The Market. 



Stock in general is more plentiful than 

 it was a week ago. There is more out- 

 door bulbous stock and Formosa lilies 

 are better. The China lily crop shows 

 good quality and the demand cleans up 

 the offerings readily. Paper Whites are 

 plentiful and tlie heavy cut of freesias 

 continues to hold a strong position. The 

 supply of daffodils is increasing, but 

 more could be used to advantage. Many 

 forced tulips and hyacinths have ap- 

 ])eared, but on account of their great 

 ])oi)ularity there have not been enough 

 to go around. The carnation receipts 

 have been greatly increased by days of 

 warm weather and prices have dropped 

 somewhat. Last week No. 1 carnations 

 were selling at 75 cents to $1, and now 

 they are quoted at 50 cents. Some of 

 the growers who have extra fancy stock 

 have not reduecfl their prices, however. 



Limited quantities of good sweet peas 

 are appearing and the supplies are 

 snapped up at rather high prices. A few 

 late chrysanthemums continue to arrive, 

 but they are not good and receive little 

 attention in the market. 



Although the rose crop is going off 

 with the smaller growers, there is no 

 real shortage as yet, as the larger grow- 

 ers have enough to supply requirements 

 fairly well. There is a fine cut of Amer- 

 ican Beauties, and Russell shows excel- 

 lent quality. Violets now are fine and 

 the shipping demand has improved. The 

 market is well supplied with gardenias, 

 and orchids are in better supply tlian 

 for some time, many fine species being 

 offered besides cattleyas. Many cut 

 cyclamens are still being used. A few 

 fruit blossoms have appeared, the offer- 

 ings being unusually early this year. In 

 ])otted stock small poinsettias are still 

 shown at most of the downtown stores 

 and many pink azaleas are being fea- 

 tured. 



Horticultural Society Meeting. 



There was a fair attendance at the 

 monthly meeting of the Pacific Coast 

 Horticultural Society lield January 6. 

 In the absence of President E. Jarnes 

 and Vice-president T. Fenton, H. Plath 

 presided. An application for member- 

 ship was submitted by Fred Mueller, of 

 Piedmont. For the S. A. F. convention 

 program committee, Mr. Plath reported 

 that there is still about $20U outstanding 

 for advertising, and it was decided' to 

 turn the accounts over to a collector. 

 On behalf of the picnic committee. D. 

 Raymond suggested that preliminary 

 plans for the annual picnic be taken 

 under consideration at the next meeting. 

 With regard to the exposition prizes, it 

 was announced that J. A. Carbone re- 

 ceived his at Christmas and that Mac- 

 Rorie & McLaren have received theirs. 

 Mr. Plath made a final report on the 

 returns of the dahlia show. The lecture 

 committee provided for at the December 

 meeting had not been appointed as yet. 

 The treasurer's report showed a substan- 

 tial balance in the bank on the first of 

 the year. 



The feature of the evening was the 

 election of officers for the ensuing year. 

 At the last meeting the same officers

This new class of miniature roses is eaining won- 

 derfully in popularity, and most deservedly 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 pi ices on all commerial varieties of
