mences, and there are about 100,000 

 plants now in all stages, from 2-ineh up 

 to 4-inch, ready for the rush. Growers 

 at a distance who do not wish to pay 

 the high express rates on finished plants 

 and yet have their houses full up to 

 Easter depend upon Sawtelle to supply 

 them with stock to grow on for Christ- 

 mas sales. In order to space this im- 

 mense number of plants properly and 

 prevent crowding, some of the rose 

 houses had to be cleared, but the rule 

 here is to go to any length to give the 

 customer what he wants; so out the 

 roses had to go, benches were built for 

 cyclamens and — there you are. 



The orchids are now all practically in 

 their new quarters, two new houses be- 

 ing built especially for them. Two more 

 are being built and will be roofed in 

 after Easter. Under the hands of a 

 most skillful grower, the plants are 

 rapidly rounding out into one of the 

 best trade collections in the state. The 

 majority of the stock is of the labiata 

 variety of cattleya; some good Mossise 

 is in bloom. A considerable batch of 

 Cattleya Skinneri was also in flower, as 

 well as a number of phalsenopsis, for 

 which a special house has been set aside. 

 These are only a few of the outstanding 

 features of a wonderful place, noted on 

 a more or less hurried visit. H. E. K.

The Market. 



Writing a few days before Easter, 

 there seems every reason to believe 

 that the business will be good. There 

 is plenty of stock of all kinds and the 

 weather is cool and favorable for long- 

 distance shipping. At the wholesale 

 houses there is the usual bustle before 

 the holiday, while the retailers |are 

 making a fine display in their windows. 

 Easter lilies, both cut and in pots, are 

 plentiful and of better quality than 

 usual. Daffodils are scarce and bring 

 high prices. Local tulips were a little 

 on the short side, but a good many 

 were shipped in from the north, thus 

 easing the market, although all brought 

 good prices. Eoses are at their best and 

 practically all the growers are in with

a big cut. Callas are in good shape and 

 there are sufficient to meet all demands. 

 Valley, orchids and sweet peas are 

 fairly plentiful, with a brisk demand. 

 Plumosus is scarce, the plants not yet 

 having gotten over the effects of the 

 frost. Even the largest growers have 

 had to cut down on their orders, and 

 the small amount sent in is not by any 

 means good in quality. There is a good 

 supply of maidenhair and this helps out 

 locally. Other hardy greens and ever- 

 greens are plentiful. Outside of Easter 

 lilies and a few roses, cinerarias are

Various Notes. 



Under tlie name of the Celeste Floral 

 Shoppe, G. L. Clarke and'C. M. Zimlich 

 have opened a retail store at 1026 South 

 Figueroa street, which is attractive, to 

 say the least. 



E. McLellan, the well known rose 

 grower of San Francisco, was in the 

 city last week, visiting the market and 

 growers. He speaks highly of the prog-
