SAN FEANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Retail trade is gradually improving 

 as the season advances. The weather 

 has been unusually fine during the last 

 week, and that helps considerably. The 

 stock of flowers, on the whole, is not 

 plentiful; in fact, Saturday morning, 

 September 27, found the retailers fight- 

 ing for stock, which is a good indica- 

 tion. The trade looks forward to a 

 little extra stimulus from the Jewish 

 holidays. 



Mums seem to be coming in nicely 

 as. far as quality is concerned, but the 

 supply is a trifle short and the retailers 

 are always dubious as to how they 

 are going to meet their orders. A new 

 crop of carnations is coming in, but 

 the stems are extremely short. Carna- 

 tions are selling for 50 cents per bunch 

 on the wholesale market. Violets stand 

 at 75 cents per dozen and are not de- 

 livered to the retailers, as in former 

 years. The bunches are small; the 

 flowers are of poor quality and hardly 

 last three or four hours. There are 

 some fair Killarneys and American 

 Beauties, but they are not in particu- 

 larly good supply. Cattleyas are scarce, 

 perhaps more so than last week. Though 

 a good number of blooms of early 

 labiata have been brought to the mar- 

 ket, the demand is so great that it 

 quickly absorbs the supply. Phalaenop- 

 sis and other white orchids are at a 

 high premium' and are almost unpro- 

 curable. The many social functions and 

 big funerals have made heavy demands 

 on valley, and it is high-priced and 

 difficult to obtain. The first good 

 cyclamens arrived last week. Celestial 

 peppers are also procurable. Lilium 

 rubrum is on the wane and the scar- 

 city is greatly felt. Asters are prac- 

 tically unprocurable. 



Various Notes. 



Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, is visiting 

 in San Francisco and taking short joy 

 rides down the peninsula, accompanied 

 by his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Serveau. 



Patrick Orr, of the Fairmoimt Floral 

 Co., has left for Oroville, where he will 

 spend several weeks in order to recu- 

 perate.

 noon tea at his opening last week.
