soil, they are heavy feeders during their 

 flowering season and quickly respond to 

 a good mulching of well rotted manure, 

 wMch should be applied once during the 



year. 



The trouble with this flower has been 

 that we had too large a percentage of 

 poorly grown and off-colored blooms. 

 With this new race of gladioli, if this 

 year's demand is any criterion, there 

 should be no trouble to make them one 

 of our best paying crops. Bunches of 

 one variety sell much better than mixed 

 lots and I have noticed that there are 

 about ten varieties in my collection of 

 twenty-five that seem to be especially at- 

 tractive to the public. The small white, 

 early-flowered gladiolus. The Bride, has 

 always been one of our best selling 

 blooms and becomes especially valuable 

 during Decoration week. Many thou- 

 sands of these can be grown on a small 

 space and they respond especially well 

 to applications of liquid manure applied 

 two or three times during their growing 

 season. G. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Business is gradually getting better 

 and as it nears Thanksgiving prices are 

 stiffening somewhat. The weather is 

 very favorable for an abundance of flow- 

 ers and the chances are that there will be 

 an over-supply next week. The yellow 

 mums were cut closely for the California- 

 Stanford foot ball contest last Saturday 

 and many thousands were disposed of to 

 the sympathizers for the Berkeley team. 

 The weather still continues most favor- 

 able for mums and although the prices 

 have been better for the last week, there 

 is no shortage of flowers. Indoor flow- 

 ers are bringing from $1 to $2.50 per 

 dozen. Mrs. Jerome Jones is the l«st 

 white offered and Bonnaffon the best of 

 the yellows. Boses are in fair supply 

 and Beauties are somewhat more plenti- 

 ful. Boman hyacinths have made their 

 appearance. They sell at three dozen for 

 a dollar. Carnations are still selling at 

 the same prices they did for the past 

 month. 



Various Notes. 



The Cox Seed Co. has received a large 

 consignment of rhododendrons from Bel- 

 gium. They arrived in splendid shape. 



Several enterprising hucksters did a 

 very thriving business with yellow mums 

 on the day of the big foot ball event at 

 Berkeley. They purchased heavily of 

 yellow mums at the rate of about 50 

 cents per dozen and had no difficulty in 

 selling them at 25 to 50 cents each. It 

 was estimated that not less than 50,000 

 flowers were displayed at the game. 



John Pouyal is receiving some extra 

 fine Estelle carnations from J. P. Mic- 

 Donell, of Alden. 



Domoto Bros, have just received a 

 large importation of tree peonies from 

 Japan. They will import very largely 

 for the coming season. G. 



Charleston, W. Va. — The Charleston 

 Cut Flower & Plant Co. has been organ- 

 ized vnth S. A. Gregg secretary and 

 treasurer and H. F. Winter manager, the 

 former having been until recently with 

 J. W. Alexander. On November 19 

 they opened their store at 816 Quarrier 

 street and gave away small palms as 

 souvenirs. It was a good advertisement
