Sow them now for midwinter and early 

 Spring blooming. Seed saved from an un- 

 excelled collection of pot grown plants, remark- 

 able for their compact habit and enormous size 

 of blooms; the latter often attain a diameter of 

 four inches and over. 



We have been selecting the finest plants for seed 

 bearers for many years and the seed has been carefully 

 hand picked, is strong in germinating qualities, and 

 contains a wide range of colors, running from purest 

 white to darkest crimson, including all the intermediate shades of blue, lavender, pink, scarlet, etc. 



Azaleas and similar plants will be scarce during the coming Winter.

John Morley, superintendent of the 

 San Diego parks, is a visitor this week. 

 He is staying with F. H. Howard, of 

 Howard & Smith, at his home at Monte- 

 bello. Mr. Morley has quite recovered 

 from his recent operation and is in the 

 best of health now. 



Progress is the note at the Broadway 

 Florists, a new Overland delivery car 

 having been put on to take care of the 

 increasing business. Funeral work and 

 lots of it has been the big thing here. 

 This firm has bought out the Eoserie on 

 West Third street and is running it in 

 connection with the Broadway store. 



D. S. Purdie has the sympathy of his 

 many friends in his wife's illness. Mrs. 

 Purdie underwent a serious operation 

 at the Pacific hospital and for some time 

 was in considerable danger of losing 

 her life, but she is now recovering 

 nicely.

Extensive preparations are in prog- 

 ress here for Memorial day business, the 

 general opinion being that a greater de- 

 mand for flowers will be experienced 

 this year than ever before. Various rea- 

 sons are given for the optimistic atti-

 the general prosperity which pre-

For a good many years cut flowers 

 of the cheaper varieties have been sold 

 in great quantities by venders at the 

 cemetery gates on the outskirts of San
