 order and hustle seem to be the pass- 

 words. H. R. Richards. 



SAN FBANCISCO, GAL. 



The Market. 



The close of Easter week saw a good 

 clean-up on the San Francisco Easter 

 trade. Large quantities of lilies, spring 

 flowers, roses, carnations and potted 

 plants were sold during the week. The 

 nurseries, also, made a better clearing 

 this year than usual, due to the great 

 demand of the trade. A considerable 

 drop took place on the price of roses 

 last week. This drop was caused by the 

 abundance of spring flowers and outside 

 flowers that have been arriving on the 

 market. Tulips have been more plenti- 

 ful, as the full crop is now on. Lilacs, 

 iris and American Beauty roses made 

 'their appearance in large quantities last 

 week. 



The violet supply, which has been un- 

 usually good this year, is still keeping 

 up well. A few more days, however, 

 will see the close of the season for them. 

 Gardenias are scarce at present, but the 

 dealers hope to have a full line on hand 

 in a week or so. The outside sweet peas, 

 which have been greatly handicapped 

 by the lack of rains and the cold winds 

 along the coast, are now arriving. The 

 dealers say, however, that they will not 

 be as plentiful as they were last year. 



The demand for dahlia bulbs is large, 

 shipments to South America and to the 

 northern and eastern sections of the 

 country being heavy. LUies of the 

 valley are scarce and hold up in 

 price. The carnation season is closing 

 and the flowers demand a good price. 

 Orchids were higher and scarcer last 

 week than they had been for some time. 

 However, the growers are promising 

 more of these blooms in a short time. 



Various Notes. 



At a special mooting of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Rnrioty a resolution 

 was carried in favor of holding a rose 

 tournament in San Francisco this 

 spring. The rose show, as it is called, 

 is to take place the first week in May. 

 In tlio parade, all the different varieties 

 of ro.sos grown in the San Francisco dis- 

 trict will be exhibited. Beautiful floral 

 floats will he the leading feature of
