $1 

 per dozen. The larger varieties for 

 shipping purposes will not be ready for 

 another three or four weeks. Orchids 

 and gardenias are still di£Scult to obtain 

 and are especially high.

The President's Visit. 



The arrival of the President in San 

 Francisco, Wednesday, September 17, 

 was the occasion of many elaborate 

 functions, prominent among which were 

 the luncheons given at the Palace hotel, 

 Wednesday and Thursday, for the men 

 and women of various community clubs. 

 Local florists vied with each other in 

 handsome floral offerings to President 

 and Mrs. Wilson during their stay in 

 this city. The Palace hotel stand of 

 the MacBorie-McLaren Co. naturally 

 provided many of the decorations used 



at the various affairs in that hotel. 

 Chrysanthemums and roses were used 

 freely, with good results. 



One of the most attractive baskets 

 presented to the President was composed 

 of California grapes and chrysanthe- 

 mums and made up by Pelicano, Rossi 

 & Co., together with a handsome corsage 

 of orchids for Mrs. Wilson. Part of the 

 table decoration for the luncheon on 

 Wednesday was also furnished by this 

 firm. A sheaf of Dr. Tevis dahlias from 

 Mr. Pelicano 's famous gardens deco- 

 rated one table, while a similar piece 

 of Golden West dahlias, also grown on
