Mrs. Copeland, of the Misses Hannon 

 store, has been lining up Easter stock 

 at the nurseries and is full of enthusi- 

 asm for the excellent showings made 

 by the growers. 



The C. Kooyman Co. is cutting about 

 10,000 King Alfred daffodils daily. 

 These large flowers are bringing in the 

 local market about four times the price 

 commanded by the ordinary varieties. 

 Mr. Kooyman has some 100,000 rubrum 

 lilies coming in, which he expects to 

 begin cutting about June 1. 



J. A. Axell has been making the 

 rounds of the local lily growers and, 

 as a result of his in\4&stigations, states 

 that, judging from the present outlook, 

 there will not be much more than 12,000 

 potted lilies for the San Francisco 

 market during the Easter season. This 

 is because growers grew lilies in the 

 past and were disappointed in buying 

 their bulbs. War conditions caused the 

 Japanese bulbs to jump from $50 to 

 $150 per thousand. The Japanese mar- 

 ket was made chaotic by embargoes on 

 tonnage, which left the Nipponese bulb 

 men with a lot of unsold stock on hand 

 two years ago. Later, these bulb men 

 sold only at market prices on delivery. 

 Growers who ordered in advance found, 

 on delivery, that they were buying at 

 prices that spelled a loss. The result

The Market. 



The second week of March continued 

 with warm, sunshiny days, which 

 brought an abundance of good stock 

 and dispelled the fears of the growers, 

 who thought that their stock would not 

 be advanced enough for this year's 

 early Easter. As a whole, the Easter 

 lilies are in fine shape and will be ready, 

 with few exceptions, for the Easter 

 market in plenty of time. Darwin 

 tulips have put in their appearance in 

 most of the stores and sell readily at 

 a fair price. Outdoor daffodils are 

 plentiful and the stores are not able to 

 handle all that are offered; consequent- 

 ly the surplus is sold on the street and 

 in the public market, \ranging in price 

 from 15 to 25 cents per dozen. This 

 has had a tendency to kill their sale
