S. Murata & Co. are busy shipping 

 plants and seeds, in addition to cut flow- 

 ers. Large quantities of bulbous stock, 

 azaleas and rhododendrons are moving 

 freely, the shipment going to the desert 

 sections principally. Valley has been 

 short in supply, but now is coming in 

 more freely. 



W. Armacost & Co. are sending in ex- 

 cellent bulbous stock in pots, especially 

 hyacinths. 



Albert Goldenson was married Feb- 

 ruary 24 to Miss Minnie Jacobs. The 

 couple are now at home to their friends 

 at 1140 South Berendo street. 



John Moody Connon, lately of the 

 Connon Floral Co., St. Louis, who for 

 some time has been in the city with his 

 wife and children, March 1 left here for 

 San Francisco, en route to his Idaho 

 ranch. Mr. Connon expects to stay 

 about a month in the northern city.

The accompanying reproduction of a 

 photograph, taken recently in one of the 

 orchid houses of Ferrari Bros., San 

 Francisco, will be especially interest- 

 ing to eastern growers. Here are shown 

 20,000 blooms of spray varieties. The 

 firm of Ferrari Bros, has only been 

 growing orchids on a commercial basis 

 for a short time, but already has at- 

 tained considerable prominence among 

 the Pacific coast growers. This firm's 

 houses are one of the principal sources 

 of the supply of orchids for the San 

 Francisco market, where the small-flow- 

 ered spray varieties are much more 

 largely used than is the case in the east.

This new class of miniature roses is ninins won- 

 derfully in popularity, and most deservemy so. Their 

 exceeding; freedom and continuity of bloom is unsur- 

 passed in any other bedding or border plant. Their 

 possibilities are worth your attention and consideration.

The most rapturously and strikingly beautiful little 

 rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and 

 startling in its brilliancy— golden yellow, tipped with 

 clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele- 

 gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the 

 very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is 

 remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea- 

 son. We have given it a fair and thorough trial and 

 have no hesitancy in offering it as the one best selling 

 rose you ever handled. It is a money-maker. 



Also special prices on all commerial varieties of 

 Hybrid Teas.

Stock is more plentiful following the 

 rain and, with social functions compara- 

 tively few in number on account of 

 Lent, there is little likelihood of a short- 

 age of flowers in the near future. Eoses 

 are beginning to come in abundantly, 

 after having been on the short side of 

 the market for several weeks. The qual- 

 ity has not deteriorated in favor of 

 quantity; the blooms are splendid for
