good EuRsells; these are short of the de- 

 mand, but there are plenty of fine qual- 

 ity Premiers. Ophelias, Cohimbias and 

 an abundance of reds, so the shortage 

 of good Russells is not keenly felt. Car- 

 nations are also in heavy supply and of 

 good quality, particularly the white and 

 pink varieties. Red carnations are good 

 property. The holders arc getting higher 

 prices for them than for the other 

 colors and refuse to sell reds unless a 

 fair amount of the other colors arc pur- 

 chased also. The only other thing that 

 can be called short of the demand is vio- 

 lets; they show the effects of the rain 

 and, more especially, the cold weather. 

 Some of the shippers experienced diffi- 

 culty in filling their long-distance orders 

 on violets the first of the week and the 

 local market is rather lightly sui)])lied 

 now, compared with the demand. There 

 are .still some good chrysanthemums on 

 the market for local use, but they are 

 too soft for shipping any distance. Cut 

 poinsettias leave nothing to be desired 

 in supply, (piality or demand. Heavy 

 supplies are coming from the southern 

 part of the state, as usual, but the local 

 poinsettias compare well with the south- 

 ern product this year. Bulbous stock is 

 a little early and the market offers a 

 good lot of Paper White narcissi and 

 freesias. English holly was here in 

 quantity from the northwest, and had 

 a strong call. California red berries 

 were likewise plentiful and good, and 

 met with a good demand, together with 

 wreaths of redwood, cones and other 

 decorative material. 



Various Notes. 



George Wagner, of Joseph 's, says holi- 

 day sales started in the first of the 

 week, and he looks for a banner busi- 

 ness. This firm made a special showing 

 of Chinese chests and baskets of Cali- 

 fornia fruits, jams, etc., which sold out 

 completely to people wanting gifts to 

 send cast. 



Mr. Podesta, of Podesta & Baldocchi, 

 reported that the Christmas business 

 started off briskly, and this firm was 

 well prepared to handle all that might 

 come its way. Fifteen extra men were 

 added to the force for the rush and had

arranged a splendid showing of plants 

 to take full advantage of the increased 

 tioor space, recently added. 



With the increased facilities which 

 their i)resent location affords, F. C. 

 .laeger & Ron expected to about double 

 last December's business in the smaller 

 store across the street. They had 

 stocked up accordingly, and Mr. Jaeger, 

 .Ir., said that early sales left nothing to 

 be desired. 



Frank I'clicano, of Pclicano, Rossi & 

 Co., says he never saw the market bet- 

 ter sujiplied with holiday stock and he 

 thinks the lower prices will have a 

 stimulating effect on the Christmas 

 trade.
