of other ofiferings of a competitive na- 

 ture, such as tulips, hyacinths, narcissi, 

 etc. One day daffodils dropped to $1 per 

 hundred, but they went back to $1.50 

 again the next day, when the cold short- 

 ened all lines. Violets are scarce and 

 rather poor in quality. 



Few roses are being retailed under 

 $1.50 per dozen and the offerings at this 

 figure are limited. Hadley, Ophelia, 

 White Killarney and Eed Eadiance all 

 show excellent quality and clean up at 

 comparatively high prices. Carnations 

 continue to occupy about the same posi- 

 tion. Good stock retails at 35 cents per 

 dozen and extra fine flowers bring 50 

 cents, the latter including Sensation and 

 Edna Brown. Harrisii lilies are being 

 featured quite extensively and a good 

 demand is reported. Indoor sweet peas 

 clean up readily at unusually high 

 prices. Orchids are shown in a wide 

 assortment and all varieties manage to 

 find an outlet. Some valley is offered, 

 but it is still on the short side of the 

 market. In blooming plants, fine cycla- 

 mens and cinerarias are offered, and 

 many rhododendrons are beginning to 

 arrive. Potted tulips and hyacinths 

 have the preference, however. Quanti- 

 ties of pussy willows and acacias are 

 used and cut heather maintains its pop- 

 ularity. 



Various Notes. 



Several of the large downtown florists 

 made a stronger drive for St. Valen- 

 tine's day business this year than ever

 heart-shaped red stamp designed by the 

 Chicago Florists' Club on every parcel 

 being sent out. 



Avansino Bros, have been busy with 

 table decorations, most of the orders 

 calling for spring flowers. They think 

 general business would be better if 

 spring flowers were more plentiful ahd 

 cheap, as these offerings are shown 

 preference over roses and carnations. 



Patrick Orr, of the Albert O. Stein 

 force, has been called out of town by 

 the serious illness of his mother. 



Pelicano, Eossi & Co. report an in- 

 creasing demand for spray orchids, espe- 

 cially cypripediums and phalsenopsis. 

 These varieties have not replaced cat- 

 tleyas by any means, but more of them 

 are being sold than in former years. 



C. Kooyman has contracted for the 

 cut of a large tract of daffodils, about 

 700,000 plants, and expects to ship many

Several important matters are to b©

 and a large attendance is expected. 



David Lichtenstein, the Terminal Flo- 

 rist, at 7 East street, has been featuring 

 an orchid special, which he says has a 

 tendency to stimulate business gener- 

 ally, as people coming in to buy orchids 

 are likely to leave orders for other flow- 

 ers or plants. Being in the Ferry build- 

 ing, this establishment gets consider- 

 able funeral work from Marin county 

 commuters.
