MIGNONETTE— Fbaskb's Spibai. Maohbt.

The size of this charming Mignonette has placed

 there are many other delicate shades

Tlie Market. 



Business is reported fair, with a slight 

 inclination toward dullness. Carnations 

 are scarce, on account of the growers 

 changing their plants. At present there 

 are not enough carnations to take care 

 of the local market. Eoses also are 

 scarce. Some firms report all their 

 roses sold early in the day. Few firms 

 have many carnations on hand, but 

 6ome have enough roses to fall back 

 upon, especially of certain varieties. 



Asters are plentiful and of fine 

 variety. Numerous shipments of asters 

 are now being made, not only to coast 

 points, but to cities as far east as 

 Omaha and New Orleans. In some 

 cases, information is still lacking as to 

 how the asters stood the trip. In other 

 cases, however, word has been received 

 that the asters stood the journey ex- 

 cellently. This is undoubtedly an aster 

 year in California, as the quality of 

 these early fall flowers seems on a par 

 with their abundance. 



GladioU are now seen in all their 

 richness of color. Interest in them has 

 been stimulated by the recent exhibi- 

 tion held in this city. They are in 

 good demand, especially for decorative 

 purposes. There are about enough on 

 hand to take care of the local market. 

 It is somewhat early for shipping 

 chrysanthemums, but it is expected that 

 large quantities of these flowers will be 

 sent out early next month. 



Dahlias seem to have more devotees 

 every year. Various retail firms had 

 dahlia windows last week. They are 

 full of color and the many varieties on 

 display continually attract little knots 

 of admirers, who gather on the sidewalk 

 and comment on the great diversity of 

 the dahlias, both in color and form. 

 Dahlias are oeeoming such a fad that 

 not only do growers talk about their
