LEADING RETAIL FLORISTS 



The retail florists, whose cards appear on this and the two following pages, are prepared to fill orders from other florists for local delivery on the usual 



basis. If you wish to be represented under this heading, now is the time to place your order. 



Alexander McConnell 



571 Fifth Avenue, Windsor Arcade NEW YORK CITY 



Telegraph orders forwarded to any part of the United States, Canada, and all principal cities of Europe. Orders transferred or intrusted by 

 the trade to our selection for delivery on steamships or elsewhere receive special attention. 



Telephone Calls : 340 and 341 38th Street Cable Address : ALEXCONNKLI. TTestern Union Code 



This is largely due to the favorable cli- 

 matic conditions, and as a consequence 

 the demand for them is heavier than 

 ever before. 



Colored gladioli are being used largely 

 in decorations and have proven good sell- 

 ers. Other kinds of outside stock are 

 used to fill in and can be had at almost 

 any price. A few early asters are seen, 

 but the bulk of the crop will not ap- 

 pear before next month. Valley moves 

 slowly, as also does Lilium longiflorum. 



Over in Oakland the retailers com- 

 plain of the usual summer dullness, with 

 an ocasional sprinkling of funeral pieces 

 and once in a while a wedding order. 



Various Notes. 



P. Von Linger, of the Holland Nursery 

 Co., is on a two months' trip to Hol- 

 land. 



The Pacific Floral Co. has opened a 

 retail store on University avenue, Ber- 

 keley, Cal. 



D. J. Huston, of Dietrich & Huston, 

 Los Angeles, passed through San Fran- 

 cisco on his way to Seattle during the 

 present week. 



George D. Marble is on a two months' 

 vacation in the northern part of the 

 state. 



Word has been received from Ahwah- 

 nee, Madera county, California, of the 

 death of Alexander Craw, formerly state 

 deputy commissioner of horticulture. He 

 was well and favorably known by all 

 the horticulturists on this coast and had 

 only recently retired to take a well earned 

 rest in the neighborhood of Yosemite Val- 

 ley, in the hope of regaining his health. 

 Mr, Craw was distinguished particularly 

 for the part he played in the long fight 

 that resulted in the discovery of bene- 

 ficial insects for the destruction of scale 

 in orange orchards, which threatened on 

 several occasions to completely wipe out 

 that industry in California. G.

The Market 



The summer dullness is camping with 

 us and we may expect this order of 

 things for a few weeks at least. June has 

 taken its departure, after making a fairly 

 good showing. There was a heavy sprin- 

 kling of wedding orders, which came as 

 a relief after so much funeral work the 

 preceding month. 



It is generally admitted that the season 

 just ended was a profitable one, with 

 collections good. The . cut flower market 

 is well supplied with a splendid assort- 

 ment. Indoor grown roses and carna- 

 tions are still showing a healthy growth, 

 but prices are not so firm as a year ago. 

 Sweet peas and snapdragons, such as 

 grown in the northwest, would be hard to 

 beat anywhere and we have plenty of 

 them of the richest colors. Added to
