The Weekly Florists' Review. 



hi t.iuki: I.",. l'.lilR. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



i 'lirvsiiitlieimims are here in abund- 

 ance, both those grown out of doors and 

 Eon ed Sowers from the greenho 



outdoor bli is are grown entirely by 



the Chinese in the oeighborh I of San 



Mateo and Burliogame and irm be 

 bought as lovi as 5 cents per dozen, but 

 the better quality brings about 20 to 

 25 cents per dozen, and they are almost 

 as large as those brought from under 

 glass. Thej are shorter of stem, of 

 and the flowers do not have as 



fine a texture. In the neighlinrli I nt 



San Rafael the climate ins tn suit the 



chrysanthemum very well and the yel- 

 lows, especially Bonnaffon, rannot ' be 

 beaten anywhere. Carnations are sorne- 

 wliat scarce, as most of the growers are 

 throwing out the old stock and the young 

 plants will not be in bloom for several 

 works yet. Prices remain about the 

 - last week. Eoses are not plenti- 

 ful either, although the quality is some- 

 what improved. Kaiserins and Testouts 

 bring from 50 nuts to 75 cents whole- 

 sale; Brides and Maids about the same 

 price; American Beauties from .$1 to $2 

 per dozen and fancy stock very scarce. 

 Smilax is offered at any price and the 

 summer crop of maidenhair is getting 

 well sold out. Cosmos is now in its 

 prime, and is used in large quantity for 

 decorating. Violets are scarce and of 

 poor quality; they bring from 75 nuts 

 to $1 per dozen bunches. Japanese lilies 

 are almost out of business, and in a week 

 or two will have entirely disappeared. 



Notes. 



H. Ratfisch. of Berkeley, has been very 

 busy for the last two weeks, replanting 

 his carnation houses. He had splendid 



- ss last season and will force for the 



coming year principally Estelle, Cress- 

 brook and Queen Louise. 



A visit to the nurseries of Ferrari 

 Brothers shows everything in readiness 

 for another season's hard work. This 

 firm has an enviable record for forcing 

 high-class roses and their reports are 

 that they have been unable to fill half 

 the orders offered them. 



F. Ludemann. of the Pacific Nurseries, 

 reports splendid business in Japanese lily 

 bulbs and palm seeds. Although it is 

 somewhat early regarding nursoM 

 Mr. Ludemann has splendid prospects for 

 a good season's business. 



Sievers & Boland report business far 



if last year at this time. They
