The bedding season is over. The de- 

 mand has been unprecedented and there 

 has been a great clean out, much to the 

 gratification of the fraternity. 



Tomatoes are realizing a handsome 

 price, 20 cents per pound. All who have 

 houses of these are well satisfied. A. 

 J. Woodward is growing 30,000 of them. 

 Covent Garden turned in the first lot. 

 They began cutting in March. 



We have had some nice showers and 

 carnations in the field are looking very 

 fine. The effects of the severe frost in 

 March are still making themselves 

 visible. Lilium candidum, which usually 

 is so good here, is all blackening at the 

 bottom and the flower spikes wither and 

 die. Delphiniums are particularly good. 

 I saw some today nine feet high and 

 many bore flowers two to two and one- 

 half inches across. 



We are trying to get park commission- 

 ers appointed instead of leaving our 

 beautiful Beacon Hill to the tender 

 mercies of three aldermen, who are ap- 

 pointed annually, and who usually know 

 as much as the ordinary individual about 

 gardening and landscape work — ^but not 

 always. Our park is wonderfully situ- 

 ated, beautifully planted with oaks and 

 Douglas firs by nature. Under good 

 management it would be one of the 

 loveliest spots on the coast. E. A. W.

Death of Joseph Jacquelin. 



Joseph Jacquelin, the pioneer San Jose

 West San Fernando street. The de- 

 ceased was born April 6, 1838, in 

 Bourges, Chev., France, and in 1852 came 

 around Cape Horn to California. For

ten years he worked in the mines and 

 then came to this city. Establishing a 

 nursery at Delmas and San Fernando 

 streets, he continued in the business of 

 florist for twenty years or more. 



Mr. Jacquelin was one of the best 

 known residents of this city. He was 

 identified with public work and was 

 prominent in fraternal circles. His death 

 was hastened by the shock he received 

 at the time of the San Francisco dis- 

 aster. His daughter's home on North 

 Beach street in San Francisco was de- 

 stroyed by fire and the aged pioneer was 

 brought to this city in a precarious con- 

 dition. 



SANFEANOSGO. 



The Market 



Business in every line is gradually as- 

 suming .a normal condition and the 

 florists will have some additions to their 

 number the coming week. Although the 

 retail trade of the town is still practic- 

 ally centered on a few streets oh the edge 

 of the unburned district, there are quite 

 a number of business blocks in the 

 course of erection down town. It is im- 

 possible at this time to tell where the 

 trade of the town will eventually con- 

 centrate itself, and the dealers who have 

 already leased stores have in most cases 

 made the contract for one year, with the 

 privilege of two years. It is thought

by many that at the expiration of a year 

 it will be easier to tell where the limits 

 of the town will be and locations can be 

 selected accordingly. ^ 



From inquiries among the newly estab- 

 lished retailers regarding the state of 

 trade at the present time, I find that 

 there has been a great falling off in 

 shipping orders, as is natural at this 

 season, when our interior towns are in 

 the throes of warm weather, and there 

 will be little business in the florists' line 

 until the fall season arrives. The weather 

 here in town is delightfully cool; we 

 have not had a warm day this year. This, 

 of course, favors the handling of flowers, 

 both for the growers and retailers. There 

 is little business except funeral orders, so 

 that the demand is principally for white 

 stock. The price of everything is very 

 low and for many kinds of flowers there 

 is no demand whatever. 



Among the growers there is miieh 

 speculation as to what the demand will 

 be for the coming season. There has - 

 been such a vast quantity of stock al- 

 lowed to go to waste that the output will 

 be only a fraction of what it formerly 

 was. This is particularly true of rosea, 

 carnations, lilies and mums. 



Over in Oakland business is only fair 

 and as in town here the demand is prin-
