in the fog nurtured portions of the red- 

 wood belt. Its abundant berries grow 

 very juicy and delicious and are much 

 .sought for preserving and pie-making. 

 The branches are cut to the length of 

 three or four feet and bunched in bun- 

 dles weighing about five pounds each. 

 They keep splendidly from ten days to 

 two weeks in water and cost the florists 

 about 25 cents per bimch. This is eas- 

 ily the most valuable of our native 

 greens and one that, although it has been 

 handled but a few years, it would be 

 indeed hard to do without. 



The common fango or marsh grass is 

 used in large quantities for parlor dee- 

 orating and mixing with chrysanthe- 

 mums and other large, long-stemmed 

 flowers. It grows abundantly in our 

 northern marshes apd is bundled in 

 bunches weighing four to five pounds 

 and sells at 2.5 cents wholesale. Acacia 

 molissima, although not a native tree, is 

 in high favor at this time of the year, 

 when it is in full bloom and its great 

 bunches of fragrant yellow blossoms are 

 seen everywhere. It is a fair keeper 

 and very decorative. In the early win- 

 ter in the south and somewhat later 

 northward the wild currant (Eibes ghi- 

 tinosum) becomes a thing of beauty 

 hardly to have been expected. The youns; 

 foliage, of a clear, brilliant green, is 

 gayly decked with the long clusters of 

 peculiarly fresh pink blossoms. The 

 stems and flowers have a strong heavy 

 fragrance and keep well in water. 



The holly-leaved barberry, Beberis 

 aquifolium, is gaining great favor with 

 us as a decorative green. Like the huck- 

 leberry, it grows on the high coast 

 range mountains of both California and

LOOMIS FLORAL CO. 



Loomis, Cal. 



Oregon and at this season of the year 

 tlie leaves are richly touched with bronze 

 scarlet and yellow markings. In the 

 springtime it is covered with masses of 

 bright yellow blossoms and in the sum- 

 mer the leaves turn a beautiful dark 

 glossy green. 



The Californian trillinm makes its ap- 

 pearance in market early in the spring 

 and helps the florist to boom the season. 

 They grow about a foot high and are 

 very showy with their wine-colored blos- 

 soms, like the wild flower I have just 

 mentioned, our dealers make considerable 

 use of the Solomon 's seal during the 

 months of March, April and June. It is 

 gathered in vast quantities in our north- 

 ern counties and shipped to market where 



it finds a ready sale. It is sometimes 

 called wild valley but it belongs to an 

 entirely difl'erent class of plants. Oak 

 branches, buds and blossoms of several 

 kinds of eucalyptus, floweriug stems of 

 the scrub willow and wild blackberry 

 branches all help to decorate the florists ' 

 windows and fiU in where flowers could 

 not be used to advantage. G. 



San Francisco. — The Eetail Floiists' 

 Association, composed of twenty-eight of 

 the leading retailers, has filed a protest 

 with the Board of Works, seeking to se- 

 cure the restriction of the privileges of 

 the street venders who occupy prominent 

 sidewalk stands and are said to sell 

 $100,000 in stock each year.
