Mention The Review when yon wri'ter 



cool days held back certain varieties 

 and a more active demand caused the 

 supplies to clean up fairly well. Many 

 "white flowers were held in reserve for 

 Mothers' day, although an effort was 

 made by the local florists to get awa^* 

 from any particular flower or color as 

 emblematic of that day. Ample stock 

 is in sight for Decoration day and the 

 local trade is looking forward to a rec- 

 ord business. 



Little change has taken place in the 

 offerings. Boses are a drug on the mar- 

 ket, but the cut shows signs of a slack- 

 ening during the next week or two. As 

 it is, really fine roses of some of the 

 newer varieties are rather scarce. 

 American Beauties are holding their 

 own with remarkable persistency. Eus- 

 sell, Hadley, Ophelia and Hoosier Beau- 

 ty are all popular. Many Ulrich Brun- 

 ner roses are being used, but the Killar- 

 neys are not so popular as formerly. 

 The supply of carnations is holding up 

 well and prices remain fairly steady. 

 White carnations were a little scarce 

 for several days and everything cleaned 

 up well. A few dahlias are coming in, 

 but the limited supply and rather poor 

 quality keep them from being a fea- 

 ture in the market. 



The America gladiolus is being re- 

 ceived and the supply is readily ab- 

 sorbed, while many small gladioli are 

 being shipped. Sweet peas are plenti- 

 ful and the demand is large enough to 

 leave no ground for complaint. Many 

 good peonies still appear, but the crop 

 is about over, after being in great fa- 

 vor for some time. There is plenty of 

 miscellaneous stock, such as gypsophilas, 

 cornflowers, mignonette, marigolds, 

 stocks, statice, sweet williams, etc. 

 Many fine lilies still are to be had. Span- 

 ish iris is going off crop. A nice cut 

 of gardenias is coming in, but the de- 

 mand is rather light. Potted stock 

 moves fairly well and the offerings are 

 not excessive by any means. They in- 

 clude a few rhododendrons, some fine 

 French hydrangeas, a few rambler roses, 

 primulas, etc. 



Horticultural Society Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society on the eve- 

 ning of May 6 showed a larger attend- 

 ance than the preceding meeting, and 

 several matters which had been under 

 consideration for some time were dis-

 laws providing for the membership of 

 persons interested in ornamental horti- 

 culture, but not connected with the 

 business, and the establishment of a 

 sinking or reserve fund, came up for 

 final vote, and were carried after con- 

 siderable discussion. A letter of thanks 

 was read from Burns, the florist of San 

 Eafael, in behalf of the Marin Floral 

 Pageant for the prize offered by the 

 society for the best group of flowering 

 plants arranged for effect in the Marin

An application for membership was 

 submitted by Robert MacFarland, of 

 San Bafael. The finance committee re- 

 ported that some accounts are still out- 

 standing for advertising in the conven-

 day committee, D. Raymond announced 

 that a field day would be held in San 

 Rafael May 21, in conjunction with the
