SAN FEANOISOO. 



The Market. 



Business in general continues rather 

 quiet, though last week brought several 

 good funeral orders and some shops had 

 many dinner dec6rations. Flowers con- 

 tinue plentiful, though there is not such 

 a flood of cheap stock as for some 

 weeks previous. Daffodils are rather 

 scarce and, while some late stock is 

 still to come, they soon will be entirely 

 off crop. FrMllaB also are going off, 

 but late narcissi hold out well. Ranun- 

 culi and anemones are excellent and 

 plentiful. Some fine ixias are appear- 

 ing, with a large crop in sight. Sweet 

 peas are a prominent feature this sea- 

 son, and some of the stock is fine. 

 Carnations are good and plentiful, and 

 nearly all rose growers are bringing in 

 a large cut, and the demand is better 

 than it has been. Good stock of all va- 

 rieties moves well. Violets are on the 

 wane, but they still are sufficient for 

 local needs. This is a big lilac season, 

 and the shipping demand helps to keep 

 up the prices. Fruit blossoms are about 

 gone, while many tamarack and heather 

 blooms are seen. Tulips are plentiful 

 and cheap, and only an occasional lot 

 shows much merit. Many cut hyacinths 

 are used. Few Spanish irises are seen 

 as yet, but other varieties show up 

 well. Large quantities of Easter lilies 

 are moved, but there are too many of 

 them to clean up readily. Many kinds 

 of wild flowers are used in considerable 

 quantities. Cattleyas are a trifle scarce, 

 but are not in great demand. There is 

 a large cut of phatenopsis and a fair 

 supply of gardenias cleans up quickly. 

 Valley is scarce. Peonies are fine and 

 bring fair prices, though the crop is 

 large. In potted stock there is consid- 

 erable variety. The larger items in- 

 clude rhododendrons, lilacs, rambler 

 roses and wistarias, as well as heather 

 of all sizes. Small begonias are begin- 

 ning to come in freely, and primulas of 

 various types are keeping up to the 

 average. Cut adiantum is in good de- 

 mand, while Asparagus plumosus is 

 coming in better. Plants for bedding 

 are in strong demand at retail, and 

 many florists are making this an im- 

 portant feature, handling a large va- 

 riety of stock. 



Various Notes. 



Daniel MacRorie, president of the 

 S. A. F., went east early in March, 

 and A. J. Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & 

 Co., left last week. Both will attend 

 the flower show at Philadelphia on be- 

 half of the Pacific Coast Horticultural 

 Society. 



Stephen B. Cooper, familiarly known 

 as "Hiney, " who for many years has 

 been with Mark Ebel at Sacramento, 

 has decided that he prefers the bay 

 climate, and expects to locate in San 

 Francisco. 



Mark Ebel, who was in town last 

 week, is boosting the celebration to be 

 held at Sacramento May 11 to 13 for 

 the opening of the Yolo Causeway, 

 which will be a big thing for the flo- 

 rists. Arrangements have already been 

 made with some of the Sacramento flo- 

 rists for the decoration of floats and 

 vehicles for business houses, and it is
