SAN FRANCISCO NOTES. 



(Continued from page 112.) 



J. A. Axcll drove the seventy-eight 

 miles over the new highway to Santa 

 Cruz, January 15. He was impressed 

 both by the "wide, good road and the 

 growth of the bulb aci*eage around 

 Santa Cruz. "I visited various grow- 

 ers and learned that rain had fallen 

 and conditions looked good," said Mr, 

 Axell. "Several of my growers were 

 successful in getting permits for Span- 

 ish iris and there will be lots of 

 it for Easter. An interesting fact is 

 that I saw sections near Santa Cruz bay 

 that are practically frostless. One of 

 my growers showed mo a field of sweet 

 peas three feet in height, that will be 

 ready for cutting in about three weeks. 

 When one thinks how delicate the sweet 

 pea is, one is forced to realize that the 

 plants could not have been in such fine 

 condition had they been subjected to 

 frost. The frostless sections all lie near 

 tlie bay, from which they seem to re- 

 ceive currents of warm air." Mr. Axell 

 predicts that a day or two of warmer 

 weather will bring the violet crop on 

 again in good shape. He cxptM-ts to 

 have plenty of violets for St. Xalfii 

 tine's day. 



Freesias grown under glass by the 

 Seabright Bulb Co., of Santa Cruz, are 

 being successfully handle<l by J. A. 

 Axell.

 the violet blooms, but it has ruined the 

 leaves.
