SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Many florists report business some- 

 what better since Easter than during 

 the previous month, though there is no 

 unusual activity. Last week brought 

 a fair amount of funeral work, and 

 decorations for exposition events, con- 

 ventions, etc., used considerable quan- 

 tities of cut stock and plants. Cut 

 flowers in general are in excessive sup- 

 ply, with low prices for many items, 

 though several lines of spring flowers 

 are cleaning up. Lilacs, which were in 

 great abundance a few days ago, are 

 nearly gone. While there are still 

 plenty of tulips, the cut will be off 

 soon. Violets of even passable quality 

 are scarce, and few are being shipped. 

 A few late daffodils, some nice Narcissus 

 poeticus and freesias are appearing, 

 but this week will about finish them. 

 The market for lilies is flat, with a large 

 cut and no demand except for funeral 

 work. Eoses receive more attention, 

 with a large cut of good stock. Beau- 

 ties are fine and cheap; some say it 

 hardly pays to grow them at the prices 

 lately prevailing. A good supply of 

 Spanish and German iris cleans up read- 

 ily, and ixias are doing well. There 

 seems to be plenty of sweet peas, with 

 prices not above normal, but the cut 

 is said to be light for this time of year, 

 some growers having lost heavily from 

 disease. The supply of gladioli shows 

 some increase. The cut of cattleyas 

 has been all the market could absorb; 

 some retailers are featuring them at low 

 prices, though as a rule values are well 

 maintained. Marigolds, mignonette, 

 daisies, etc., find considerable use in 

 basket work. 



Horticultural Society Meeting. 



The April meeting of the Pacific Coast 

 Horticultural Society was held April 10. 

 Apletter was read from George A. Deni- 

 8on, in charge of the department of 

 horticulture at the exposition, express- 

 ing high appreciation of the work done 

 by those who had charge of the spring 

 flower show. President Plath an- 

 nounced that efforts were being made to 

 get up a large fall flower show, and that 

 the exposition authorities had intimated 

 that some help might be expected from 

 them, but no definite details were given. 

 W. A. Hofinghoff reported on plans for 

 the entertainment of the ladies of the 

 S. A. F. at the con^^tion. In regard 

 to the convention f»rdens, H. Plath 

 said that Park Superintendent John Mc- 

 Laren had prepared the ground well, 

 and the space, which is the best that 

 could be had in San Francisco, is ready 

 to receive exhibits from the east. A 

 good many, he said, have already ap- 

 plied for space. To give the gardens 

 a proper setting, new shrubberv has 

 been planted around them, and' addi- 

 tional space will be made available bv 

 the removal of some trees.
