hand and compared them with many 

 park criticisms, which he thinks unduly 

 magnify the defects from the necessity 

 of more tree replacements, the removal 

 of dead wood, proper thinning and prun- 

 ing, etc. 



"That increased appropriations and 

 executive direction for promptly effect- 

 ing the needed park improvements are 

 vitally important cannot be ques- 

 tioned," adds Mr. Kelsey. "This is 

 well illustrated by the present decadent 

 condition of Central park, in New York 

 city, and of Prospect park, in Brooklyn, 

 N. Y., the two large centrally located 

 parks of Greater New York. The loss of 

 trees annually in Central park has been 

 officially reported as 3,500 and in Pros- 

 pect park nearly as many. Each of these 

 parks should have at least $500,000 

 special appropriation for restoring the 

 plantings, improving the turf, repairing 

 the walks and other pressing improve- 

 ments. That these parks are an in- 

 comparable asset of the city, as are the 

 parks of other cities, and an almost 

 priceless possession must impress every- 

 one who can see and enjoy what is now 

 enjoyable for the public. The general 

 condition of most of the other parks of 

 New York city is fairly good and the 

 varied topographies of Central and 

 Prospect parks are attractive features. ' ' 



SAN FRANCISCO NOTES. 



(Continued from page 118.) 



they are handling just enough violets, 

 carnations and roses to satisfy their cus- 

 tomers. 



A trip to Sacramento, Stockton and 

 other central California cities has just 

 been taken by Yukichi Noda, of the 

 Growers' Floral Co. "Business is good 

 with the florists of the Sacramento val- 

 ley, but the cold weather has made stock 

 scarce," he said. The Growers' Floral 

 Co. has freesias and daffodils of good 

 quality and is also handling a good many 

 violets. 



I. Inoue, of the United Flower & Sup- 

 ply Co., is returning from a winter spent 

 in Chicago via the southern route. He is 

 expected to reach San Francisco about 

 January 19. This firm expects that the 

 atock shortage will only be temporary. 



The Okada Bros., of Oakland, say that 

 they are going into carnation growing, 

 because of the carnation shortage. 



Julius Eppstein, of the St. Francis 

 hotel flower store, spent the second 

 week of the New Year on an auto trip 

 to Los Angeles. A large wedding at the 

 Hotel Bellevue and other social work 

 kept his store busy during His absence.
