stock and bud together were really two 

 years old. Even with the extra trouble 

 of budding the stock, however, they 

 were far ahead of anything grown on 

 their own roots for the same length of 

 time. Not only for garden planting, 

 but also for greenhouse forcing, are 

 these roses in great demand, for the 

 rule holds good for inside as well as 

 outside, that to have big flowers and 

 long stems you must have plants in pro- 

 portion. 



It was urged for many years, and 

 justly so, that roses budded on wild 

 stock were not desirable because of their 

 suckering proclivities, but we have 

 learned that wild stock can be disbud- 

 ded, — 'that is, all the eyes taken out 

 before it is planted except, of course, 

 u couple on top, under which the variety 

 wanted is inserted. This removed the 

 greatest objection to budded stock and 

 when, by further experimenting, we dis- 

 covered what particular sorts grew es- 

 pecially well on certain wild stocks the 

 [)lant8 then filled all requirements. 



With some roses, however, it is profit- 

 able to grow them on their own roots, 

 because they are easy to root, but with 

 the majority of the tea roses it is not 

 jwssible to root more than thirty per 

 cent of the cuttings planted and of 

 these usually one-half are too small the 

 first season to sell for first-class stock. 

 Many of our best varieties make poor, 

 weak roots and there is nothing that 

 will make as poor an impression on a 

 buyer as to see big tops and poor roots. 



With budded stock there is no diflS- 

 culty in averaging seventy-five per cent 

 .salable stock from the cuttings planted 

 of wild stock, afterwards budded, and 

 good roots can be always guaranteed. 

 Some of the climbing roses make very 

 fair plants on their own roots the first 

 season but there are many of our best 

 sorts that cannot be rooted at all. We 

 grow Marechal Niel, Cloth of Gold and

The Market 



AVe are having considerable rainy 

 weather, which was preceded by several 

 severe frosts. We had, in fact, the cold- 

 est weather of the season during the lat- 

 ter part of last week. Heliotropes, gera- 

 niums, callas, etc., had been blooming 

 constantly outdoors all winter but 

 all oudoor flowers except violets and 

 bulbous stock are now out of busi- 

 ness. This makes cheap flowers very 

 scarce, especially in the line of white 

 stock, and it will be several months 

 before we shall have much to choose 

 from. Roses and carnations are only 

 in fair supply at present and the 

 prices hold firm. A few late blooming 

 narcissi are still in market and daffodils 

 are plentiful. The supply of violets 

 shortened somewhat early in the week 

 but they are now very plentiful again. 

 Freesia and valley are in good supply. 



Yellow acacia is being used in large 

 quantities for decorating, as it is the 

 only cheap flower to be had at this time. 

 Smilax and maidenhair are both very 

 scarce. A few good longiflorums are 

 seen. They cost the retailers from $1.50 

 to $2 per dozen. 



Various Notes. 



The engagement of Fred Sculberger, 

 of Oakland, to Miss MacDonald, also of 

 that city, is announced. The wedding 

 will take place in the early summer. 



Leopold & Ephraim have had a very 

 busy season. Several big decorations 

 have added considerable to their mouth's 

 receipts. 



A. Mann, Jr., is devoting considerable 

 of his time to the florists' supply por- 

 tion of his business. He carries a large 

 stock. 



P. J. Meyer, of Burlingame, is cutting 

 some extra good Prosperity and En- 

 chantress carnations at present. G. 



Aurora, III. — The Aurora Green- 

 house Co. has been awarded the con- 

 tract for ornamental planting at the 

 street railway's new pleasure park at 

 Plainfield. Large quantities of bedding 

 plants will be required.
