there is not a noticeable shortage, the 

 somewhat cold and gloomy weather has 

 retarded stock sufficiently to make good 

 stock none too plentiful. There are 

 many fruit blossoms, the crab-apple 

 being the latest to come in. If it were 

 not for the various fruit and orna- 

 mental sprays, there would be a short- 

 age of stock for decorative purposes. 

 Pussy willows and acacias are near the 

 end of their season. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Mazey, of Minneapolis, Minn., 

 paid a flying visit to Sau Francisco, and 

 B. M. Joseph helped her to make the 

 most of her one afternoon here by 

 driving her over the Ocean, Presidio 

 and Twin Peaks boulevards, to show 

 the fine views of the Pacific ocean. 



Martin Beukauf is at San Francisco, 

 representing H. Bayersdorfer & Co., 

 Philadelphia. Mr. Reukauf says busi- 

 ness is good on the Pacific coast, espe- 

 cially with the florists. 



Many of the florists iv towns in the 

 interior are busy lining uj» their Easter 

 stock. One o^ the early visitors to the 

 nurseries around the bay was Fred 

 Moore, of Sacramento, Cal., who ordered 

 a quantity of goods at the MacRorie- 

 McLaren nurseries, which have been 

 specializing in rhododendrons and 

 cinerarias. Manager L. J. Capurro, at 

 the Powell street store of this firm, re- 

 cently put some of the first Parrot 

 tulips in the window and these created 

 much curiosity. 



Mrs. Ruth Ellis is the latest acquisi- 

 tion to the stafif of Julius Eppstein, of 

 the St. Francis Hotel Flower Store. 

 Mrs. Ellis was formerly with the Ameri- 

 can Florist, on Polk street. 



J. A. Axell is doing well with some 

 new baskets he is displaying. They 

 come in sets of three and four and the 

 stands are of assorted heights, the 

 baskets that surmount them being in- 

 terchangeable. The lowest of the stands 

 is not too t.all for a table decoration, 

 while the highest is fitted for aisle deco 

 ration, when the largest of the three 

 movable baskets is put on it. Mr. 

 Axell is having the baskets painted tn 

 suit the wishes of his retailers and a set 

 has just been finished for Podesta & 

 Baldocchi, in "Harding" blue. 



H. A. Avansino, manager of the ¥.. 

 W. McLellan Co., states that the firm 

 has been cutting from 50,000 to 60,000 

 daffodils a day, but their days are num- 

 bered. He expects to have a pretty 

 good crop of rosea for Easter, together 

 with plenty of violets.
