well as congratulatory baskets foi- Liv- 

 ingstone 's. Podesta & Baldocchi were 

 busy with decorations for Miss Buck- 

 bee's luncheon yesterday. They have 

 plenty of fine Eussell and Columbia 

 roses, but say that orchids are scarce. 



The Art Floral Co. reports business 

 as being quite good, especially in con- 

 nection with Jewish New Year. 



F. C. Jaeger & Son are shipping chrys- 

 anthemums heavily and sending out 

 some rosea and gladioli. More flowers 

 have been shipped this year during the 

 Jewish holidays than ever before in 

 San Francisco, and F. C. Jaeger & Son 

 had a full share of this trade. 



Fresh landscape contracts have come 

 in during the last week to the Mac- 

 Eorie-McLaren Co., while the Jewish 

 holidays have kept the store on Powell 

 street exceedingly busy. 



Victor Ferrari, of Ferrari Bros., who 

 largely supply the local market with 

 orchids, speaking of the scarcity of 

 orchids, said: "September is the hard- 

 est month in the year for orchids. In

The Market. 



There has been a lessening of stock 

 deliveries, partly the result of recent 

 heavy rains, which have prevented the 

 cutting of outdoor flowers, but the de- 

 mand has at no time exceeded the sup- 

 ply and retailers have found no cause 

 for complaint. Funeral business has 

 been the real trade life-saver and has 

 prevented losses on any items. It is 

 expected that the rains will mean the 

 passing of several varieties of gladioli 

 and a lighter supply of others, while 

 smaller deliveries on asters are certain 

 for a time. The supply of carnations 

 is increasing and more than enough 

 roses are coming to hand to fill all 

 needs. Columbia was in heaviest sup- 

 ply among the roses last week. 



Orchids are being cut in large enough 

 quantities to care for the current needs 

 and also to fill shipping orders to San 

 Francisco, a rather unusual situation 

 for this season of the year. Lily of the 

 valley is again being offered. Gardenias 

 are plentiful enough to care for orders. 



Among the longer-stemmed flowers 

 for tall baskets, gladioli are still quite 

 popular, but the lighter deliveries have 

 led to the substitution of other flowers 

 whenever possible. One grower has 

 b»en offering some fine purple monks- 

 hood for this purpose. The varieties of 

 dahlias which appear are increasing.
