R. G. FRASER & SON, ^^'^K'SSSSJlA'"' Pasadena, California

The. first of this season's bicolor jon- 

 quils were shown by the Hollywood Gar- 

 dens from their own greenhouses. The 

 cut of Columbia and Butterfly roses has 

 increased to such an extent that the 

 shipment of California stock has been 

 stopped. 



Stuber & Richardson are showing 

 some excellent early Easter lilies, and 

 have probably the best stand they have 

 produced in a number of years. H. M.

The Market. 



Daffodils abound at present, the late 

 Emperor being exceedingly plentiful 

 and cheap. Flowering fruit sprays are 

 also plentiful and are being used ex- 

 tensively for decorative purposes. Flo- 

 rists are beginning to receive some 

 Easter stock, especially roses in pots, 

 cinerarias, hyacinths and bulbous stock. 

 Carnations are plentiful and cheap. 

 Boses are good and clieupcr. Both roses 

 and violets are in good shape for ship- 

 ping at present, but the violets are 

 nearing the end of the season. Spring 

 flowers, such as marigolds, are plentiful 

 and are in demand in the cheaper grades. 

 There are plenty of good spring flow- 

 ers, however, and the market is cleaned 

 up regularly. 



Various Notes. 



The 22,0(1(1 ton steamship, Golden 

 Gate, from Baltimore, Md., via the 

 Panama canal, wa.s welcomed with 

 flowers to her home port March 7. The 

 Pacific Mail Steamship Co. placed the 

 decorations in the hands of the Mae- 

 Rorie-McLarcn Co. Manager J. Capurro 

 and his staff spent Sunday, March 6, 

 in the hills, gathering thousands of the 

 golden California poppy, esehseholtzia. 

 Decorated from bow to stern, the 

 Golden Gate steamed proudly to the 

 harbor. When it stopped at the quar- 

 antine station aeroplanes showered the 

 decks with poppies. All the passengers 

 were presented with corsage bouquets 

 or boutonnieres of poppies and violets.
