and as a result nearly all the spring 

 business activity is in the seed depart- 

 ments. The food propaganda undoubt- 

 edly has acted as a great impetus to the 

 sale of .seeds. 



Business in nearly all lines is good, 

 though not markedly so. There seems 

 to be a tendency to tighten purse strings 

 a wee bit. Funeral work forms the bulk 

 of the business riglit now. 



Various Notes, 



H. L. Olsson reports good progress 

 with his new range. While materials 

 were liigh when he bouglit them, he con- 

 siders himself lucky, as both paint and 

 glass have taken a big jump in price 

 since the time he made his purchases. 



Edward Young came in from Walla 

 Walla this week to consult Mr. Olsson 

 regarding tliroe new liouses, each 28x200, 

 which he will build this summer. He 

 ])urchased considerable stock from local 

 growers. 



E. S. Eugene was well pleased with 

 the attention his new store drew on 

 opening day, and since then has had 

 reason to remark that if business con- 

 tinues as it has begun, he will have to 

 enlarge his force. L. B. II. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Prospects are c()usidere<l excellent for 

 Memorial day business. The season has 

 been more or less backward, and this will 

 cause an abundance of good stock to 

 come into crop for the holiday. There 

 will be many good callas, for instance, 

 and Easter lilies still will be in good sup- 

 ])ly. Daisies j)romise well, and gladioli no 

 doubt will be up to standard. For long- 

 distance shipping strawflowers will be 

 excellent. Inquiries are being received 

 from the northwest, indicating that 

 Oregon and Washington florists will 

 draw heavily on this market. The qual- 

 ity of all roses is excellent, but the sup- 

 ply is a little above demand, with the 

 result that splendid long-stemmed Ameri- 

 can Beauties and fine specimens of other 

 varieties drag rather heavily. Outdoor 

 Brunners are beginning to come in nice- 

 ly. Kaiserin is fine, and Ward, Ophelia 

 and Russell leave nothing to be desired. 



Carnations are in sufficient supply; so 

 are sweet peas. Tulips are about gone, 

 but they can be spared in view of the

abundance of other spring flowers, the 

 supply of which, as a wliole, shows no 

 signs of diminishing. Spanish iris is a 

 strong factor now, and gladioli are ap- 

 ])earing. Anemones and ranunculi are 

 on the wane, after holding an enviable 

 jiosition for several weeks. The large 

 Japanese tree peonies are through, but 

 they are being followed by other varie- 

 ties. Quantities of hawthorn are arriv- 

 ing from the Santa Clara valley, and 

 the quality is about the best ever seen 

 here and the stock cleans up readily. 

 After being on the short side of the 

 market most of tlic time for months, 

 orchids are in ample supply. Valley is 

 plentiful, and anything not up to mark 

 is hard to clear. The cut of gardenias 

 is sufficient to fill all needs. In potted 

 ])lants many primroses are still to be 

 seen, and French hydrangeas and rhodo- 

 dendrons are good. So far as greens are 

 concerned, the situation leaves no 

 ground for complaint. 



Various Notes. 



Plans are well under way for the

tion and tlie California Dalilia Society. 

 .\ jireliminary show schedule has been 

 issued in advance of tlie complete ex- 

 hibit and premium list that will follow 

 shortly. A special feature will be made 

 of dahlias originated in California, it 

 being the ofjinion of some members of 

 the society that California dahlias are 

 sufficiently meritorious to compete 

 against those from any other section of 

 the country. V. C. Burns, chairman of 

 the exhibit committee, asks that dahlia 

 lovers and commercial dahlia growers 

 desiring to offer premiums for the ex- 

 hibitions communicate with him at once, 

 in order to have acknowledgment and 

 mention on the official program. If the 

 Palace hotel sliow is a great success 

 it will probably be followed by another 

 show at the St. Francis hotel, the pro- 

 ceeds of which, above expenses, will be 

 turned over to the Red Cross.
