much satisfaction as carnations, and the 

 trade could meet all demands." Mr. 

 Inoue added tlutt this lirm had enjoyed 

 tlie most prosiJerous Easter in its history. 

 There were not so many $20 orders as 

 last year, but the great increase in orders 

 of about $5 more than made up for the 

 difference. 



Enomoto & Co. enjoyed a better Easter 

 business than last year, although flow- 

 ers were cheaper. They sliipped out 

 many roses, Spanish iris, tulips and 

 eucalyptus boughs with buds and pods. 

 Violets they have disc(Hitiuued shij)- 

 jjing, because the quality of tlie stock 

 is no longer good. Oecilo Brunner 

 roses, wliich were scarce earlier in the 

 year, are now coming plentifully from 

 their nurseries. 



M. Domoto is often called the Lily 

 King, because of the largo number of 

 lilies grown by Domoto Bros. Many thou- 

 sands of Easter lilies, both cut and potted, 

 were haiuUed in this firm's large Easter 

 business. 



The Matsonia, the Empire State and 

 a number of other big steamers, sailing 

 la.st week, kept several of the leading 

 florists working at full jiressure to fill 

 orders for bon voyage baskets. Podesta 

 & Baldocclii have a standing order to 

 decorate all the boats of one large trans- 

 Pacific line on sailing day, and this al- 

 ways adds to the rush of work when 

 several steamers leave on the same date, 

 as bon voyage baskets are becoming a 

 regular jiart of the telegraph delivery 

 work at this seaport. 



Ij. B. Harding, formerly of Podesta 

 ic Baldocchi's, has gone into the grow- 

 ing business for liiniself, iu tiio trans- 

 bay region. 



"Easter business was good, even bet- 

 ter than last year," was the statement 

 made bv Frank Thatcher, of Pelicano, 

 Rossi &'Co. 



Axansino Bros. & Co. have some brown 

 and yellow flowers featured iu their 

 window that cause some ))Coplc to ask, 

 "Are they orchids."' The answer is 

 always, " Xo, they are tulii)s, '("a]i' 

 specials." liouis Capurio, of this lirm, 

 says he was fortunate iu securing an un- 

 usual variety of the jiarrot tulip, and 

 growing it successfully at his brother- 

 in-law's ]dace across the bay. Here, too, 

 he has just planted some fig trees from 

 I'alermo, Cal., that were two years in 

 quarantine. 



F. C. .lacger A: Son h;id an excellent 

 Easter business. "We sold everything 

 out aiicl had to stay u|) all of one night 

 and jijirt of another, to keeji up with the 

 demand," s.aid F. ('. Jaeger, .Ir. This 

 firm is now laying its jdans for a big 

 Mothers' day display. 



The Suzanne Floral Co. liad two small 

 Wfildinjis to add to its busy Faster trade. 

 Its l.'ist lian(juet was at Tait's cafe, for 

 l.'."i(i giH'sts. The decorations weie all in 

 roses. 



The Cjilifoi iii;i Floral Co. has been Ijusy 

 with funeral orders. A pall recently made 

 was of Ojihelia roses and lilac. 



Charles C. Navlet's dahlia bulbs are 

 just coming in. The cold earlier in the 

 year caused them to be late and the 

 firm is now busy filling previous orders. 

 Potted bougainvilleas are coming iu 

 from the nurseries, and make a fine 

 display in the store. It was formerly 

 believed that this ornamental climbing 

 jdaiit would only grow in the south, but 

 it is now found that it can Ite cultivated 

 successfully in northern California, if 

 placed in a sunny spot.
