PACIFIC COAST. 



SAN FRANOSOO. 



The Market 



Lent is here in full force and the 

 results are noticeable in our line of busi- 

 ness. The demand for colored stock is 

 limited, although there has been no ap- 

 preciable oversupply of light colored 

 carnations or roses. Enchantress, Pros- 

 perity and all the fancy light colored 

 flowers offered have been sold quickly 

 enough, and the same can be said of 

 Brides and Maids. Beauties are few and 

 far between in San Francisco at present. 

 It looks as though the growers were all 

 out of season at this time with their 

 supplies. Bulbous stock is scarcer, al- 

 though we still have a fair stock of late 

 flowering narcissi and quite a few tulips 

 are seen. Valley is plentiful and moves 

 slowly. Violets are to be had in any 

 quantity and the price remains the same. 



Wild maidenhair is coming into town 

 in large quantities, much to the relief 

 of the retailers, who have had much dif- 

 ficulty in getting enough adiantum re- 

 cently. 



Business is about as good as can be 

 expected at this time and there is a fair 

 supply of funeral orders enjoyed by the 

 retailers. Over in Oakland business is 

 well up to the handle and no complaints 

 have been received recently on that score. 



The plant trade is now at its height 

 and florists who handle these as well as 

 cut flowers are very busy. 



Various Notes. 



W. H. Mann, the Pinole florist, is in 

 town. He reports everything booming 

 in his locality. 



Hutchings & James will make a spe- 

 cialty of poinsettias for the coming sea- 

 son. They are splendidly located at 

 Elmhurst to handle the wholesale trade. 



Frank Shibeley and Alexander Mann 

 have opened in good shape at 1203 Sut- 

 ter street. They will carry a full line of 

 florists' supplies. 



Domoto Bros, will be in line with three 

 houses of Easter lilies. Their stock looks 

 well at present. 



J. L. Dorris will take a trip to Los 

 Angeles and the southern portion of the 

 state in a few days. He expects to be 

 absent a month. 



Arnold Eingier, representing W. W. 

 Barnard Co., of Chicago, is in town.

PLANT TRADE AT FBISCO. 



The effect on trade in the line of 

 small plants in San Francisco has not 

 been as bad by our late catastrophe as 

 was predicted by many people. The plant 

 line at present is fully as good as it has 

 ever been. There is a good demand for 

 stock and prices are better than for 

 many years. The retail dealers are hav- 

 ing a harvest, as it is doubtful if there 

 was ever a season on this coast where 

 there was so much stock moving. This

is not especially noticeable in any one 

 line, but the infection apparently has 

 struck almost everything. There are so 

 few really good nurseries on the coast, 

 and such demands are being made on 

 them, that they will have little to do 

 business with after the season is over. 



Even heavy ornamental stock, such as 

 sidewalk trees, hardy palms, cedars and 

 material that usually takes many years 

 to become salable, has been well cleaned 

 out and it will be several seasons, even 

 under the best of circumstances, before 

 the young stock again will be large 

 enough to make a showing. 



The facilities for importing stock from 

 the east are so inadequate and the time 

 of arrival so uncertain at present that 

 many of our largest growers have bought 

 sparingly in the east and Europe. This 

 also has a tendency to make growing 

 stock scarce and as there is no imme- 

 diate relief in sight, the effect is bad 

 for heavy planting of imported stock. 



Another feature is that large tracts of 

 land in the vicinity of our cities, form- 

 erly devoted to the nursery business, 

 have been cleared off and cut up into 

 town lots. This has been the fate of 

 several large places in the neighborhood 

 of San Francisco this year and the

chances are that several others will fol- 

 low suit in the near future. 



I have not referred to the cut flower 

 growers in this article, confining myself 

 rather to the plant growers and nurserj- 

 men. From indications, however, it is 

 perfectly safe to predict that they will 

 also have prosperous times and that th© 

 idea of overproduction is ridiculous. 

 There is more demand for good stock 

 than ever in this locality and there is 

 no danger of too much good stock. G. 



The Beview is everything one could 

 desire. One would think it could not 

 possibly be improved, still it does seem 

 better every year. — Taos. Waqstait,
