and now there is a break before the later 

 varieties come out in full force. Good 

 stock cleans up at 50 cents per hundred, 

 ^''reesias are still plentiful and the same 

 may be said of narcissi, whereas ranun- 

 culi and anemones are not offered freely 

 as yet. Tulips are only in light supply, 

 but receipts are expected to increase 

 rapidly within the next two weeks. The 

 'lomand is active for all this class of 

 stock. Spring blossoms figure promi- 

 nently in the daily offerings also and 

 liave a big call for decorative purposes. 

 The supply of roses is equal to the de- 

 mand, which keeps prices firm at a 

 ^'igher level than usually prevails here at 

 this time of the year. Carnations are 

 The most plentiful item, but the growers 

 liave formed a pool, whereby prices are 

 kept up to 75 cents a bunch and the sur- 

 I'lus destroyed. Violets are excellent 

 Jind the shipping demand has improved 

 :u;cordingly. Practically no Easter lilies 

 ^Te available and few eallas. Xo lilv

of the vallfey has reached this market in 

 several months and the supply of gar- 

 denias is only moderate. There are 

 plenty of orchids and they have a good 

 call. 



Asparagus plumosus is on the short 

 side, the explanation being that most of 

 the local supply is grown without artifi- 

 cial heat and the young stuff was frozen 

 during the recent prolonged cold spell. 

 There is plenty of adiantum, however. 



Except in the case of Easter lilies, the 

 outlook for Easter stock is favorable 

 and all branches of the business are 

 preparing for a banner season. 



Various Notes. 



A large gathering of florists is ex- 

 pected at the end of the week in re- 

 sponse to the following letter signed by 

 P. V. Matraia, of the Art Floral Co.; 

 Albert O. Stein; Frank Pelicano, of 

 Pelicano, Rossi & Co., and Victor Po- 

 desta, of Podesta & Baldocchi: "Flo- 

 rists of the Bay cities did their part in 

 the war. * Our boys ' were willing; many 

 responded to their country's call. Now 

 they are coming back and we owe them 

 the welcome of true patriots. The un- 

 dersigned have arranged for a banquet
