late rains. Various associations are en- 

 deavoring to prevent the picking of red 

 berries, claiming that the shrubs are 

 being exterminated. Should they suc- 

 ceed, the berries will disappear from the 

 market. M. M. 



SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



The lull following Thanksgiving has 

 rendered the market somewhat quiet, al- 

 though business is still reported to be 

 fair. In spite of nearly a week of rainy 

 weather, the outside stock is far from 

 having given out. This rain, however, 

 has been wiirm and not heavy enough to 

 beat the life out of the stock. There is 

 still a good supply of satisfactory large 

 chrysanthemums, although they are not 

 of such good quality as the mums of 

 two weeks ago, especially for shipping. 

 The end of the chrysanthemum season is 

 at hand, although the Japanese market 

 has been well supplied with them to 

 date. There will be pompon mums until 

 after the Christmas holidays, unless the 

 weather should become unusually in- 

 clement. Plenty of medium-sized chrys- 

 anthemums are also coming in. Carna- 

 tions are in grciter abundance. There 

 are plenty of Ophelia and Columbia 

 roses, the only shortage of these being 

 in Russells. The outdoor offering con- 

 sists of marigolds, both the common 

 varieties and the French, some stocks 

 and a few otlier garden flowers. Violets 

 are plentiful an<l good. The only real 

 shortage is in orchids, gardenias and 

 lilies of the valley. Orchids, especially, 

 are scarce and in considerable demand. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Gooch, wife of General A. J. 

 Gooch, of Darbee 's, is at her position in 

 the store again, having fully recovered 

 her health. 



M. Thomas, of the Thomas Tloral Co., 

 of which he was the senior partner, has 

 left for I'gypt, where he proposes to 

 spend some time. His brother, Thomas
