on the evening of May 16. A pro- 

 fusion of French hydrangeas, Dorothy 

 Perkins roses and sweet peas in the 

 pastel shades were used. 



Charles F. Shellgrain, manager of the 

 J. B. Boland store on Kearny street, 

 says business continues better than it 

 was at this time last year, notwith- 

 standing that there are no exposition 

 visitors. 



The Misses Hannon, who are located 

 temporarily on Sutter street, say they 

 may operate two stores when their new 

 quarters on Polk street are ready, if 

 business at the downtown store war- 

 rants its continuance. S. H. G.

The Market. 



A record-breaking business was done 

 by the florists Mothers' day. The pub- 

 lic gave more consideration to the use 

 of appropriate colors, and by careful 

 handling the supply of white carnations 

 met the demand fairly. It was the 

 most tiresome day of the year, as the 

 sales were largely restricted to half- 

 dozens or less, and a good deal of talk 

 was required to make the sales. The 

 proceeds were small compared with the 

 efforts expended. 



Business last week was fairly good. 

 Counter trade was brisk and funeral 

 work normal. The cut of roses was quite 

 heavy and the quality good. MossisB 

 cattleyas are in oversupply. The sup- 

 ply of outdoor-grown valley is nearly 

 exhausted. Carnations come in freely. 

 Few kinds of blooming plants are 

 shown, the hydrangeas leading. Some 

 inferior cinerarias and obconicas are 

 seen. Snapdragons and sweet peas, with 

 a number of outdoor perennials, add to 

 the supply of cut stock.

The Magnificent Lavender Freesia 



n 



i]HE only commercial colored Freesia in the world. A truly wonderful 

 novelty that took many years to produce. The above cut will give 

 some idea of its beauty. It represents a bunch of only twelve sprays 

 photographed side by side with my new GIANT WHITE. One glance will 

 satisfy anyone of its wonderful commercial merit, and no words ar6 necessary 

 to describe it except to say that the bunches figured measure nearly three feet 

 tall, not including the vase. It is much larger and stronger in every way than 

 Purity, one of its parents ; has the same fine habit of growth and is very fra- 

 grant. 



I offer it in two shades of color, a bluish lavender and 

 a reddish lavender. Only good-sized, flowering bulbs sold
