with Scotch heather, potted cyclamens, 

 tulips, hyacinths and primulas. Lilies 

 of the valley are scarce. Tliero are some 

 cut hyacinths and snowdrops, but the 

 quantity of these is not suflScient to 

 make much of an impression on the 

 market. Even marigolds are scarce and 

 expensive, but it is hoped that a few 

 days of sunshine will soon make the 

 spring stock begin to come forward 

 again in a normal manner. 



Various Notes. 



Adrian J. Schoorl has been investigat- 

 ing the sweet pea situation. He says 

 Ihat there will be a shortage of early 

 blooms, because the young plants that 

 were up six inches or more have been 

 nipped by the frost. On this account, 

 Mr. Schoorl has been doing a rushing 

 business in sweet pea seed, as the grow- 

 ers who are growing them for cut flowers 

 find it necessary to replant. The smaller 

 sweet i)ea plants, however, have not suf- 

 fered much from the cold snap, so that 

 the later seed sweet pea crop will not be 

 affected. "Growers of sweet peas for 

 the flower market are planting again at 

 full speed," said Mr. Schoorl. 



0. H. Carlson, rose grower of Miune- 

 ."ipolis, is visiting the city. 



E. O. Lincoln, of Santa Cruz, motored 

 up this week. 



Ernst Amling, of Santa Ana, Cal., 

 formerly of Chicago, and his brother, 

 Otto Amling, of Chicago, are here calling 

 on their friends in the trade. They were 

 in Los Angeles recently and, as the snow 

 has been lying on the ground there, the 

 plaints of San Franciscans regarding the 

 cold here did not arouse the sympathy 

 which might have been possible had they 

 < ome from a warmer south. 



The C. Kooyman Co. is cutting early 

 daffodils on its acreage in Alameda 

 I'ounty. F. W. Davis, of this firm, finds 

 that blessings sometimes come disguised 

 as misfortunes. He had some choice, 

 imported sweet pea seed, the planting of 

 which was delayed on account of a lack 

 of fertilizer. He is not sorry for the 

 delay, however, for now he has some of 

 the good seed left, while all the young 

 plants are frostbitten. 



J. A. Axell is still hoping for a few 

 warm days in order that St. Valentine's
