SAN FRANCISCO. 



TheMaifcet 



From a summary of opinions, the ship- 

 ping trade for Memorial day was not as 

 good as it was one year ago. It is yet 

 too soon to state definitely what the re- 

 tail trade in town amounted to, but prac- 

 tically all the shippers say the out-of- 

 town trade was light. This may be ac- 

 counted for in a general way by attrib- 

 uting it to the business depression, but, 

 to be more specific, it should be laid at 

 the door of the fact that it has been a 

 very favorable, cool spring in those usu- 

 ally warm interior towns where much 

 stock is used, and also the fact that the 

 country gstrden interests are yearly grow- 

 ing more conspicuous and more able to 

 supply the smaller centers. 



A few years ago all the large ranges 

 of greenhouses were situated in the 

 neighborhood of San Francisco, Los An- 

 geles and the other business centers, but 

 the increasing demands have been pro- 

 gressively met by concerns started in the 

 vicinity of the smaller places, and as a 

 consequence much of the Memorial day 

 business has been handled by growers in 

 suburban towns. It is but a few years 

 since San Francisco dealers used to skir- 

 mish two weeks in advance of Decoration 

 day among the growers, so that they 

 would be able to fill their out-of-town or- 

 ders, but within the last year or so there 

 has been a great change; they now stay 

 in their stores and have more stock of- 

 fered to them daily than they can pos- 

 sibly use. 



The prices at present are very low on 

 everything, with the exception of fancy 

 roses. Sweet peas continue to be the 

 most popular flowers and they cost the 

 retailers 75 cents per dozen bunches. Car- 

 nations bring from $1.50 to $3 per hun- 

 dred ; Bride gladioli, $1 per hundred ; col- 

 ored gladioli, $2 to $4 per hundred; 

 Easter lilies, $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen; 

 auratums, $2 to $3 per dozen, and valley, 

 $3 to $4 per hundred. Sweet peas and

Henry Kalcarnia, a florist living at 863 

 Wisconsin street, was brutally beaten at 

 10 o'clock Sunday night. May 23, by a 

 gang of roughs, who held him up at Wis- 

 consin and Twenty-fourth streets. Kal- 

 carnia had no money to satisfy the rapac- 

 ity of his assailants, so they beat him 

 cruelly with a gas pipe, injuring his 

 head so severely that his skull may be 

 fractured. Kalcarnia was found later in 

 an unconscious condition and was re- 

 moved to the Poterero emergency hospi- 

 tal. Later he was transferred to the cen-
