The Rorists' Review

day, though it will doubtless bring a 

 larger call for carnations, but consid- 

 erable preparation will be made for 

 Memorial day. 



Stock continues plentiful, with prices 

 easy but not abnormally low. Orchids 

 are in greater variety and of better 



?uality. Perhaps the most notable of- 

 ering is peonies, of which a few fine, 

 long-stemmed flowers are appearing. 

 They are moving well, and a large cut 

 of improving quality is expected up 

 to the middle of May. Oladioli and 

 Spanish and German iris steadily in- 

 crease in quantity. Boses are plenti- 

 ful, and the stock in most lines is good, 

 Beauties notably so. The demand for 

 EoUamey and Bichmond is rather 

 slack; Bussell^ Taft, Hadley and Sun- 

 burst are moving well, and Cecile Brun- 

 ner is a large seller. A few buds of 

 the newer single Irish roses are ap- 

 pearing. Sweet peas are in ample sup- 

 ply and carnations are abundant. Of- 

 ferings of Lilium giganteum have been 

 taken up better, valley has been a 

 little scarce, but there will soon be 

 plenty. A decided novelty on the mar- 

 ket is Xerophyllum tenax, or squaw 

 grass, which seldom blooms^ but a good 

 deal of which is coming this year from 

 the mountains north of the bay and is 

 a matter of great curiosity among na- 

 tives as well as eastern visitors. A 

 good deal of spirsea and schizanthus is 

 being cut, and finds a good demand. 

 Some nice rhododendrons are still ap- 

 pearing, but do not receive much at- 

 tention. Many that were brought in 

 for this season failed to bloom, and 

 will be held for another year. Boston 

 ferns find increasing demand. A good 

 deal of white oak and hawthorn sprays 

 are being used. 



Various Notes. 



At the meeting of the ways and 

 means committee of the Pacific Coast 

 Horticultural Society, April 15, the 

 chairmen of the various committees 

 were named to take care of the details 

 of preparation for the S. A. F. conven- 

 tion. They are as follows: Executive, 

 Daniel MacBorie; finance, H. Plath; 

 garden, John McLaren; ladies' enter- 

 tainment, W. A. Hofinghofif; reception, 

 John B. Fotheringham; outing, Angelo 

 J. Bossi; hotel, Frederic Bertrand; 

 sports, V. Podesta; program, A. J. 

 Bossi; publicity, J. W. Gregg. 



J. J. Forward, Jr., president of the 

 board of park commissioners of San 

 Diego, and John Morley, superintendent 

 of parks in that city, visited San Fran- 

 cisco last week. 



Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, is here on 

 one of his frequent visits. He says 

 business in Sacramento has been helped 

 by the city beautiful campaign. 



Pelicano, Bossi & Co. are making a 

 special showing of J. A. Carbone's or- 

 chids, having in their window one Cat- 

 tleya Mossise, filling a 2%-foot tub and 

 measuring about four feet across at 

 the widest part, all in full flower. In 

 the same window are handsome speci- 

 mens of Miltonia vexillaria and Laelio- 

 cattleya Hyeana. 



E. Schwerin, of Schwerin Bros., 

 growers of the Visitacion valley dis- 

 trict, is preparing to make a large ex- 

 hibit next fall of the adiantum which 

 has been called California (erroneously, 

 he believes). He has several large 

 houses filled with this fern, and is pre- 

 paring to propagate more of it. The 

 stock now on hand, he says, has been 

 cut heavily all winter, finding a big 

 demand locally and at outside points,
