Mrs. H. G. Ilelmer, busy as ever and 

 as cheerful as ever, was up to her eyes 

 in work, and altogether it looks as if 

 Santa Barbara was keeping up her rep- 

 utation well. H. R. Richards.

The Market. 



Fashion show week led to a big de- 

 mand for all classes of greens and the 

 cheaper, more showy flowers. Several 

 of the larger stores used asparagus and 

 orange marigolds to good effect, while 

 daffodils and cornflowers were used by 

 others. Renters of palms and other 

 decorative stock were busy and, taken 

 altogether, this business added quite a 

 little to the total for the week. Out- 

 side of this, funeral work has been plen- 

 tiful and the better weather has led to 

 more transient business. In spite of 

 better weather conditions, good stock 

 still remains scarce, though daffodils are 

 better and more plentiful. Violets are 

 at 'their best now and arriving in im- 

 mense numbers. Orchids are practically 

 out of the market for some reason; it 

 is difiicult to account for the great 

 ficarcity. 



Cecile Brunner roses are extremely 

 scarce. Roses are shorter than those of 

 a week ago. Field-grown carnations are 

 scarce, but the indoor-grown varieties 

 are a little more plentiful. Small spring 

 flowers come slowly this year. Some 

 fine poppy anemones were among this 

 week's offerings. Fruit blossoms con- 

 tinue to arrive, but soon will be over. 

 Plants are not selling quite so well, ex- 

 cept good ferns, which are in big de- 

 mand. All classes of greens are short- 

 ening in supply. 



Various Notes. 



On a visit to Hills' Nursery recently, 

 I found the new house full to overflow- 

 ing, yet Mr. Hills says he is still short 

 of stock to fill orders. Mr. Hills makes

it a point never to ship stock until it 

 is ready and up to standard in the va- 

 rious sizes, and this accounts for his 

 being sold out closely when other grow- 

 ers have stock on hand. His new fern 

 is magnificent, rapidly making the large 

 specimens for which this nursery is fa- 

 mous. I noted some extra fine 10-inch 

 stock just ready and a fine lot of forced 

 stock of almonds in bloom. As usual 

 at this time of year, the beds of sham- 

 rocks for St. Patrick's day look like 

 green lawns. 



The Santa Cruz Evergreen Co. is evi-

 far east as Minnesota. Large quantities 

 of Mexican ivy of fine quality are now 

 being shipped.
