SAN MATEO, CAL. 



The first section of the new MacRorie- 

 McLaren greenhouses, just completed, is 

 of the latest iron-frame construction 

 and covers a space 100x230 feet. It is 

 declared by many to be the best com- 

 mercial structure of the kind on the 

 Pacific coast. It will be used for the 

 cultivation of orchids, exotics, trees, 

 shrubs, philaenopsis, Philippine orchids 

 and other flora. To the rear of the main 

 structure is a large lath house, 75x300 

 feet, which will be devoted to palms 

 and tree ferns. 



Mr. McLaren, of this firm, is a son of 

 Superintendent McLaren, of Golden 

 Gate park, and is one of the best known 

 men in the trade in the far west. The 

 firm contemplates the erection of more 

 houses of similar construction in the 

 near future. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The weather has turned cooler again 

 and everything is lovely except the 

 business, but that has completely disap- 

 peared from view for the time being. 

 Wedding affairs, which were plentiful 

 enough in June, have fizzled out and, 

 with the exception of a few funeral 

 orders, there is nothing worth mention- 

 ing. The pleasant weather has the 

 effect of greatly improving the quality 

 of the stock that is being sent into 

 town. Rarely at this season do we have 

 such quantities of high colored carna- 

 tions and roses, and although the latter 

 are not plentiful by any means, there is 

 enough fair stock to fill requirements. 

 Many of the growers are in the midst 

 of replanting now, and this makes less 

 stock to be had than we otherwise would 

 be burdened with. The outside stock 

 also shows the results of the cool spell 

 and is of the best quality throughout. 



Gladioli are now at their height and 

 are selling well. They cost the stores 

 from $2 to $4 per hundred, and there 

 is no surplus of good flowers. The 

 dahlia is not yet at its best, but we are 

 receiving some fine cactus sorts, which 

 have pleased the popular fancy and sell 

 at good prices. Sweet peas, except in 

 a few instances, are not long-stemmed, 

 and the public seems to be tiring of 

 them. Other kinds of outside stock are 

 as usual. Maidenhair and asparagus are 

 plentiful, and although they are held 

 at the same price per bunch as formerly, 

 the bunches are being . made much 

 larger, which, from the standpoint of 

 the retailer, is a move in the right di- 

 rection.
