pleasure has given him greater satisfac- 

 tion than the consciousness acquired that 

 the florists around San Francisco bay 

 are not in any sense behind the trade in 

 other parts of the country. 



William Metzger, of Wenona, 111., was 

 in town May 26 to place some Memorial 

 day orders.

The Market. 



A week of cold, damp, rainy weather 

 held back all growing and greatly re- 

 tarded stock for Memorial day. The 

 late spring has greatly affected the 

 peonies, the mainstay of the market on 

 this day, so that this crop will not make 

 it. A few will be available, but the 

 great bulk will not come in until later. 



Boses are in medium supply and 

 range from $4 up. Carnations have been 

 in rather limited supply and make from 

 $6 to $10. Snapdragons are on the de- 

 cline both in quantity and quality. 

 Calla lilies are fast disappearing- from 

 the market. Sweet peas are also prac- 

 tically gone and those few that are 

 available are of poor quality. Various 

 small flowers, including pansies, calen- 

 dulas, centaureas, poppies and early field 

 Shasta daisies are on display. 



Flowers for Memorial day will be 

 scarce. Outdoor iris will help fill in, 

 bnt the usual supply of flowers will not 

 be available. Some stocks, candytuft 

 and feverfew will also add to this 

 meager amount. 



The bedding season is just beginning 

 to open up. Some few firms are doing 

 box and vase filling, but the majority 

 are marketing their stock in pots and 

 letting the public do the planting. 

 A great rush is expected in this line in 

 the next week or ten days, as the season 

 is growing late and the weather is just 

 beginning to permit outside planting. 



Various Notes. 



The trade extends sympathy to the 

 relatives and friends of S. T. Hitz, who 

 died May 24 at the home of fit^«M».
