Carl Brose, of Herbert Bateman, Inc., 

 George Eischen and Hunter Graham, of 

 the Alexandria Florist, have been out 

 after duck. They are all first-class 

 Nimrods. 



George Hall is nothiug if not honest 

 in his opinions. He thought he had not 

 time to exhibit at the big show, but, 

 after seeing it and noting the great 

 influx of visitors, he regards himself as 

 lacking in enterprise in not doing so 

 and he is loud in his praises of those 

 who did exhibit. That 's the spirit, Mr. 

 Hall, H. R. E. 



SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



A. slight rainfall, alternating with 



sunshine, has done some slight and tem- 

 porary damage to the chrysanthemum 

 crop. Weather conditions look promis- 

 ing, however, and the probability is that 

 there will not bo enough damp weather, 

 at present, to interfere with mum ship- 

 ments. The pompon mums suffer less 

 from dampness than the large varieties. 

 All the shippers seem to be busy. New 

 Orleans has consumed a large propor- 

 tion of the mums for several days, spe- 

 cial refrigerator cars being run. The 

 slight rainfall has helped the violet 

 crop, which is now in excellent condi- 

 tion. Roses, while fairly plentiful, are 

 still somewhat high in price. Carnations 

 are plentiful and good. Such stock as 

 marigolds, dahlias, gaillardias and other 

 outdoor flowers are plentiful. Sweet 

 peas are somewhat scarce. 



Florists' Meeting. 



Albert O. Stein was reelected presi- 

 dent of the San Francisco Retail Flo- 

 rists' Association at its last meeting. 

 The organization was formed a year 

 ago and Mr. Stein was its first president, 

 lie was one of the prime factors in the 

 Sunday closing movement among the 

 local florists. Some successful advertis- 

 ing campaigns have also been conducted 

 locally (luring the organization's first 

 year of life. Other officers elected at 

 the October meeting are: Charles W. 

 Brown, of Brown & Kennedy, vice- 

 president; J. Benedetti, treasurer, and 

 James T. Lynch, secretary. The asso- 

 ciation is participating in the Allied 

 Fall Flower Show, at the municipal au- 

 ditorium. In fact, the great bulk of
