The Weekly Florists' Review*

showed three huge spikes of Lilium 

 Humboldtii, with about forty flowers 

 each. 



The show was well attended and 

 proved a financial success. 



Vimous Notes. 



A. J. Woodward is away on a pleasure 

 trip to the old country. 



Carnations are now being benched. 

 Some have finished the operation. 



The new greenhouses of King Co. con- 

 struction, at Fairview, are the admiration 

 of all. 



Wollaston & Wallace have a grand 

 harvest of bulbs. The fact of their be- 

 ing able to make deliveries in August is 

 a strong feature in this market. 



No rain since April 9, except three 

 small showers, and a great shortage in 

 the city water supply, is not conducive 

 to good gardens, and Victoria is not 

 looking her best this season.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Business continues quiet, with some 

 signs of awakening in the near future. 

 There was quite a spurt of funeral work 

 the first part of the week, but even 

 trade in that line has dropped amaz- 

 ingly. There is no excess of inside 

 stock of any kind. Fancy carnations are 

 scarce and are eagerly bought up by 

 the stores. All kinds of whites are in 

 demand, as there has not been enough to 

 fill the retailers' orders for several 

 weeks. Lawson and Estelle are begin- 

 ning to show the effects of thrips for the 

 first time this season, but the new crop 

 will soon be in season and there will be 

 but little trouble. 



Roses, especially whites, are very 

 scarce and those that are shown are of 

 poor quality. Quite a lot of Maids and 

 Testout are being brought into town, but 

 they are of inferior quality and do not 

 net much for the growers. We have seen 

 no good Beauties for many weeks and 

 from appearances of the stock it will be 

 quite a while before they will amount to 

 much. Asters are a glut and the qual- 

 ity of them is good. The prices are low 

 and they hardly pay the growers to han- 

 dle them. A few early mums have ap- 

 peared. Sweet peas are getting very short 

 of stem and are of little use, except in 

 funeral work. Gladioli and dahlias are 

 a drug and there is almost no demand 

 for any kind of outside stock. 



Valley and Japanese lilies are plenti- 

 ful. The former moves slowly, while 

 the lilies are in better demand and fairly 

 well bought up. They net the growers 

 from $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen stems. 



Variottt Notes. 



Domoto & Co. have just completed a 

 rose house 30x200 feet at their Elnihurst 

 nurseries. 



T. W. Marshall, of Fresno, is in town. 

 He has been making an automobile tour 

 through the central portion of the state. 



James O'Neill has disposed of the 

 majority of his nursery stock at Hay- 

 wards to the California Nursery Co., at 

 Niles, and will retire from active busi- 

 ness. 



H. Gresens, of Alameda, has sold his 

 Park street store and will take a trip 

 to Germany in a few weeks. 



W. W. Saunders is at Healdsburg on 

 a moss-collecting trip. He will be gone 

 from town for several weeks. He re-
