purchasers to plant the land to orchard 

 trees, between the rows of which the 

 nursery will be developed. 



The directors of the San Francisco 

 Cooperative I'lower Market held their 

 meeting a few days ago. The organiza 

 tion was started last fall and the reports 

 for the four months up to the first of 

 the year were read. P. V. Matraia and 

 other directors state that these reports 

 showed a satisfactory condition of pros- 

 perity, although no detailed financial 

 statement is being given out to the pub- 

 lic at this time. 



At its recent annual meeting, the Eich- 

 mond Pottery Co. reelected the fol- 

 lowing oflScers for the coming year: 

 President and treasurer, H. Plath; vice- 

 president, P. V. Rose; secretary, Victor 

 Ferrari. 



Adrian J. Schoorl, speaking of his 

 fourteen varieties of imported staticc 

 seeds and also his helichrysuni, said, 

 "My advertisement in the Florists' Re- 

 view brought remarkable results in the 

 way of orders from all over the country. 

 Orders for garden and flower seeds of 

 special stock are now good." 



F. W. Davis, decorator for the C. Kooy- 

 man Co., was one of the first to make 

 the most of strawflowers when stock 

 became scarce and high. For instance, 

 at a large tea for the Y. W. C. A., he 

 used banks of yellow helichrysum com- 

 bined with maidenhair fern. The ma- 

 jority of the visitors thought these flow- 

 ers were fresh. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. is still short 

 of gardenias, as a result of the ex- 

 plosion of a boiler some weeks ago, but 

 this firm has caught up on everythinjr 

 else, and roses are now coming in well 

 from the nurseries. Oil is used to heat 

 the greenhouses of this range. 



J. W. Axell is a more popular man 

 than ever these days, for he still man- 

 ages to get stock from his growers, al- 

 though not nearly enough for the de- 

 mand. "There is a big demand for 

 stock and we can get neither the qual- 

 ity nor the quantity we should like to 

 have," he said, "and as a result, we 

 have had to defer the filling of orders. 

 Even asparagus and other green goods 

 grown under glass have felt the 

 frost." Mr. Axell added that some of 

 his friends among the growers who 

 thought they owned property in frost- 

 less belts' are now sadder but wiser 

 men. A few days of warm rain may 

 make the violet crop good for St. Valen- 

 tine's day, but the weather change will 

 have to be soon if it is to bring results. 



Mrs. Darbee found it necessary to cut 

 down her shipments considerably on ac- 

 count of a lack of stock. It seems, how- 

 ever, that other cities in the west are
