phiniums, snapdragons, sweet peas, pop- 

 pies, pansies, marigolds and other sum- 

 mer flowers are plentiful. Baby and 

 moss roses are becoming more plentiful. 

 There is no shortage of valley or gar- 

 denias, but orchids are fairly scarce. 

 The crop of carnations is good, but 

 there were not enough of these to fill all 

 shipping orders before Memorial day. 

 The only noticeable shortage May 30 

 seems to have been in forget-me-nots, 

 which were retarded by the cold 

 weather earlier in the year. There are, 

 however, some forget-me-nots in the 

 market. In spite of the fact that there 

 was such a flood of stock, evcrytliing 

 was well cleaned up Memorial day. The 

 San Francisco Cooperative Market sold 

 everything. Many growers are now cut- 

 ting their crops of strawflowers. 



Various Notes. 



K. E. and Mrs. Darbee, accompanied 

 by their son, Andrew, planned to leave 

 for New York, June 6. They expect to 

 sail for Europe on the Olympic, June 24. 



' ' There were more flowers sold Me- 

 morial day this year than probably ever 

 before in the history of the business in 

 this city," declared J. A. Axcll, who 

 added that his firm was cleaned out on 

 May 29. "Stock was cheap and good," 

 added Mr. Axell. "Owing to the fact 

 that Memorial day came on a Tuesday, 

 the retail florists had their orders com- 

 ing in from Saturday on. A good many 

 people went out and decorated their 

 graves on Sunday and Monday, as well 

 us on Tuesday. Of course, many j)eoi)le 

 in this city make a practice of buying 

 their stock from the peddlers at the 

 gates of the cemeteries, but the retail 

 florists had a good share of the trade." 



"Memorial day business was even 

 better than we had expected, both local- 

 ly and for shipping," stated G. \V. Mc- 

 Lellan, of the E. \V. McLellan Co. 

 "There was a greater variety of stock 

 this year, owing to th^e lateness of the 

 season," added Mr. McLellan. 



Fred Bertrand, who is still consider- 

 ing various new enterprises, will devote 

 the next few weeks largely to the 

 Shrincrs, who are arriving for their 

 national convention. He is a Shriner 

 and is working with the local organiza-

 amount of stock as far east as Kansas,

 too great a risk at this season. The

 with orders for Shasta daisies, which 

 were scarce owing to the late season.
