crops seem to be coming along. The 

 carnation crop was not large last week, 

 and some doubt seemed to exist as to 

 whether there would be a sufficient 

 quantity of carnations in the market to 

 take care of the Memorial day trade. 

 There were still some irises from late 

 planting and a good many fine peonies 

 are in evidence, thougli this year's crop 

 is not so large as was expected. Mar- 

 guerites began to arrive. Their lateness 

 was due to the unusual amount of frost 

 experienced last winter, which froze the 

 plants and curtailed the supply. Large 

 quantities of fine sweet peas are seen 

 in the market, as well as g\'psophilas, 

 gillyflowers, pansies, delphiniums, mari- 

 golds, poppies, mignonette, cornflowers, 

 sweet Williams, and a liost of other sum- 

 mer flowers. Large crops of strawflow- 

 ers are now being cut, some for drying 

 purposes and some for immediate sale. 

 Oladioli are not yet in their full season 

 and baby gladioli are almost at a 

 premium. There is plenty of valley and 

 gardenias are no longer scarce. 



Various Notes. 



San Francisco and Oakland are pre- 

 ]iaring to "Say It with Flowers" to the 

 visiting Shriners June 12 to lo. In Oak- 

 land, work on the great Shriner emblem 

 of flowers in the city hall plaza is pro- 

 gressing rapidly under the direction of 

 Howard Gikkey. city landscape en- 

 gineer. Fifty thousand flowering plants 

 are being set out. Outside the Ferry 

 building, San Francisco, the Shriner em- 

 blem in flowers is being jilanted under 

 the supervision of Donald McLaren, of 

 the MacRorie-McLaren Co. David Lich- 

 tenstein, the Terminal Florist, is urging 

 the bo.'trd of liarbor commissioners to 

 retain this conspicuous s])ot as a per- 

 manent flower garden. The oil service 

 stations in the lity and on the high- 

 ways are having gardens planted with 

 Shriner emblems in flowers, to welcome 

 the delegates, and Park Superintendent 

 McLaren is liaving floral emblems put 

 in Oolden Gate park.

 S])eaking of this year's peony crop, 

 J. A. Axell said: "I have taken up 

 the question of the peony crop with va- 

 rious growers, and they state that 

 peonies can be grown at less expense in 

 the east than here. In the first place, 

 in the east they can grow peonies on 

 land that does not cost one-tenth as 

 much as land in the west. In the east, 

 the ground freezes in the fall and the 

 peonies do not require any attention 

 because they are frozen for at least six
