from greatly exceeding the demand, and 

 the shipping business furnished an out- 

 let for a good deal of stock. Carnations, 

 especially the white varieties, were held 

 back for Mothers' day, and this caused 

 a decided shortage in the local market 

 for several days. Some of the shippers 

 reported that they could not get the 

 flowers to fill their orders for out-of- 

 town delivery. 



There is little change in the rose 

 situation since the last report. Good 

 roses sell at moderate prices, while the 

 shorter stock and inferior blooms have 

 to be cleared at low figures. The aver- 

 age quality is excellent. Iris is in full 

 crop and is having a good demand, but 

 the cut will probably begin to decline 

 within ten or fourteen days. Gladioli 

 are seen liere and there, but the light 

 offerings do not cut much figure in the 

 market. Peonies are arriving in gener- 

 ous lots. The colored blooms are given 

 preference over the white ones and 

 bring higher prices. A few fine poppies 

 have put in an appearance. Daisies are 

 plentiful, and the supply of delphiniums, 

 calceolarias, coreopsis, cornflowers and 

 otlier outdoor stock is increasing from 

 day to day. Eanunculi and anemones 

 are about gone, and the same is true 

 of tulips. Valley is about equal to the 

 demand, but more orchids could be used 

 ou certain days. Much hawthorn is 

 used in decorative work. Asparagus 

 and adiautum are plentiful and of good 

 quality. 



Horticultural Society Meeting. 



_ The Pacific Coast Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its regular meeting May 5. 

 One of the principal matters to come 

 u]) was the question of holding a flower 

 sliow in San Francisco next spring, 

 ])r()ljably in March. Mucli interest was 

 sliown in the proposition, especially 

 after C. W. Ward offered to guarantee 

 .$1,(»00 for the event. H. Plath, wlio lias 

 been a moving spirit in former shows, 

 tlianked Mr. Ward lieartily on bolialf of 

 tlie society for liis generous offer. Frank 

 Pelieano announced ]ilans for tlie dalilia 

 slidw to be given early in Se])tombi'r l)y 

 till' Dahlia Society of California. 



For tlie bowling committoo, Victor 

 Podesta proj)osod an organization of 

 teams to start ])ractieing at once, and 

 the response was gratifying. The fol- 

 lowing signed: A. ,T. Axell, M. A. Poss, 

 Fiank Pelieano, I'etcr Fcirari. Victor

and J. Pagano. For the lecture commit- 

 tee, Mr. Bagee promised to read a paper 

 at the next meeting ou ' ' Brands and 

 Misbrands. " The books of the society 

 were audited and reported in good order. 

 It was voted to take $800 on hand and 

 deposit it ou interest. An application 

 for membership was received from 

 .Jonathan E. Webb, of Kentfield. Col. 

 Dawson, of Virginia, was welcomed as 

 a visitor, being the guest of C. W. 

 Ward. He gave an interesting talk on 

 his love for flowers. A fine exhibit of 

 German irises was made by E. Lohrman, 

 of San Rafael. Mr. Lohrman spoke at 

 length on tliis flower. 



Various Notes. 



Ferrari Bros, liavo received a ship- 

 ment of orcliids from South America. 

 Tliis firm has not long been engaged in 

 commercial orcliid growing on an ex- 

 tensive scale, but it lias already attained 

 a re[)utation in this line. 



Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, CaL, was 

 here last week on one of his periodic 

 visits and reported business holding up 

 well in the Cajiital City. 



George Wagner, until recently em- 

 ployed in tlie flower business at St. 

 Louis, Mo., has been added to the staff 

 at B. M. Jose])h 's store. He lias had 

 considerable exi)erience as a decorator 

 and is turning out fine work.

The F. W. McLellan Co. has a fine 

 crop of Russell roses, and A. J. Axel! 

 reports a steadily increasing demand for 

 this variety. He says May ])romises to 

 be a particularly good month, as the 

 regular demand leaves no ground for 

 comjilaint, and tlie special orders for 

 Motliers' day and Memorial day bid fair 

 to l)ring the grand total up to a new 

 liigh record for a spring month. Tlie 

 coni])any did a heavy shipping business 

 for Mothers' day, indicating that the 

 country florists liave come to realize 

 more fully the possibilities of increased 

 sales on that day. A nice lot of orders 

 have been booked for Memorial day. 



Archie X. Baldocchi, with Podesta & 

 Baldocclii, has been confined to liis home
