SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



There is some diversity of opinion as 

 to the amount of profit in Thanksgiving 

 trade. Some retailers claim that the bulk 

 of sales was equal to those of one year 

 ago, while others say that they did not 

 equal them by twenty-five per cent. There 

 were apparently as many sales made but 

 they were for smaller amounts and, al- 

 though a great deal of stock was han- 

 dled, it was of a cheaper grade than that 

 usually sold at this season. 

 . Violets and carnations were in the best 

 demand, while fancy roses and big chrys- 

 anthemums were not so eagerly bought 

 up. Tons of red berries were handled 

 and they formed a large bulk of the sales 

 with many of the smaller dealers. Al- 

 though the profits on these are large 

 enough, the sales are usually for small 

 amounts and they take up much time and 

 space in handling. 



Valley, narcissi, hyacinths and cycla- 

 mens sold fairly well, but not at the 

 prices they should have brought. The 

 growers are stiflfening somewhat on the 

 prices of carnations and all good stock 

 is held at 50 cents per dozen. Roses, es- 

 pecially of the light colors, are cheaper 

 in proportion, but they can be expected 

 to advance in price at any moment. 



Bouness outside of the Thanksgiving 

 day trade is fair, especially in the line 

 of f unpral /orders,

HOLIDAY PROSPECTS. 



In San Francisco and Vicinity. 



• 



Now that the first of the season's 

 holidays is over, the dealers can turn 

 their attention to the coming ones. There 

 was some disappointment to tne retailers 

 along certain lines, but the growera ap- 

 pear to be more fortunate thus far. 

 Prices are not excessive and there is 



With ordinary climatic conditions we 

 can expect from the growers fully as 

 much stock as' there was offered by them 

 one year ago. There is this exception, 

 however, in the case of roses, that not 

 a few growers have turned their houses 

 to carnations and, as there has practi- 

 cally been no building during the past 

 year, the difference will be noticeable. 



Practically all the indoor mums are 

 gone. Violets are at the same acreage 

 devoted to them last year, but they are 

 cheaper than a year ago. 



Poinsettias in pans and pots look well, 

 and a majority of the available stock
