 San Lorenzo, Calif. 



A few of the early spring flowers, 

 freesias and narcissi, made their first 

 showing last week and especially nota- 

 ble is the first cut of daffodils, which 

 were brought in by a San Francisco 

 grower. He quickly disposed of the ten 

 dozen at $1 per dozen and retailers are 

 getting from $1.50 to $2 for a dozen 

 blooms. The bulbs from this early crop 

 are from the Kooyman stock and both 

 Mr. Kooyman and the grower are well 

 pleased with the success of the early 

 planting. 



Greens of all varieties, red berries, 

 redwood branches and other Christmas 

 decorating material are arriving in 

 larger and larger quantities at the local 

 market. In addition to the uncultivated 

 stock, which is secured in the surround- 

 ing foothill country, shipments of Eng- 

 lish holly are coming in from the north, 

 as well as autumn leaves. 



Potted plants are getting in good 

 shape for the holidays. Azaleas, cycla- 

 mens and begonias were seen in fairly 

 large quantity last week, but the quality 

 of most of the stock can stand improve- 

 ment. 



It is thought by a number of the flo- 

 rists that potted ferns, palms and stock 

 of that character will be scarce this 

 season. So far none of the growers 

 have given any evidence of having more 

 than enough barely to tide them over — 

 in fact a number of them have advised 

 the retailer to pay particular attention 

 to his orders for the holidays. All are 

 advocating early buying. 

 Various Notes. 



L. Piccetti, of the Chas. C. Navlet Co., 

 states that the rain of last week will 

 undoubtedly stimulate the purchase of 

 rose bushes and ornamental shrubbery 

 of all sorts. A particularly dry fall has 

 held most of the planting back, but now 

 the ground will be in good planting con- 

 dition. This firm has a good supply of 

 rose bushes and anticipates cleaning up 

 nicely on the stock on hand. Mr. Pic- 

 cetti also commented on the number of 

 advance orders which he is receiving, 

 due to the fear of shortage. He says 

 that this season's prices have made no 

 difference so far in the amount of buy- 

 ing. 



The stock of potted plants which E. 

 James, of Elmhurst, is bringing in is 

 excellent. His new begonia is handled 

 by Pelicano, Rossi & Co. and, according 

 to reports from that firm, the variety is 

 growing decidedly popular. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. is busy with 

 rose shipments. The Burlingame nurs- 

 eries are cutting excellent blooms and 

 H. Avansino is keeping his staff busy 

 with this work. Russell is particularly 

 fine, with Ophelia running a close sec- 

 ond in the matter of popularity.
