 TOi K::«|aicu lqii^suii thu seaaon we are snre will prove to 

 be the very best varieRated sort. Pure ivory white with delicate car- 

 mine penciliuKB. Mr. W. N. Craig, an authority on everytblnK oertain- 

 inK to horticulture, says that he knows that this variety will out-bloom 

 the favorite, Mrs. M. A. Patten, three to one. It has the Lawson habit 

 and stem, and is bound to give sattsfaotion. $12 per 100; $100 per 1000.

 s iaii«<%^^ nlficent flowers, strictly fancy in every respect. $12.00 

 per lOO; $100.00 per 1000. 



Whitfk I A«A/6nfi ^c consider this variety, which we introduced 

 TViiiLC Lawsuii i,gt season, the most profitable white carna- 

 tion ever seat out. We think it will outbloom any other white two to 

 one. It bas given great satisfaction. When the flowers are left on the 

 plants until fully developed they are much larger than Mrs. Thos. W. 

 Lawson. We believe this will occupy among white carnations the 

 same place that Mrs. Thos. W. Lawson does among pink carnations. 

 Remember that we are headquarters for it. Hplendld stock ready for 

 immediate delivery. $7.00 per 100; 160.00 per lOlO.

The Market 



Business for some unaccountable rea- 

 son is better than I have seen it at this 

 season for a number of years. Trade was 

 really quiet for some weeks before Lent 

 commenced, but since that time it has 

 been really good. Tlie weather has not 

 been so favorable for a big crop of 

 flowers and this fact, together with a 

 rush of funeral work which all the 

 stores have been favored with, has helped 

 to clean up stock and keep everything and 

 everyone on the rush. Roses are of better 

 quality at present than they have been 

 for some time and they are consequently 

 bringing a shade more in price. Carna- 

 tions remain at the same figures I quoted 

 a couple of weeks ago, with a good de- 

 mand. Violets and daffodils are out of 

 season and tulips are past their prime. 

 Harrisii and* longiflorums are getting 

 more plentiful and the prospects are for 

 a big cut at Easter. Valley is in good 

 supply and the demand fully equals it. 



Smilax and good maidenhair fern are 

 not over-plentiful. 



Variotu Notes. 



Superintendent McLaren, of Golden 

 Gate park, estimates that it will take 

 $50,000 for the coming season to prop- 

 erly cover the various parks in the city 

 with loam and fertilizers. He expects 

 to do considerable grading as soon as the 

 weather becomes favorable. 



Culligan & Co., 211 Sutter street, de- 

 serve considerable praise for the hand- 

 some quarters they have recently fitted 

 up and for the artistic window displays 

 they are giving the public. They are 

 successors to Geo. B. Jones, one of San 

 1* rancisco 's pioneer florists. • 



A visit to St. Mary's cemetery, Oak- 

 land, shows extensive plantings of palms 

 and other decorative trees being made 

 under the direction of Superintendent 

 :<ellv. 



Wm. Barry, E. O. Webb and J. F. 

 Seulberger have been re-appointed hor- 

 ticultural commissioners of Alameda 

 county.

It is said that Luther Burbank's new 

 rhubarb has been purchased by John 

 Lewis Childs. The stock consisted of 

 about 10,000 roots. Mr. Childs recently 

 paid a visit to Mr. Burbank's experimen- 

 tal grounds.
