cially Beauties. Ophelia and Bussell 

 are in strong demand and Prima Donna 

 finds much favor. There are hardly any 

 Cecile Brunner roses at present. Vio- 

 lets are coming more heavily, but really 

 fine stock is scarce. Cyclamen con- 

 tinues good and is considerably used, 

 both cut and in pots. . Cut primulas and 

 heather help out in the absence of other 

 stock. Gardenias are almost entirely 

 off crop and Easter lilies are scarce, the 

 demand being rather strong. Compared 

 with ordinary conditions, orchids are 

 the most plentiful in the market, in- 

 cluding a good many fine varieties. 

 Many good azaleas are coming in, but 

 there are few rhododendrons. Good 

 camellias find a ready sale. Asparagus 

 is scarce. Considerable acacia is used, 

 the blooms being forced. A novel and 

 attractive article is the native man- 

 zanita brush, which is blooming un- 

 usually well, the glossy red bark and 

 small white and pinkish bells making a 

 fine appearance. 



Various Notes. 



F. Pelicano, of Pelicano, Eossi & Co., 

 is bringing in good schizanthus for the 

 store. He is cutting many primulas 

 from his own plants, and his lavender 

 violet, Quaker Lady, is beginning to 

 bloom sufficiently to make a window 

 showing. It is a pleasing novelty, but 

 the cut still is rather light. 



Daniel Eaymond, of the Garden City 

 Pottery Co., returned a few days "ago 

 from his trip to the eastern pottery 

 manufacturers, and is making his usual 

 rounds of the trade. 



N. Peterson, of the Peninsula Nur- 

 sery, says he has been staying up nights 

 looking after the heat in his carnation 

 houses, but that the way carnations 

 sell now he considers them worth los- 

 ing a little sleep over. However, he is 

 considering putting in an oil-burning 

 system, as not only easier to handle but 

 cheaper than coal. 



As a result of a meeting of the stock- 

 holders and directors of the Luther Bur- 

 bank Co., it has been decided to throw 

 the concern into liquidation rather than 

 attempt to refinance it. The local store 

 was closed after the holidays. 



The Motroni flower store on Fillmore 

 street has been showing some ranun- 

 culus the last few days, which Mr. Mo- 

 troni believes are the first to appear 

 here this season. He had a few vases 

 of the pretty pink and white chrysan- 

 themum. Queen Florida, which were 

 quite an attraction. 



Neal T. Childs, who last year started 

 a flower store in Oakland as headquar- 

 ters for his landscape engineering work, 

 has closed the store and opened an office 

 in San Francisco, intending to give his 

 entire attention to landscape and deco- 

 rative work. 



J. A. Carbone is bringing in quite 

 a lot of sprays of the hybrid odonto- 

 plossum that scored ninety-nine points 

 .it the last Horticultural Society meet- 

 ing. He has a house of Phalesnopsis 

 Schilleriana about ready, and the stock 

 is to be used in Valentine displays. 



Everybody wants to be Pete Ferrari 's 

 friend, for he is bringing in about the 

 only valley to be had in this market. 

 He has only a light cut, which is being 

 distributed as fairly as possible among 

 his regular trade, and has enough in 

 cold storage to last a month or two 

 longer. He is doing fairly well with his 

 roses, especially Ophelia, and has quite 

 a lot of forced tulips and hyacinths. He 

 reports a good market for azaleas, of 

 which he still has a large stock. He
