;ilso I'l'ding the piiii'h of frost. To one 

 well known florist in another (state, Mrs. 

 J>urbee wired: "Stock scarce, frostbit- 

 ten, c:in 't sliip. " The reply came back 

 jironiptly, ''Shiji anyway." 



V. C. Jaeger & Son say they have 

 been ])lanning some new and stsirtling 

 window dis])lays, but they cannot stage 

 these dis])lays until the i)resent shortage 

 of stock ce.-ises. This firm finds that 

 business is good in spite of the high 

 prices. 



Enonioto & Co. have quite ;i fair 

 amount of freesias and carnations and 

 they are expecting good crops of roses 

 as soon as warmer weather sets in. 

 At pr(>sent the weather is s\niny, 

 V>ut there are sharp frosts at night. T. 

 Honda states that Enomoto & Co. are 

 only able to handle one-third of their 

 aver.'ige violet shipments. 



Domoto Bros, are fortunate in li.aving 

 a gottd many roses coming from their 

 nurseries, including I'remier, Prima 

 Donna, Kussell, Oplielia and Hoosier. 

 They also h;ive freesias ;ind a good 

 many ])otted plants. 



.1. Okumura. of tlie United Flower 

 & Supply Co., says that the killing frosts 

 h;ive jiractically doubled the ])rices of 

 roses and carn.ations. The young sweet 

 ])eas were nip])ed on the vines, with the 

 j)rol)al)le result of .a late sweet ))ea crop 

 this season. 



What is stated to have been the larg- 

 est sliipment of rose bushe.s ever sent 

 in one consignment from California has 

 safely reached its destination, at Kiver- 

 ton, N. J. The shipment, which weighed 

 129,300 pounds, occupied four specially 

 heated cars. It was moved from Mon- 

 tebello, Cal., over the Southern Pacific 

 railway vi.a New Orleans and took 

 twelve days en route. 



Frank Thatcher, of Pelicano, Rossi 

 & Co., says that they are greatly dis- 

 appointed because they cannot supply 

 the usual amount of potted azaleas this 

 year to the Chinese trade. It is an an- 

 nual custom to use azaleas for Chinese 

 New Year, which occurs early in Feb- 

 ruary. Pelicano, Rossi & Co. usually 

 supply much of this demand, but al- 

 though they have some fine azaleas, they 

 could use many more. Mr. Thatcher 

 says that the way in which the tips 

 of the heather have been bitten by the 

 cold will probably affect next year's 

 crop.

 be moved from 368 Sutter street to
