 Mention The Review when yog write. 



the quality is excellent and the prices 

 have advanced a little. Fancy stock 

 costs the retailers from 60 cents to 75 

 cents per dozen and ordinary varieties at 

 about half that price. AVith roses there 

 is much the same condition. Beauties 

 are in fair supply and the best quality 

 sells at $4 to $6 per dozen. Brides and 

 Maids at from 50 cents to $1 per dozen 

 are in good supply. 



Narcissi are backward on account of 

 the lack of moisture and they wholesale 

 at $1.50 per hundred. Valley are much 

 easier than they have been up to date 

 and the wholesale price is $4 per hun- 

 dred. 



Advices from the south tell of a 

 shortage of the outdoor crop of poin- 

 settias, caused by the cold snap of last 



month. There is some indoor stock in 

 town at from $6 to $9 per dozen. Out- 

 door mums hold on well and the prices 

 have been raised greatly by the growers. 

 From 75 cents to $1.50 per dozen is 

 asked for flowers of fair quality. Inside 

 mums are practically over for the season, 

 only a few Mrs. Jerome Jones and Bon- 

 naffons being in evidence. 



Variotn Notes. 



J. B. Pilkington, of Portland, Ore., 

 has disposed of a carload of bay trees 

 to the local dealers. 



The price of evergreen wreaths has 

 been advanced from $10 to $14 per hun- 

 dred by the green goods men. A claim 

 is made that owing to the scarcity of 

 workmen extra prices had to be paid for 

 labor.

Mention Th e Review when you write. 



Two Japanese establishments have 

 been opened in Oakland during the last 

 week. 



There are at present thirty-five stores 

 in San Francisco as against seventy-five 

 before the fire. At the rate they are 

 increasing we will have our full quota in 

 another season. 



Ferrari Bros, are cutting some extra 

 good Beauties at present. Podesta & 

 Baldocchi, J. H. Sievers & Co. and 

 Pelicano & Co. handle most of their 

 stock. 



H. Plath, of Ocean View, reports a 

 heavy demand for cut adiantum sprays. 

 Mr. Plath has built up a large shipping 

 trade since the April fire and finds his 

 present stock unequal to the orders 

 received. 



Henry Morris has purchased two acres 

 of land beyond Elmhurst and will pre- 

 pare himself to actively enter the whole- 

 sale business next season. G. 



Buffalo, N. Y. — William Scott has 

 been appointed chairman of the com- 

 mittee on flowers and bedding plants of 

 the Western New York Horticultural 

 Society. This is all the more a compli- 

 ment as Mr. Scott was not a member of 

 the society at the time of his appoint- 

 ment.
