NEPHROLEPSI5 HILLSI 



A NEW FERN 



This Is the most disinct commercial novelty in many years. 

 It oriKinated in our nursery, as a sport from Teddy, Jr., but, 

 as will be seen by the illustration, it is of an entirely different 

 character to the parent, of stronger growth and a most re- 

 markable variety. It will eventually become as popular as the 

 Boston and, having worked up a large stock, we are offering 

 it direct to the trade at a very low price for such a valuable 

 novelty. Stronsr, healthy plant* in 5-inch pota, $9.00 per dozen. 

 Smaller stock will be offered in April. 



Good, hardy, assorted Boston, 

 Roosevelt and Harris!!, 4-inch, pot-bound, 

 ready to ship, $25.00 per 100. 



From beds, ready for 5-inch pots 



$20.00 per 100. Plus 10% for boxing. 

 Finished stock from 5-inch to 10-inch always on 

 hand in quantity.

A special decoration at the Athletic

The new market of the American 

 Florists' F.\chaiige ojiencd up well St. 

 Valentine's day morning and everybody 

 was rajiidly sold out. Tlic ojiening hour 

 was set for C^TO a. m., but changed a 

 few days later to 7:00 a. m., as it was 

 the goiicr;il opinion that the former hour 

 was a llttki too early, both for growers 

 from a distance and for retailers. The 

 California Flower Market has agreed 

 to o]i('n at the same time, according to 

 the directors. II. K. K.

The Market. 



There are now quantities of spring 

 flowrrs on the market. Even the fact 

 that some of the coldest weather of the 

 winter was exjierieiiced last week did 

 not make any apjirociable difference in 

 the flower supply. A little of the stock 

 was sjioiled, but so much was coming on 

 that the frost-bitten flowers were not 

 missed. The rain which has just swej)! 

 down on the coast is expected to break 

 the cold spell. Violets are abundant 

 and of excellent ship])ing variety. 

 Paper White narcissi, freesias, hya- 

 cinths. tuli])s, c'lrnatioiis and marigolds 

 arc all jilcntiful. While daffodils are 

 now between seasons, tliere are enough 

 to take care of the market and the sec-

 noticeable shortage is in roses. The 

 cold spell helil the roses back, with the

 Acacia sjn-ays and many kinds of fruit

 enough orchids to go around, but the
