Easter. Outdoor sweet peaa are due in 

 about two weeks. There is a good sup- 

 ply of orchids, Cattleya Trianse being 

 plentiful again after a period of scar- 

 city, which made it difficult for the 

 trade to supply the demand on various 

 occasions. Fine gardenias are to be had 

 at $3 per dozen. When lilies are men- 

 tioned here, callas come to mind, as they 

 arc the only offerings. They sell for $3 

 per hundred. 



Various Notes. 



Albert O. Stein reports a busy week 

 on decorations and funeral work. One 

 of the best orders was for the wedding 

 of Miss Margaret Wolff and McKinley 

 Bissinger, in the Empire room of the 

 Fairmont hotel. Pink blossoms were 

 uscil effectively, in conjunction with 

 ^i'lilow boxes of spring flowers. The 

 oride's bouquet was of phalsenopsis. At 

 a pretty home affair for Mrs. Tyson, of 

 Alrinieda, French mirrors were used on 

 ^lio table, with five white marble bowls 

 of flowers, the center one containing 

 spring flowers and the other four double 

 gold tulips. Garlands of heather and 

 spring flowers outlined the mirrors. A 

 'iP'V idea in funeral work at the Stein 

 establishment is a pall made of spring 

 flowers and blossoms, with lots of color. 

 yi"' for the 11-year-old son of John 

 |- ^Valter was made this week, it being 

 *ho fifth or sixth pall of this nature 

 ''j'lle in the last month. Spring house- 

 <^'< Mning is in progress at the Stein store,

Thomas Wright, of Los Angeles, 

 grower and florist, visited friends in the 

 trade here a few days ago and was a 

 welcome visitor; as usual, he was look- 

 ing on the bright side of life and ra- 

 diating good cheer wherever he went. 



With the exception of Easter lilies, 

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

 thinks there will be plenty of stock for 

 Easter, and he is preparing for a banner

 looking up Easter stock. 



C. Kooyman is receiving large ship- 

 ments of tulips from the Cottage Gar- 

 dens Nurseries, Inc., at Eureka, Cal., and 

 is still getting a good many daffodils 

 from the same source. There is a good 

 demand for this stock, he says, the only 

 difliculty being that the shipments ar-

Easter orders for calla lilies continue 

 to pile up at the headquarters of the 

 United Flower & Supply Co., on Bush 

 street, and current business is reported 

 fairly brisk on these flowers and other 

 seasonable stock. 



Avansino Bros, are starting to pick 

 their crop of peonies and the blooms 

 show excellent quality, owing to the 

 moderate weather. At the Avansino 

 store, preparations for Easter indicate 

 confidence on the part of the proprietors 

 in good business. 



Pelicano, Kossi & Co. have arranged 

 to use an adjoining store for the sale of 

 potted plants at Easter time and, in the
