SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Mankct. 



Although the change in the situation 

 in a business way in San Francisco is 

 not marked, it is brightening somewhat 

 and the indications are favorable for 

 something still better in the near future. 

 With the return of the townspeople from 

 the country and the resumption of the 

 city schools, the season opens with some 

 resemblance to the favorable conditions 

 that existed before the fire. Flowers 

 show a slight stiffening in price and 

 somewhat shorter supplies, but the quota- 

 tions are yet low and we cannot expect 

 them to advance much till after the pres- 

 ent stretch of pleasant weather. 



Carnations have been cheaper during 

 the present summer than at any previous 

 time in the history of San Francisco. 

 The same can be said of the shorter 

 graded of roses, but the prices of other 

 kinds of stock have not changed to any 

 extent from that of other years. The 

 sweet pea growers have had a highly 

 successful season and have been enabled 

 to market their crops at fair prices. 

 Other classes of hardy outside stock have 

 likewise paid well and the growers have 

 been well satisfied. 



Asters are at their height at present 

 and the wholesalers are receiving fair 

 prices for their product, with the pos- 

 sible exception of short stemmed stock. 

 LiUum album and rnbrum are in good 

 demand and at good prices; from $1 to 

 $2 per dozen is charged by the growers 

 and the blooms move well at these rates. 

 Amaryllis of the dark pink variety was a 

 glut in the market last week, but they 

 stay in season only for a short time. The 

 later blooming varieties are much the 

 better sellers, from $3 to $4 a hundred 

 being the ruling prices last season. 



Funeral work has moved a little more 

 slowly than during the first week of the 

 month, a fact that has been noticeable 

 both in Oakland and Berkeley, as well 

 as on this side of the bay. 



Various Notes.

 with the Rosarie Co., has opened a store

MOVING CALIFORNIA PALMS. 



Please let me know when is the proper 

 time to take up, with a ball of earth, 

 such palms as Washingtonia robusta and 

 Phoenix Canariensis. I am located in 

 southern California. A. N. 



Hardy palms act quite differently from 

 many other classes of plants, for they 

 want to be transplanted from the open 

 ground at the time when they are mak- 

 ing their heaviest growth, which, if they 

 have been given a fair amount of water, 

 win be at the present time. 



In southern California the varieties 

 mentioned really have no resting season, 

 strictly speaking, and they can be han- 

 dled with safety at any time when they 

 will not be subject to cold, frosty 

 weather. At the present time, however, 

 there is absolutely no danger if a few 

 simple ideas are carried out. First of all, 

 see that the soil is sufficiently moist to 

 ball properly. Then cut off all the old 

 and straggling leaves, and if it is not 

 important to save all the foliage, the 

 palms will feel the check less in propor- 

 tion as it is removed. Now tie in the 

 branches into a snug bunch, which will 

 make the. handling easier and will also 

 assist in keeping the loose branches from

swaying too much in thfi vrind. It is well 

 to leave the palms tied up in this wi^ 

 for several weeks after they have been 

 transplanted. 



In making a ball of earth, it is better 

 to shape it long and narrow rather than 

 shallow and flat, beveling it off toward 

 the lower end. In proportion as tb» roots
