The Weekly Florists' Review, 



APRIL 5, 1900. 



Dutch bulbs in that section, writes: 



"I now have 250,000 bulbs in the 

 ground. My hyafinths are now bloom- 

 ing. Crocuses (25.000) were in bloom 

 the past three weeks. We have had 

 the mildest winter in ten years, only 

 two mornings with the temperature at 

 13 and lU degrees, the remainder of the 

 time ranging between 28 and 48 de- 

 grees. Narcissus came in bloom three 

 weeks ago. English filberts were in 

 bloom Jan. 15 and are now well set. 



"Our island being surrounded by 

 water that is never below 13 de.s^rees in 

 winter and never above 55 degrees in 

 summer, with heavy dews all the sea- 

 son, the conditions are peculiarly fa- 

 vorable to the growth of the bulbs. By 

 planting hyacinths late, say in Novem- 

 ber, they always come through safely 

 and grow to perfection. I am now in 

 my ninth year here." 



SAN FRANCISCO.

Various Notes. 



Mr. Chas. Hasselbacher is cutting the 

 best Kaiserins coming into market. 



Mr. Peter Wadlinger has a very fine 

 seedling carnation with a grand stem, 

 color dark shade of pink. 



Mr. J. Gilmore will erect 100.000 feet 

 of glass on his new place at Elmhurst. 

 Work on the plant was commenced 

 this week, and when completed will be 

 one of the largest places on the coast. 



Mr. H. M. Morse has just received a 

 copy of the Florists' Manual, by Wm. 

 Scott, and regrets he did not have It a 

 year ago when he first started in busi- 

 ness. Mr. Morse thinks it a great book. 



Mr. John Jack has a fine show of 

 pansies at the race track. Mr. Jack has 

 the carnation fever and if he does 

 them as well as he does the pansies 

 many fine vases must be expected. 



On the 13th of March Joseph Mur- 

 phy, an expressman, drove up in front 



of the florist store of F. C. Jaeger, 23G 



Sutter street, and left his horse fas- 

 tened there. In the absence of Mur- 

 phy, who had gone to a neighboring 

 store, his horse started in to chew up 

 a few palms that were standing on the 

 sidewalk. Mr. Debano, who has been 

 employed by F. C. Jaeger, moved the 

 plants out of danger, and also removed 

 part of the harness from the horse to 

 secure his employer for damage done. 

 When Murphy returned, so Debano 

 and Jaeger claim, the clerk notified 

 him of the wrecked plants and said 

 the missing portion of the harness 

 would be returned on payment of 25 

 cents, which represented the foliage 

 consumed by the horse. The amount 

 was refused, hot woids followed, and 

 Murphy threw a heavy flower pat at 

 Debano. The latter avoided the mis- 

 sile and Murphy picked up another pot 

 to take a second shot. Fearing he 

 would be worsted Debano caught up a 

 heavy pair of shears and threw them 

 at Murphy, striking him on the fore- 

 head. Jaeger assisted and Murphy was 

 thrown from the store and the bit of 

 leather to which he laid claim fol- 

 lowed him. Murphy was taken to the 

 hospital, where it was found his skull 

 was fractured, and lingered on to the 

 25th of March, when he died. Debano 

 is an Egyptian and will be held for 

 murder. He is held in high esteem by 

 his emplover who, with another clerk, 

 will testify in his behalf. 



Mr. James Kidd, late of the Sunset 

 Seed & Plant Co., has returnei 

 to his old stamping ground with 

 Wm. Elliott & Sons. Dey street. 

 New York. Mr. Kidd says he is glad 

 to be among the snow once more. 

 That's all right; just wait till the ther- 

 mometer gets down 30 below zero. His 

 thoughts will turn to the Golden state. 



Mr. Robert Armstrong, at Fernwood, 

 has come to the conclusion that it is 

 not best to live alone. On the 24th of 

 April he will be married to Miss Jennie 

 Curtis, Oakland. Cal., a very pleasing 

 young lady with many accomplish- 

 ments Congratulations are now in or- 

 der. J- N-
