RANUNCULUS 



IMPROVED GIANT HYBRIDS 



A splendid strain of Ranunculus for florists' use brought to perfection after many years of careful selection, 

 producing over 75 per cent double and semi-double flowers in the most pleasing colors; showing stems from 18 

 to 30 inches long; an excellent cut flower and a good keeper, also highly desirable for bedding. We have grown 

 this variety several seasons, for the cut-flower market, and consider it one of our most profitable crops. Our 

 books show that flowers from this strain brought $4.00 per 100 on the Lo? Angeles market. 



PRICES— postpaid anywhere in the United States— per 1000, $25.00; per 100, $3.00. 

 Cash with order from unknown correspondents.

The Market. 



On all hands chrysanthemums are 

 stated to be coming in well, both as to 

 <|uality and <|nantity. Roses arc more 

 l)lentiful than they were a week or two 

 ago and the (juality is good. The local 

 market is consuming a good many 

 dahlias, and as other outdoor stock is 

 appearing now in good quantities, there 

 is less run on roses than was the case 

 before chrysanthemums began to appear 

 in such profusion. This being the case, 

 there is no apparent shortage of roses 

 at present. The first chrysanthemums 

 brought high prices, but as September 

 advances and the quantity on the mar- 

 ket increases, these early fancy prices 

 will decrease. Carnations are begin- 

 ning to arrive in better quantities. 

 There are still many gladioli. 



VariOTis Notes. 



After the first refrigerator car left 

 Sau Francisco August 31 the schedule 

 was changed, so that it now leaves Fri- 

 day instead of Tuesday. 



Many of the San Francisco florists 

 were working at top speed August 31 

 packing consignments, chiefly of chrys- 

 anthemums, to go by the first refriger- 

 ator car, which left that evening. 



J. W. Davies, president of the Dahlia 

 Society of California, was show manager 

 of the dahlia exhibition at the Palace 

 hotel September 2 to 4. Some of the 

 jirize cups were displayed in the win- 

 dows of Pelieano, Eossi & Co. 



At Burlingame what is said to be the 

 largest orchid-growing nursery in Cali- 

 fornia is rapidly nearing completion. 

 The owners are Major F. Peterson, for- 

 merly of the U. S. Army, and J. Hay- 

 wood. It is stated that they are spend- 

 ing about $50,000 on the greenhouses 

 and grounds. More than 3,000 orchids 

 are already growing in one of the houses. 



C. Kooyman reports that new crops 

 of roses and carnations are doing nicelv. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. shipped 'a 

 good many chrysanthemums by the re- 

 frigerator car, Chrysoloras predominat- 

 ing. 



The United Flower & Supply Co. re- 

 ]>orts the arrival of a good many mums. 

 The first-class grades are still a little 

 high.
