SAN FRANCISCO. 



ThcMAfkct 



We are in the midst of the Portola 

 festivities at the present writing, and 

 never has San Francisco looked so gay 

 or given itself over to such a season of 

 jollity and pageantry. There are at least 

 200,000 additional people at this time in 

 the town, and to say that the stores of 

 all kinds have profited greatly thereby la 

 putting it mildly. The weather has been 

 all that could be wished for, and the 

 townspeople, as well as the dwellers from 

 other places, have shown a splendid in- 

 clination to spend money, which has been 

 a great benefit to the receipts of the 

 florists. Bed and yellow are the ofl&cial 

 colors, and anything in the flower line 

 answering that description has been 

 eagerly bought. Quite a demand has been 

 created for carnations, roses, mums, 

 ijaillardias and similar flowers. There 

 lias been no effort, however, on the -part 

 I if the growers to take any undue advan- 

 tage of conditions ajid the prices have 

 lot been raised in any instance. 



Stock of all kinds is easier, in spite 



it' the increased sale, than at any time 



or several months. Violets, which have 



)oen only in moderate supply, have be- 



ome quite plentiful and are the most 



! opular flower at this time. Seventy-five 



■nts per dozen bunches is the ruling rate 



aarged to the stores, and the retail price 



'- about twice that figure. 



Chrysanthemums are now in full blast 



nd the demand is about equal to the 



ipply. The smaller, earlier flowered 



i)rts are rapidly giving way to the later 



nd better flowers, and the quality 



^iroughout is as good as we have ever 



^cen. Carnations are daily becoming 



'nore plentiful and the new plantings are 



now well in flower. Boses, with the ex- 



'cption of Beauties, are in fair supply 



:>nd of good quality. 



Outside stuff is beginning to show the 

 f^ffects of the lateness of the season and 

 the close picking, and another couple of 

 weeks will see the ending of much of

 to be a bit scarcer and the cuttings show 

 the results of the heavy inroads on it. 



Funeral work in San Francisco and 

 surrounding towns is good, and the fes- 

 tive occasions are consuming everything 

 else. 



VariooB Notes. 



Henry Melde, of Eureka, Cal., is in 

 town for a few days' visit. 



G. A. Lundy, until recently manager

 the Thorsted Floral Co. 's new store, on

 heavy demand for blooms at this time

Taken all in all, the season of 1909 

 has been a better one for growth than 

 would be expected from the cold, late 

 spring, the dry summer and the pessi- 

 mistic character of many reports from 

 nursery centers. 



The United States Co. has been in- 

 corporated at "Wilmington, Del., for the 

 purpose of engaging in the nursery busi- 

 ness. The capital stock is $100,000, and 

 the incorporators are E. L. Squire, G. 

 W. Dorsey and others. 



Several nurseries, both east and west, 

 have contributed premiums for the big 

 apple show to be held at Denver, January 

 3 to 8. H. G. Wolff, the Denver nur-
