inspectors also came in for discussion 

 and the question of assessment of nur- 

 sery stock was taken up.

The Market. 



The flower market is in rather poor 

 shape. Since the Mardi Gras celebra- 

 tion social activity has subsided no- 

 ticeably. Funeral work is less active 

 and the fortnight of rather warm 

 weather brought out enormous quan- 

 tities of flowers of all seasonable vari- 

 eties. There was a little extra demand 

 for St. Patrick's day, but that failed 

 to cause much improvement in prices, 

 being limited largely to greens and 

 white carnations for dyeing, the dyed 

 stock being sold in liberal quantities. 

 A good deal of green-dyed poeticus 

 also was disposed of. Of course, sham- 

 rocks in small pots were strong sellers. 

 A large cut of maidenhair ferns was 

 moved and small dish ferns were popu- 

 lar, Boston ferns also being stimulated 

 a little. Asparagus is still somewhat 

 scarce. A notable new offering for 

 the week was peonies, some good ones 

 having appeared. There is quite an 

 abundance of cut lilac, as well as some 

 potted shrubs in bloom. 



A large cut of good sweet peas is ap- 

 pearing, but has hard competition with 

 bulbous stock. Some fine anemones 

 and ranunculi are seen in the stores 

 and there is a large cut of poeticus and 

 the like. Freesias also are in fair sup- 

 ply. Emperor and Empress daffodils 

 are about gone, but some later varieties 

 are still to come, and there are more 

 than plenty. Darwin tulips are show- 

 ing up well, and are fairly popular. 

 Violets are keeping up, and there are 

 a few good lots of Marie Louise. "Wild 

 flowers of many kinds are a strong fea- 

 ture, such as poppies, buttercups, mis- 

 sion bells, wild iris, pansies, etc. Some 

 statice is appearing. 



The cut of roses is increasing rapidly 

 and prices are easing off, ordinary stock 

 being slow to move. Baby roses are 

 about the strongest item. The supply 

 of Easter lilies is rather excessive, 

 though there has been a fair demand. 

 Orchids of all kinds are coming in less 

 freely, but more are expectfed soon, and 

 there are plenty of gardenias. There 

 is a little fine valley, which is much 

 sought after. Rhododendrons, rambler 

 roses and primulas are the principal 

 features in potted stock. 



Various Notes. 



Bert Devincenzi, of the Eddy Floral 

 Co., of Reno, Nev., is spending a few 

 weeks visiting his old friends in San 

 Francisco and arranging for shipments 

 of stock and supplies. He has built up 

 a nice business at Reno and is having 

 a good season. He has built some green- 

 houses and now grows a good deal of 

 his own stock, having had extensive 

 growing experience in this vicinity. 



Motrbni's flower shop, on Fillmore 

 street, is making a feature of wild 

 flowers. Mr. Motroni says business with 

 him has kept up well so far. 



Emile Serveau, of Fillmore street, 

 near Sacramento, went back to work 

 last week after being ill for about six 

 weeks with the grip and rheumatism. 

 He savs things have slowed down quite 

 perceptibly during the last few days. 

 He says callas will not be as plentiful 

 as usual for Easter on account of the 

 January frost, but that will help other
