while roses are scarce and of a poor 

 grade. California violets are more plen- 

 tiful and are arriving in good condi- 

 tion. There will be few, if anj', Christ- 

 mas lUies and it looks now as if poin- 

 settias would be scarce also. Many of 

 the azalea shipments came through in 

 bad condition, owing to the cold weath- 

 er encountered while en route. 



Various Notes. 



The Florist^' Club held its regular 

 meeting on Thursday night, December 

 7. Much important business came be- 

 fore the club and the following officers 

 were elected for the ensuing year: Pres- 

 ident, Henry Benthien; vice-president, 

 A. G. Seamons; secretary, Fred Smith; 

 treasurer, A. A. Hinz; trustee, Louis F. 

 Tschunko. 



A report of the last meeting of the 

 club bowling team will be found on an- 

 other page, under the head of "Bowl- 



ing.

Everything is in Christmas array and 

 all that is left for the final rush is 

 trimming and arranging basket effects. 

 Poinsettias are certainly the predomi- 

 nating flower of the season. The de- 

 mand for red roses and carnations usu- 

 ally exceeds the supply, so all stock is 

 being carefully looked after. Basket 

 arrangements and fancy fern dishes are 

 in great demand, the window displays 

 being the best evidence of their popu- 

 larity. 



Holly is scarce, and the retailers get 

 $1 per pound for the berried varieties, 

 while the wreaths go at from $1 to $3 

 each. Beautifully arranged baskets and 

 wreaths of ruscus have also proved good 

 sellers; the brilliancy appeals to the 

 artistic taste. E. E. C. 



SAN FEANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The weather has been uncomfortably 

 warm for several days, with a dry north 

 wind blowing, plenty of dust on the city 

 streets and everything quite the reverse 

 of what it should be in the middle of 

 winter. This portion of California is 

 badly in need of rain and nothing less 

 than a few good, heavy showers will re- 

 store general confidence and cause the 

 florists, along with all other trades, to 

 get their share of the money which 

 would be spent with considerable prodi- 

 gality if a few showers started the ball 

 rolling. 



Flowers of all kinds are not over- 

 plentiful, nor are they high priced or 

 in as great demand as we should like to 

 see them. When Christmas was only 

 ten days away, the price of carnations 

 was only from 30 to 50 cents per dozen, 

 with almost any quantity in sight. 

 Roses, with the possible exception of 

 some fancy stock, were selling at from 

 50 cents to $1 per dozen. These prices 

 are fully twenty-five per cent less than 

 they were one year ago, and the stock 

 does not move so fast, Violets are good
