overhead. Lath houses always should be 

 constructed with benches of the usual 

 height, so that it will not be necessary 

 to put the flats or small pots on the 

 floor. 



On hardy seedlings too much water 

 should not be used, and plenty of air 

 should be given to the houses. This en- 

 courages a heavier growth and renders 

 the young plants less liable to a setback 

 when they are transferred to cooler quar- 

 ters. G. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market 



The aster crop is now at its height, 

 and as a consequence there has been less 

 4lemand for carnations and other stock. 

 The price of asters is about twenty-five 

 j)er cent less than that obtained by the 

 growers last season. The quality of most 

 of the stock is fair, although it is easy to 

 see that a considerable quantity of it ha.s 

 been neglected. Swpot peas, owing to 

 the continued cool weather, are better at 

 tiiLs timo than tliev liavc been for sev- 



eral months. They cost the retailers an 

 average of 75 cents per dozen bunches. 

 An improvement has been noted also in 

 the supply of roses, and for the same 

 reason. The price of good stock remains 

 about the same as it has for the last 

 month. 



Amaryllises and Japanese lilies are to 

 be had in any quantity at low prices, but 

 they are of slow sale. Gladioli are about 

 over for the season. 



Business is quiet enough, although 

 there are indications that there will be 

 considerable doing in a short time. Many 

 people are returning from the country, 

 and now that the schools have opened 

 again quite a difference will soon be 

 noted. Funeral work continues to be 

 the main source of revenue at present, 

 and on several days last week there was 

 an abundance of it, well divided among 

 the various dealers. 



In Oakland and Alameda business has 

 been fair, considering the season. There 

 has been a good quantity of wedding 

 work in addition to the usual number of 

 funeral orders. Things in general are 

 slowly but surely drifting around to
