New Colored Freesias 



The only Colored 

 Freesias that have 

 made good when 

 grovv^n in quantity. 



Price now reduced low 

 enough to make them a 

 profitable bulb for every- 

 one to grow. 



Gen. Pershing (Frey) 



Extra robust grower, ;} ft. ia height, with 

 4 to 5 long side laterals; large open flowers 

 of lavender pink, yellow lip and somewhat 

 of a bronze cast. The cut flowers have 

 created quite a sensation on the Chicago 

 Market for several seasons and command 

 the highest market prices. 



Viola (Frey) 



Like a large wood violet, the lower petals 

 of a deeper violet blue, a beautiful, distinct 

 and valuable hybrid. The growth is about 

 30 in. in height, with 4 to •"> long side laterals, 

 long enough for any floral work. Sold at 

 good prices on the Chicago Market for 

 several seasons.

ITS, such as stocks, delphinium, hydran- 

 geas and summer lil.'ic. Gardenias are 

 plentiful and the supply of lilies of the 

 valley is still sufficient to take care 

 of the market, but orchids are scarce. 

 Various Notes. 



The foriiijil openinji of the H.unk of 

 Italy's new building, at Market, Eddy 

 and Powell streets, caused an outpour- 

 ing of floral offerings, such as no other 

 occasion has brought forth in San Fran- 

 cisco, according to men who have been 

 in the l)Usiness here for years. "I 

 don't think any one event ever brought 

 out so many flowers," said Frank D. 

 Pelicano, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co. F. C. 

 -Jaeger, Sr., and other florists also said 

 the same. From the ))asement to the sixth 

 floor, the big l)uilding was decorated 

 with flowers and ferns that gave it the 

 a[ipe.arance of being the background for 

 a flower show. Some of the set pieces 

 were eight or ten feet in height. Every 

 florist's store in the city had its share 

 of the trade. The various branches of 

 the Bank of Italy, throughout the state, 

 gave orders for pieces, costing $50 and 

 upward, distributing them among vari-
