SAN FBANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



The weather remains quite cool, and 

 everything favors cut flowers of all 

 kinds. There have been no noticeable 

 changes in stock during the last week. 

 Asters are now at their height and are 

 both good and cheap. Mums are not 

 yet in full supply, as the outside sup- 

 ply is not yet to hand except in small 

 lots. Japanese lilies and amaryllis are 

 much scarcer than they have been. 

 Dahlias are at their best. The bright 

 red varieties sell well, but none of the 

 other colors are in much favor with 

 flower buyers. Gladioli are getting 

 past their season, and only a few of 

 the later sorts are seen. Violets are 

 coming into town, but they are poor of 

 stem and color, and do not keep well. 

 Carnations are better than they have 

 been at any time this fall. Roses are 

 also much better than they were last 

 month. Valley is not overplentif ul, and 

 orchids are scarce. Business is quiet, 

 but there are some evidences of its 

 early resumption.

Frank Shibeley, of the Shibeley-Mann

The Market. 



The quantity of stock has decreased 

 considerably, especially the better 

 class of indoor flowers. The demand 

 for valley and orchids, for instance, 

 on certain days has been away above 

 the supply and other flowers must fre- 

 quently be substituted. There is not 

 enough of this class of stock grown 

 here, but at times there is far too 

 ntuch of the cheaper grades. The 

 early chrysanthemums are now making 

 a little better show, with Golden Glow 

 in the front, as usual. Carnations are 

 plentiful. Gladioli are "aot quite so 

 numerous. There is an abundance of 

 centaureas. Asters are past their best. 

 Outdoor roses are fair, but the indoor 

 flowers are . short-stemmed and, as a 

 rule, are thin in texture. A few more 

 weeks and much better stock will be 

 forthcoming. Greens are plentiful,' 

 especially the outdoor sorts. Good 

 maidenhair ferns are not overplentif ul 

 and they sell well. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Los Angeles Horticultural Society was 



held September 2, in EruckehergH 

 hall. There was a fine attendance to 

 hear W. W. Felgate speak on "Per 

 ennials and Their Culture." A large 

 number of ladies were present. The 

 interest in this natural style of gar 

 deuing is gaining ground here, and in 

 the discussion which followed " Mr. 

 Felgate 's excellent paper it wae plain 

 that the importance of the subject was 

 fully realized. Mr. Felgate dwelt con 

 siderably on the propagation of per- 

 ennials and his remarks were followed 

 closely and with iuteresL 



President Winsel 's call for a. report 

 from the flower show committee 

 brought out the fact that nothing had 

 been done but that great things were 

 proposed. 



Some splendid zinnias were ex- 

 hibited by Mr. Felgate, the flowers 

 being immense and of exquisite color 

 ing. 



Various Notes. . 



Lanss Bros, continue to improve 

 their place and they are working up a 

 fine stock of a considerable variety of 

 plants, more than is usual at local 

 nurseries. The cute down-easter said, 

 "Never prophesy until you know," 

 but a prophecy of success for the 

 Lanss boys seems a pretty safe one. 



Shipping business opened up 

 strongly at the beginning of the month 

 at the Los Angeles Flower Market. 

 Probably the cooler weather and rains 

 in the hills had something to do with 

 this, but there is a better tone to busi 

 ness generally. There is mighty little 

 stock left on the tables here at night.
