SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



While our eastern cou8in| have been 

 sweltering in an unsuccessful effort to 

 keep cool, San Franciscans 'have been 

 wearing overcoats all day Song in an 

 effort to keep warm. We*"' have seen 

 so little of the sun during the month 

 of June that we are beginning to won- 

 der what a warm day would feel like, 

 and cold winds have entirely displaced 

 everything else except Pacific ocean 

 fogs. As a consequence, although flow- 

 ers are not especially plentiful, they 

 are of better quality than those usually 

 seen in the shops at this time. Sweet 

 peas are really about all that are a drug 

 in the market now. While these are 

 popular and used in enormous quanti- 

 ties daily, the supply is so great that 

 they can be bought at almost any price. 

 Gladioli are somewhat more plentiful 

 than they have been, but do not move 

 welL Other kinds of outside stock 

 are as usual. Business in the line of 

 wedding decorations is fair and June 

 is likely to be a shade better than the 

 same month last year, if the good work 

 is kept up. 



Various Notes. 



Adolph Ludemann is on a few weeks' 

 trip to Oregon and Washington. 



George Fitzgerald, recently of San 

 Jose, Cal., is with the E. Gift Nursery 

 Co., of West Berkeley, Cal. 



P. McDonell, of Alden, is erecting a

I. J. Fraser is no longer connected 

 with the Eden Vale Nursery Co., of 

 Eden Vale, Cal. 



Ferrari Bros, are remodeling several 

 of their rose houses and will install a 

 large heating plant to replace the one

George A. Putnam, a prominent horti- 

 culturist of Ignacio valley, near Marti- 

 nez, has commenced suit in the Superior 

 Court against the Oregon Nursery Co. 

 for $1,624^ the cost of a lot of nursery 

 stock, which he claims was not as rep- 

 resented. 



John Vallance, manager of the plant 

 department of C. C. Morse & Co., is on 

 a trip to Sacramento and vicinity. 



Quite a number of local dealers are 

 attending the sessions of the Pacific

YELLOW MASGUEBITES. 



I bought a lot of yellow marguerites 

 and they grew great, coarse leaves, 

 and either did not flower or the flow- 

 ers were deformed. Can I take cut- 

 tings from them for another year and 

 shall I take the fine cuttings or the 

 coarse onesf A. L. S. 



It is a common characteristic of the 

 yellow marguerites to throw coarse 

 growths, frequently blind. It is of no 

 use trying to secure any cuttings at 

 this season from either yellow or white 

 varieties. Head the plants back and 

 plant them outdoors. Better still, if 

 you can spare a portion of your cold- 

 frame, plant them out in it and water 

 them occasionally through the summer. 

 It is usually September before proper 

 cuttings can be secured. These should 

 be thin, rather than coarse, and it is
