The Market. 



Plenty of flowers are coming into the 

 market, but the demand is so great that 

 the market is cleared every day. Good 

 shipping chrysanthemums are now plen- 

 tiful and all the large wholesale firms, 

 with one or two exceptions, are ship- 

 ping them extensively. The refrigera- 

 tor car carries the heaviest consign- 

 ments, but most of the firms are ship- 

 ping every day or two by express. 



Roses are coming in well and are be- 

 ginning to be shipped, though not in 

 such quantities as mark the chrysan- 

 themum shipments. Outdoor stock is 

 not plentiful. Dahlias are beginning to 

 be a little scarce. There are still asters, 

 but they are not so good as they were 

 a month or more ago. Orchids are ex- 

 pected to begin coming in satisfactorily 

 about October 1. At present they are 

 scarcely procurable in the San Fran- 

 cisco market. It is not so much a ques- 

 tion of price, just now, as of being able 

 to obtain orchids at all. 



Various Notes. 



A shipment of roses that promises to 

 open new possibilities was made Sep- 

 tember 14 by Angelo J. Rossi, of the 

 firm of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., by the 

 plane that left the Marina at 6:30 a. m. 

 Mr. Rossi sent a consignment consisting 

 of several dozen Ulrich Brunner roses 

 addressed to Max Schling, New York. 

 The plane is part of the regular air mail 

 route service which is now scheduled 

 to run every day, relaying mail from 

 San Francisco to New York and return. 

 The plane wliich left today only goes 

 to Salt Lake, but the mail and ship- 

 ments will be relayed on to their desti- 

 nation. This idea of sending flowers 

 east by air route is appealing strongly 

 to San Francisco florists, and inquiries 

 .are already being made as to whether 

 violets and roses can be accepted as 

 parcel post shipments, by air mail route.
