 ceived special mention for their display

 Flood, Menlo Park, received first prize

 ever seen here. J. \V. Bagge also made 

 a big exhibit of coleus, for which he 

 received first prize. 



W. H. Crocker's exhibit of dahlias 

 was wonderful when it is considered that 

 we are now in the winter season.

 large display of Japanese plants, palms 

 and ferns, also roses, carnations and 

 chrysanthemums. The Garden City Pot-

 Columbia, S. C, and Pedro Llubere 

 made attractive displays. 



Frark Pelicano received first prize

 second prize for a design representing 

 a wine cask of Estelle carnations, ferns 

 and clusters of grapes. Geo. Hansen, of 

 Berkeley, made an interesting exhibit 

 of drawings for landscape gardening.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Over six months since wo have had a 

 drop of rain. This state of affairs af- 

 fects business in general to a great ex- 

 tent and incidentally of course the flo- 

 rists' trade as well. Flowers of all kinds 

 are plentiful and the prices remain about 

 the same as they have for the past 

 month. Roses, owing to the very favor- 

 able weather, are more plentiful than is 

 usual at this season of the year. Car- 

 nations are more abundant, also, and 

 somewhat cheaper. Outdoor mums can 

 be had at any price and they are of 

 good quality throughout. Indoor mums 

 are scarce and from $1.50 to $2.50 per 

 dozen is asked by the growers for their 

 best stock. Violets are hardly equal to 

 the demand. The stores are paying from 

 75 cents to $1 per dozen bunches. There 

 is still some outdoor stock offered, but it 

 shows the results of picking long after 

 the season has ended. 



Various Notes. 



A visit to the greenhouses of McLellan 

 & Co., at Burlingame, shows everything 

 in splendid shape for the approaching 

 season. The houses of Beauty, Bride and 

 ^laid are coming in during the present 

 warm spell at a rapid rate.
