and are about the best selling flower. 

 Orchids are more plentiful, but valley is 

 scarcer. Other lines of stock do not 

 show any materiai change. 



Various Notes. 



Otto Saakes, of Los Angeles, has de- 

 parted for his home town after a short 

 visit spent here. 



Walter Edgington is no longer con- 

 nected with J. A. Carbone, the West 

 Berkeley orchid grower. 



Fred S. Higgins is back with the 

 Hackel Floral Co., on Powell street, 

 after an absence from town of several 

 months. 



Chas. Bagnall is located with Clarke 

 Bros., in their Oakland store. 



T. E. Mansell, formerly connected 

 with the horticultural department of the 

 University of California, is on a six 

 months' trip to England. 



Carl Purdy, of Ukiah, Cal., is in town. 



A visit to the new range of glass re- 

 cently erected by the H. M, Sanborn 

 Co. at Berkeley showed plenty of thrifty 

 roses and a good cutting in sight for the 

 holidays. G.

The Market. 



Business generally, following the 

 Thanksgiving spurt, has been quiet. A 

 lot of fine chrysanthemums are still com- 

 ing in and indications point to a fair 

 supply for Christmas. Good carnations 

 are meeting with a constant demand. 

 The mild, dull weather is causing rather 

 soft stock, and splits are more in evi- 

 dence than at any time this season. 

 Paper Whites and Eomans are arriving 

 in good shape, but as yet the demand 

 is hardly equal to the supply. Califor- 

 nia violets are selling well among those 

 who like this class of stock. Christmas 

 trees and greens are, as usual, blocking 

 up vacant lots. 



Various Notes. 



At the last meeting of the Florists' 

 Club it was decided to give three prizes, 

 of $10, $5 and .$3, respectively, for the 

 best design for a florists' float, to be 

 used in next season's Potlateh parade, 

 competition in this design to be open to 

 the world. 



At the establishment of the Washing- 

 ton Floral Co., conducted by Mrs. L. W. 

 McCoy, Joe Chalmers, the manager, has 

 a splendid lot of poinsettias. They are 

 preparing to meet a large Christmas de- 

 mand. 



L. P. Walz reports that orders for 

 English holly are coming in. He has se- 

 cured a good supply of the imported ar- 

 ticle. Locally, there is not quite the 

 usual supply of berries on the trees. 



J, J. Bonnell has just finished unload- 

 ing five carloads of imported evergreens, 

 roses, etc., from Europe. He pronounces 

 the nursery business good and is rapidly 

 filling up his new grounds at Kirkland, 

 across Lake Washington. 



The Burdett Floral Co. had a pretty 

 display of Eomans at their store on First 

 avenue and Denny way last week. A 

 massed effect in one window was espe- 

 cially effective. 



John Holze, of the Queen City Floral 

 Co., is sadly missing his "better half," 

 who is away in the east, seeing her 

 friends. 



John Sahle, at Brighton, has a brother 

 from the east visiting him at present. 

 They made a little trip to Vancouver 

 last week and report favorably of condi- 

 tions there. T. W.
