display at the retail store, at Ninth and 

 Olive streets, was in every respect a 

 magnificent one and practically all the 

 stock was home-grown. There was a 

 constant rush of people during the 

 three days before Easter and an im- 

 mense business was done.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



On the whole, the Easter trade was 

 satisfactory, especially to the retailers, 

 who were rather more cautious than 

 usual in their purchases and had little 

 left over. Some of the growers did 

 not clean out the stock forced for 

 Easter quite as well as they hoped, but 

 on the average they came out well. The 

 rambler roses fulfilled all expectations; 

 even the large pieces, retailing up to 

 $25, were well cleaned out. Good 

 potted lilies were a little scarce toward 

 the last, though the cut stock was not 

 so largely used as in some former 

 seasons. 



This week business has dropped off 

 again and cut flowers of all kinds are 

 plentiful, with prices in general rather 

 easy. There is still a big cut of lilies, 

 which find little demand. Among the 

 most popular items this week are the 

 fine long-stemmed Darwin tulips, which 

 are abundant and cheap, quality con- 

 sidered; also iris, which is becoming 

 rather plentiful, and lilacs, which are 

 arriving in great quantities and mov- 

 ing off likewise. Basket arrangements 

 of ranunculus find a good sale, either 

 alone or in combinations. Some strik- 

 ing displays of peonies are shown. 

 Roses are abundant and good, but move 

 slowly. Some notably fine Beauties 

 are offered. Cecile Brunner is cheaper, 

 with a large crop coming in. Ordi- 

 nary carnations are hard to move, as 

 the supply is somewhat excessive and 

 the demand limited. Sweet peas are 

 steadily becoming more plentiful and 

 do not move readily at present. Spiraea 

 has been coming in for several weeks 

 and is well received. Really first-class 

 gardenias are scarce. Orchids are 

 coming in a little faster, but the supply 

 IS still moderate. A lot . of fruit 

 blossoms are still being used. 



Various Notes. 



Owing to the Easter rush, the 

 monthly meeting of the Pacific Coast 

 horticultural Society, scheduled for 

 April 3, was postponed to April 10. 



ihe Luther Burbank Co. has closed 

 a deal for the purchase of the J. E.
