flower so easily and require so little at- 

 tention, that they are always found in 

 some out-of-the-way patch or in some 

 neglected field. They are used in enor- 

 mous quantities during their season, but 

 the price for them has been so low 

 that no one pretended to grow them for 

 profit. About the same can be said 

 of daffodils and jonquils. A few very 

 early sorts are lorced, but ordinarily 

 they hardly pay for the handling, the 

 country being flooded with them during 

 their season. 



Easter lilies paid very well for the 

 last season to all growers who had them 

 for Easter, which was just before our 

 big fire. Those who were unfortunate 

 enough to be a week or two late lost 

 considerable money; this may be all 

 changed, however, in another season. 



Valley is usually a good paying crop, 

 and although this fact has not been the 

 rule for the last few months, under 

 other conditions it is quite remunerative. 

 1 have met several growers who will 

 plant valley extensively, as well as 

 Lilium Harrisii and Lilium longiflorum, 

 but of the other lines of bulbs I have 

 mentioned there will be but few plant- 

 ings made. 



For garden planting, should there be 

 much demand, there will be bu. little 

 stock here. It is claimed by our largest 

 dealers, however, that the noticeable 

 falling oflf in the demand for the flow- 

 ers is equalled by the limited demand for 

 garden bulbs, especially noticeable last 

 season. G. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market 



There are at present fifty per cent 

 more stores in proportion to tne popu- 

 lation of San Francisco than formerly, 

 but already signs of improvement can 

 be noticed in the trade. For the first 

 few weeks there was absolutely nothing 

 doing except funeral orders, but recently 

 there has been quite a demand for 

 colored stock of all kinds. This has the 

 appearance of more healthful times and 

 it is possible thnt there will be con- 

 siderable basiness done here in the near 

 future. 



Stock of all kinds with the possible 

 exception of fancy roses is plenti- 

 ful, and the prices are even lower than 

 those recorded last month. There is a 

 slight exception also in fancy carna- 

 tions, some of which net the growers 

 $2 per hundred. 



Peas are very plentiful, but owing to 

 the fact that the demand has been

liaiited, the growers have not given them 

 much moisture and the stems are short. 

 The ruling price for the last month has 

 been 50 cents per dozen bunches. 



Asj)aragus and maidenhair are in fair 

 demand, also all other kinds of hardy 

 greens. The orchid growers have suf- 

 fered more in proportion than any of 

 the other dealers, but it is to be hoped 

 that a demand will soon be created for 

 their stock. 



In Oakland there is little change in 

 affairs. Business continues to be quiet, 

 but is a little better than it was last 

 year at the same time.
