enough good stock to meet the demand 

 is still arriving. There is an abun- 

 dance of orchids and gardenias, both of 

 which sell seasonably well. 



Various Notes. 



L. Picetti, manager of the local 

 store of the Chas. C. Navlet Co., says 

 that the season for planting has been 

 longer than usual this year. In all va- 

 rieties of bedding plants, flowers as 

 well as vegetables, the demand has 

 been heavier than for some years. At 

 present this firm is supplying a brisk 

 demand for flowering rose bushes. Some 

 of the bushes that were on hand this 

 week reached a height of four or five 

 feet. • 



Mr. Hallowell, of the Hallowell Plant 

 Co., reports a strong demand for bed- 

 ding plants. He has had a big call for 

 dahlia roots also. Although planting is 

 just beginning, his stock is practically 

 cleaned up. Insecticides have been in 

 big demand at this establishment for 

 some time and continue to sell in quan- 

 tity, pests being more annoying this 

 year than usual. 



Mr. Eitter, of Shellgrain & Ritter, 

 in the Sutter hotel building, reports a 

 close clean-up on stock for Mothers' 

 day. Extensive preparations are now 

 being made for Memorial day business, 

 the firm anticipating banner sales. 



The staff of Pelicano, Rossi & Co. is 

 somewhat reduced at present. Frank D. 

 Pelicano has been ill for over two 

 weeks and three other members of the 

 force are also on the sick list. The 

 remainder of the organization, conse- 

 quently, has time for nothing but work, 

 work, work. Business has been de- 

 cidedly good with this firm. 



A nice supply of the new Laddie car- 

 nation, a splendid pink bloom of re- 

 markable size and unusual length of 

 stem, has been arriving here and meets 

 with immediate favor. The new carna- 

 tion is grown by N. Peterson, of San 

 Mateo, proprietor of the Peninsular 

 Nursery. 



Some particularly fine orchids were 

 seen this week at the establishment of 

 Podesta & Baldocchi. Mr. Podesta said 

 that the blooms had never been superior 

 to the ones on hand at present. This 

 firm also had some splendid sprays of 

 Rose Hawthorne and a quantity of 

 Irish Elegance roses, which formed an 

 entire window display during the mid- 

 dle of the week. 



The store of B." M, Joseph reports a 

 big volume of business, funeral work 

 swelling the recent sales to a consider- 

 able extent. Several large weddings 

 are booked for early June, for which 

 quantities of flowers will be needed. 



Avansino Bros, had a few early, 

 single lavender scabiosas of good qual-

ity and some rather good delphiniums. 

 Mr. Avansino spoke particularly of the 

 good quality of herbaceous peonies now 

 on hand. This firm cleaned up well on 

 tree peonies earlier in the season. 



F. C. Jaeger was well pleased with 

 Mothers' day results and anticipates a 

 good Memorial day business, with plen- 

 ty of stock on hand. This firm con- 

 tinues busy on funeral work, sending 

 a fine pall to a Stockton funeral the 

 other day. The alterations on the win- 

 dows in the Powell street shop are near- 

 ly finished and Mr. Jaeger expects to 

 be able to display some artistic designs 

 when the change is completed. He has 

 a fine assortment of potted hydrangeas 

 on hand, which he says are good sellers 

 this season.
