dant. The flowering peach is in full 

 bloom, as are the flowering quince, plum, 

 cherry, almond and acacia. Tulips and 

 hyacinths are fairly plentiful and arc 

 being bought locally for baskets and 

 decorative work. 



Various Notes. 



The question of Easter advertising is 

 already absorbing the attention of the 

 Retail Florists' Association of San 

 Francisco. It is believed that by Easter 

 flowers will be sufficiently plentiful to 

 warrant stimulating the demand. 



Floral decorations contributed toward 

 beautifying the Exposition auditorium 

 for the automobile show, which was 

 given during the last week in February. 

 The building is of vast proportions, but, 

 as a rule, it is not beautiful. For the 

 occasion it was transformed into the 

 semblance of a Greek temple, and 

 flowers aided in giving a gala appear- 

 ance. The firm of Brown & Kennedy 

 did some of the most extensive deco- 

 rating, using acacia and other sprays in 

 an effective manner. Tlie Lincoln car 

 was decorated by B. M. Joseph and at- 

 tracted much attention with its seliomo 

 of American Beauty roses and white 

 blooms. 



At the store of C. Kooyman Co., n 

 window display of anemones in full 

 bloom has been attracting attention, as 

 thoy are almost the first of the season. 



J. A. Axcll lias a grower who is culti- 

 vating Sjiniiish irises for bulbs, and Mr. 

 Axell is enjoying the benefit of the cut 

 flowers which are better for florists' 

 purposes tlinn the native wild iris wliicli 

 is springing up in California. Mr. Axell 

 absorbs all the stock of Ferrari Bros., 

 but not all of the F'errari Orchid Co. 

 Victor Ferrari, who manages growing 

 for both firms, said, when questioned 

 regarding orchids, "Cattleya Schroe- 

 deraj is in now, but we did not get a 

 large enough supply, as it is not one of 

 the most jiopular varieties to grow; sn 

 we cannot figure on a large crop. 

 Mossias will be the next orchid in, but 

 we do not expect to get many for 

 Easter. Probably about April in this 

 variety will be in heavy supply. Trianse 

 is I'ust finishing its season." 



S. Rosaia & Co. are handling large 

 shipments of violets from their CoIni;i 

 ranch, as well as sprays of acacia, al- 

 mond, cherry and other blooms. 



Dried California strawflowcrs are 

 proving one of the most attractive of-

 striking degree. 



Fine cuts of Easter lilies are seen at 

 the store of Domoto Bros. 



The Growers' Cut Flower Co. is cut- 

 ting an excellent crop of carnations, 

 many of which arc especially large and 

 fine. So many of the growers took o\it 

 carnations and replaced them with 

 roses, that carnations have now become 

 scarce and more costly than they were 

 a few years ago.
