ORCHIDS OF FERRARI BROS 



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 

 20,0UO 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 tlie suj)j)ly of orchids for the San 

 Francisco market, -where the small-flow- 

 ered spray varieties are much Tuore 

 largely used than is the case in the east. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Stock is more plentiful following the 

 rain and, with social functions compara- 

 tively few in number on account of 

 Lent, th.ere is little likelihood of a short- 

 age of flowers in the near future. Roses 

 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

1 liis new class of minittiire roses is gaining won- 

 cierfiiUy in poi>iilarity, and most deservedly so. Their 

 exceeding freednni and continuity of bloom is unsur- 

 passed in any utiier l)L-dding 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 tlowers are ele- 

 gantly linished and o( most perfect form. Habit of the 

 very best, strong and comiiact; 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 otferinur it as the one best selling 

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

There is little cliango in the carnation
