Various Notes. 



The obituary of Adolph Schwerin, of 

 Visitacion, Cal., is printed on the obitu- 

 ary page of The Review of this week. 



Victor Podesta, of Podesta & Bal- 

 docchi, reports business seasonably 

 good, and is looking forward to a splen- 

 did Easter demand for cut flowers and 

 plants. 



Mrs. Bartlett, of the staff of Fred C. 

 Jaeger & Son, left a few days ago to 

 visit her mother in Los Angeles, Cal., 

 where Mrs. Bartlett formerly made her 

 home. Mr. Jaeger has no complaints to 

 make about business, as sales have held

up well since Lent started. Consider- 

 able interest was noted here in St. Pat- 

 rick's day novelties.' 



Domoto Bros, are bringing in a fine 

 crop of tulips, for which they report a 

 ready sale. 



S. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., Inc., 

 is gratified over the condition of the 

 market here, the supply of flowers be- 

 ing about equal to the demand. Judg- 

 ing by early inquiries, he looks for a 

 heavy Easter shipping business. 



Peter Ferrari is enthusiastic over 

 Rose Columbia and is planning to plant 

 more heavily. He has a fine cut at 

 present, the buds being large and the 

 foliage all that could be desired. At 

 his place, orchids arc a little off crop 

 this month, but he expects to have plen- 

 ty about April 1. He notes a particular- 

 ly strong demand for phala>nopsis since 

 there is no valley to be had here.

 manager of the E. W. McLellan Co.,
