ing artichoke, the globes of which, Mr. 

 Burbaiik says, are as beautiful as roses, 

 but ten times as large. These artichokes, 

 as well as being ornamental, are edible. 

 A new poppy, the Argmone Mariposa, 

 is prickly; the new flowering hibiscus, 

 Manihot, is lemon yellow; tlie new ama- 

 rantus has been named Molten Tire, and 

 the i)erforated dwarf sunflower, Prolific 

 White, bears big heads on stems only 

 three feet in height. 



The Humboldt Evergreen Co., For- 

 tuna, Cal., reports the best sale it has 

 ever known, during holiday season, of 

 its Mexican ivy. Over 200,000 sprays of 

 this Mexican ivy were disposed of in 

 Christmas orders alone. Licslie Smith is 

 manager of the firm, which specializes in 

 Mexican ivy. 



A large amount of funeral work is 

 reported by Darbee's. Mrs. Darbee said, 

 "Possibly the unusually cold weather 

 has had something to do with this." 

 This firm always specializes in fancy 

 California acacia and it reports that 

 the Baileyana variety of this popular 

 flowering sjiray will soon be ready for 

 cutting. 



E. W. Wallace and C. W. Rose, of the 

 Pacific Bulb Co., Santa Cruz, have been 

 visiting the San Francisco trade. They 

 say that the freesia market is increas- 

 ing in volume by leaps and bounds. 

 Large quantities of tliese have been 

 planted and the fields look promising. 

 Yellow calla lilies have been in strong 

 demand this year in the Santa Cruz sec- 

 tion. 



J. A. Axell is in receipt of a post card 

 from James A. Brown, of Brown's Bulb 

 Kanch, Capitola, Cal. Mr. Brown is pay- 

 ing his annual visit to Europe and ex- 

 pects to return about tlie middle of 

 February. He says that he has found 

 sweet pea seed conditions good in Eng- 

 land and Denmark. He wrote from Ber- 

 lin. Mr. Axell seems able to get roses 

 and carnations, however great the sliort- 

 age. No one, however, has enough roses 

 and the growers who ))ring them in can 

 keep bankers' liours at present, as the 

 trade waits for them no matter if it is 

 10 a. m. before they arrive. Mr. Axell 

 is handling good crops of fine Laddie 

 carnations and has all the violets he 

 needs. 



Henry Avansino, who recently bought 

 a nursery in Alameda county, is begin- 

 ning to cut a house of Columbia roses. 



Domoto Bros, are handling a consider- 

 able quantity of violets and consider 

 themselves fortunate in being able to 

 get enough to meet the demand. "Roses 

 are scarce, but we have been able to get 

 enough to take care of our customers," I
