The Market. 



During the last week carnations have 

 become more plentiful; indeed, on some 

 days there have been more carnations 

 than could be handled, as well as vio- 

 lets, wliile on other days they have 

 cleaned up well. Other stock, with the 

 exception of a few small flowers, is 

 still on the short side and apparently 

 will be for some time, if business keeps 

 up at its present clip. Indoor roses are 

 a little cheaper, but the demand keeps 

 up well, and for large decorations or 

 special jobs there is usually some diffi- 

 culty in obtaining enough stock. Daf- 

 fodils, freesias and other bulbous flow- 

 ers still come slowly, owing to the cold 

 nights, and some days there are not 

 nearly enough to go around. 



Orchids are on the scarce list; so are 

 Cecile Brunner roses, dladioli con- 

 tinue to come in small quantities, but 

 there are enough for the demand. 

 Callas are becoming more jdentiful as 

 the season advances and, though there 

 is a small local demand, ([uite a uiimber 

 are shipped out of town, especially to 

 the desert sections. (Jood cornflowers 

 arc scarce, but other small stock of tliis 

 nature is more plentiful. 



There is a great difference in the 

 quality of the Easter lilies now coming 

 into the market. Some of them open 

 freely and make a fine display; others 

 persist in going "sleepy," probably on 

 account of lack of vigor in the stems. 

 Pussy willows, fruit and shrub branches, 

 acacias and similar stock continue to be 

 used in window displays and as fillers 

 for large decorations for weddings. 

 There is a little valley coming in, but 

 not nearly enough for the demand, 

 thougli the demand is smaller than for- 

 merly on account of the absence of val- 

 ley from the market for so long. As- 

 paragus ])liunosus is still scarce and 

 much of it is ]ioor and sliort. Other 

 greens are aljout efpisil to the demand. 

 In ])ot ])lants a few hyacinths are 

 about the best offering outside of aza- 

 leas. Of the latter A. mollis is more 

 jih'ntit'iil than A. Indica. 



The death of several ])rominent citi- 

 zens last week made funeral work plen- 

 tiful and this was followed by heavy 

 demand for mediiim-j)riced flowers.

Various Notes. 



Fred Dostal, for many years asso- 

 ciated with J. W. Wolters, first at the 

 store oil Fourth street and since tlicn 

 on Hill street, has resijjned his jjosition 

 and for the jirescnt is heliiing out with 

 the rush at F. Lichtenberjf 's store. 



A. M. Pooley and the I'omona Floral 

 Co. report business yood at that tiourish- 

 injj little town, Pomona. 



Mrs. A. L. Ilurtt, of San Bernardino, 

 is showing magnificent Spencer sweet 

 ])eas, which were fjrown at t!it> nursery. 

 Mrs. Hurtt annually ])uys the best nov- 

 elties, but saves her own seed for the 

 bulk of the crop.

 fijood fijrade of valley. Plant shipments

Anioufj the stock being shif)ped from 

 the L. A. Floral Co. store are some ex- 

 tra good rose-pink carnations and out- 

 door sweet ])eas. Manager Fred Sperry 

 says that the shipping business is keep- 

 ing up well. 



The Broadway Florist is rapidly com- 

 ing to the front, the excellent location 

 no doubt liaving a good deal to do with 

 this, as well as the attractive store.

Funeral work has been good there of 

 late. 



The St. \'alentine"s day windows at 

 Darling's Flower Shop were remark- 

 ably good, a good idea being worked out 

 to attract the crowds. Business was 

 good. 



Every wholesaler and retailer in the 

 city whom I spoke to said that the Val- 

 entine 's day business this year was 

 much the best ever experienced. 



The Santa Cruz Evergreen Co. re- 

 ports an excellent business this season 

 in what is termed "blossoms;" that is, 

 cut branches of Acacia Baileyana and 

 various other shrubs and trees. Bernard 

 Tassano on his recent trip north secured 

 a fine lot of double red peach, which is 

 one of the best of these trees.

 Flower Shop, is satisfied with the Val-
