SAN FEANOISCO, CAL. - - 



The Market. 



The weather is neither too warm nor 

 too cold, and everything favors quan- 

 tities of blossoms. Never has there 

 been in the history of San Francisco 

 a better showing of seasonable flowers 

 than at this time. Although the bulb 

 crop is almost limited to Spanish iris and 

 gladioli, there are a few late tulips 

 and a few daffodils still to be seen. 

 Violets are completely over for the sea- 

 son and the same can be said of free- 

 sias, narcissi and lilacs. A few of the 

 later varieties of fruit blossoms stilf 

 show, but they are past their prime. 

 Inside stock such as roses and carna- 

 tions is not as plentiful as last week, 

 but it is still sufficiently heavy to be 

 very cheap. It would be misleading to 

 attempt to give prices on carnations. 

 The growers usually tal^e what is of- 

 fered, and when the stores have been 

 supplied the street hucksters take the 

 balance for almost any price. Boses, 

 however, hold their own somewhat bet- 

 ter. The moderately cool days and 

 nights of the last two weeks have kept 

 the crop from swamping the market. 

 As a consequence, there have been no 

 serious breaks for the last few days. 

 Sweet peas are cheaper, but they are 

 not overplentiful. The extreme dry- 

 ness everywhere has made it dif- 

 ficult to grow them successfully this 

 year, and all have suffered in conse- 

 quence. Valley is somewhat scarcer, 

 but Lilium longiflorum is plentiful. 

 Orchids are more in evidence than at 

 any time this year. The demand for 

 them is less than for the last two 

 months. Asparagus and maidenhair 

 fern, owing to the favorable weather, 

 are much better in quality, and the 

 growers are much more liberal with 

 the sizes of bunches furnished the re- 

 tailers.

The California Flower Market has 

 leased, for a period of fifteen years, 

 the new building which will be erected 

 by th# Macdonough Estate Co., on 

 Bush street, between Kearny street and 

 Grant avenue. The lot has a front of 

 fifty-eight feet and nine inches and a 

 depth of 207 feet. The building will 

 have two stories and basement. It 

 will cost $57,000. The basement, which 

 has a floor area of 13,700 feet, will be 

 devoted to the business of the Cali- 

 fornia Flower Market. The first floor 

 will have eight stores and the second 

 floor will be laid out in offices, which 

 will be rented out by the California 

 Flower Market.

The Market. 



Business is moving along in a satis- 

 factory way. The demand is holding up 

 nicely. There is plenty of stock to 

 take care of all calls. Boses are in full 

 cut. Kaiserins seem to be in unusually 

 heavy supply. They are a little soft 

 and prove poor shippers, but are good 

 for local use. Carnations are suflScient 

 to meet all demands, but are not in 

 such oversupply as to cause a slump 

 in prices. Mossise cattleyas are produc- 

 ing some elegant flowers, but the de-

mand has been slow, attributed a great 

 deal to there being such a variety of 

 stock on the market. Violets have 

 about vanished, which is just as well, 

 as the quality has been poor. Snap-

 novelties. Lilacs are blooming rapidly 

 in the yards.
