ing, it is impossible to overestimate the 

 value of a good lath house. I have 

 visited many of our largest growers and 

 during the summer and fall you will 

 find they have to give more attention to 

 the watering of their hardy outside stock 

 than anything else. As water often 

 comes high here, this is quite an item. 

 It is possible to keep plants in much 

 ijetter salable condition and at the same 

 time use not over one-fourth of the 

 amount of water and not over one-fourth 

 of the amount of time required in the 

 watering, if such stock is protected in 

 a lath house in the spring, summer and 

 fall. G.

George Gibbs has three acres planted 

 with bulbs, including many varieties, and 

 is meeting with great success in his en- 

 deavors to put American bulb growing 

 on a commercial basis. He is doing es- 

 pecially well with Lilium candidum and 

 has 45,000 coming on. The weather 

 here is far different from in the east. 

 Boses, daisies and mignonette were in 

 bloom in the garden on Christmas day. 

 Crocus bloomed in late February and in 

 early March the hyacinths and narcissi 

 began. Mr. Gibbs says all "Washington 

 grown bulbs flower from two to three 

 weeks earlier than bulbs from Holland. 

 The weather is now ideal, about 70 de- 

 grees in the day and 'not below 40 or 

 35 degrees at night.

The hot weather of the past ten days 

 has brought an unusual cut of every- 

 thing and this, as well as the fact that 

 we are now in Lent, has had rather a 

 demoralizing effect on business in gen- 

 eral. Funeral trade has been the ex- 

 ception and a goodly number of retailers 

 have had their hands full. Violets are 

 daily, becoming scarcer and in another 

 week they will be practically through 

 blooming. There are some good double 

 Marie Louise and Swanley White in 

 town but they do not cut much figure in 

 business. Carnations and roses have 

 dropped fully twenty-five per cent in 

 price daring the past ten days and we 

 can look for an avalanche very soon. 

 Daffodils are getting scarcer but Nar- 

 cissus poeticus is very plentiful. Freesias 

 are gone, likewise tulips and hyacinths. 

 Smilax is scarce and in good demand. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Wollenberg is now located on 

 Sutter street, near Polk. 



T. Duffy, on Golden Gate avenue, one 

 of San Francisco's oldest florists, is 

 making considerable improvement on his 

 premises. 



■Podesta & Baldocchi deserve consider- 

 able praise for thejr artisticjwindowjdis:, 

 ^ pTay8"in~^fFe"Sutter street store. The 

 quality of flowers and decorative plants 

 carried is second to none in town. 



A visit to Sutro Heights shows elabo- 

 rate preparations are being made for 

 the replanting of the spring and summer 

 flowering annuals which make this place 

 one of the sights of San Francisco. J. 

 T. Murphy is head gardener, a position 

 he has held for many years. 



J. T. Nivens, formerly manager of the 

 Thermal Vale Nurseries, Oakland, is now 

 engaged in landscape gardening m 

 Berkeley.

The Eealty Syndicate, of Oakland, is 

 engaged in growing many thousands of 

 voung forest and ornamental trees at 

 their nurseries in Piedmont for planting 

 on their various tracts of land which 

 they are improving with the intention of 

 selling at some future time. J. T. Fur- 

 tado has charge of this branch of their 

 business. 



N. Rolleri has given up the store he 

 recently purchased from Howard Pren- 

 tice, on Washington street, Oakland, and 

 will devote his time to the wholesale 

 business. 



A visiijtojthe greenbouses^-ef-Er-ia^ 

 cazette, at Fruitvale, shows an abund- 

 ance of good healthy stock being cut at 

 present. Mr. Lacazette will replant his 

 carnation houses to roses for the coming 

 season and will give up carnation grow- 

 ing entirely. He is cutting large quan- 

 tities of Emperor daffodils the past two 

 weeks. ^•
