They are excellent in quality. The supply promises to be ample. 



Express refrigerator cars leave for Chicago and New York every Tuesday and 



Friday. They run via Ogden, Cheyenne and Omaha. 

 We ship Chrysanthemums dry-packed. The boxes are light. This means a saving 



in express charges.

there are still plenty of gladioli. Carna- 

 tions are more nuuieroiis than tliey have 

 been for some weeks ])ast and there is 

 an ample sujjply of roses for all de- 

 mands. Violets, while not plentiful yet, 

 arc quite enough to satisfy the local 

 demand, and such flowers as delphiniums, 

 Iceland poppies, pomj)on dahlias, zinnias, 

 etc., are good and plentiful. Large crops 

 of strawflowers are coming in and the 

 retail trade is selling them both green 

 and dried. Gardenias are fairly plenti- 

 ful, but the new crop of orchids will not 

 begin arriving from the growers till 

 about September 21 and orchids, at pres- 

 ent, arc quite scarce. The chrysanthe- 

 mums now on the market include Chrys- 

 olora, Golden Glow, Early Frost, October 

 Frost, Monrovia and Unaka. 



Cooperative Market. 



The San Francisco Cooperative Flower 

 Market, 430 Bush street, opened "with 

 a bang," as those present enthusias- 

 tically declared. Promptly at 6:45 on 

 the morning of September 1, the gates 

 were rolled back in the presence of tlie 

 directors, and the first wagon, lieavily 

 laden with flowers, drove into the mar- 

 ket amid the cheers of a large crowd. 

 Otlier wagons followed, in a long pro- 

 cession, and florists flocked in to buy. 

 The market was opened without further 

 ceremonies. The only festivities were 

 those occasioned by the entrance of the 

 "hot dog" man, who was at once sur- 

 rounded by a hungry crowd. The first 

 (lay "s business is declared to have been 

 excellent. The directors, consisting of 

 four retailers and four growers, are: 

 V. y. Matraia, of the Art Floral Co.: 

 Charles Brown, of Brown & Kennedy: 

 B. Joseph, of Joset)h"s, and Frank 

 Thatcher, of Pelicano, Kossi & Co.; TI. 

 riath, of the Ferneries; Joseph T. Hay- 

 wind. Dave Arata and M. Eolleri. K. 

 ("auiioii is assistant attorney. Miss Eliz- 

 abeth (J. Walsh is the bookkeeper <if 

 the company. 



Various Notes. 



The directors of the Coiiperativn Mar- 

 ket have adopted the San Francisco 

 fashion of having business luncheons to 

 gether, at which matters of interest ami 

 ])roblems that arise from time to time 

 are discussed. 



H. A. Avansino, who recently pur 

 chased a rose nursery at San T>eandrn. 

 has space in the new Coiiix'rative !Mar- 

 kct. He was formerly manager for the 

 E. W. McLellan Co. and still devotes a 

 ])ortion of his time to that firm. The
