cially the Silver Pink, which every- 

 body seems to want. Peonies are 

 scarcer after the abundant offerings 

 that have been featured. There still 

 are more roses than needed, but the 

 quality is better and the demand is 

 larger. The cut of Easter lilies was not 

 BO plentiful last week, as the best 

 plants were being held in reserve. Some 

 yellow callas are appearing and a lib- 

 eral offering is in sight for this week. 

 There is much bedding stock and the 

 demand is larger than the normal. 

 Pansy plants in bloom are popular f or 

 basket work. Some wild lupines are 

 offered and sell fairly well. There is 

 plenty of asparagus and adiantum. 



Various Notes. 



The local trade is much gratified over 

 the arrest and conviction of Arthur 

 \Vright, who during the last few weeks 

 succeeded in passing worthless checks 

 on a number of florists in San Fran- 

 cisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, 

 Sausalito, Vallejo and Stockton. He 

 was arrested in Richmond a few days 

 ago, while attempting to work his game 

 on Adolph Winters, a florist of that 

 city. 1^. Winters operates a talking 

 machine business in conjunction with 

 his flower store and had cashed a bad 

 check in that department only a day 

 or two before, so he was on the alert 

 when the would-be purchaser offered 

 Mm a check for $20.50. He had con- 

 siderable difliculty in keeping the man 

 in the store while he went back and 

 telephoned to the police, but he suc- 

 ceeded. It was learned that the check 

 artist was wanted in Stockton, so he 

 Was taken to that city, and, pleading

guilty to a charge of forgery, was sen- 

 tenced to serve eighteen months in San 

 Quentin. His plan was to visit a flo- 

 rist, with a copious display of tears, 

 and order a floral piece sent to some 

 family, whose name he had seen in the 

 death notices of the newspapers. In- 

 cidentally he would discover that he 

 was short of change and would ask the 

 florist to cash a rather large check. 

 Mr. Winters expects to receive a $25 

 reward offered by a bankers' associa- 

 tion for Wright's apprehension. 



The MacRorie-McLaren Co. has been 

 offering a few yellow calla lilies at its 

 retail establishment on Powell street 

 and expects to have a fine lot of potted 

 plants for Easter. The improvements in 

 the store have been completed and ar- 

 rangements were made last week for 

 a formal opening. 



The San Francisco exhibition of the

 looking after the preparations for the 

 event. A long list ot cash prizes and 

 medals is offered.
