The weather has turned mild again 

 and we are getting a taste of spring 

 somewhat in advance of the scheduled 

 time, Eain is not up to the required 

 quantity, and unless we have a down- 

 pour soon, the season of 191 1-1912 will 

 do down in iiistory as a "dry year.'' 

 While tliis docs not affect the retailers 

 as directly as it does those more in- 

 terested in the jdant trade, it gives a 

 general feeling of danger to everyone 

 that is daily midenccd in dei-reascd 

 sales along all lines. 



Flowers are becoming cheaper and of 

 slightly better quality as the time pro- 

 gresses, and. with the influx of con- 

 siderable lots of outside bulbous stock, 

 it will be but a short while until the 

 store windows assume their springtime 

 appearance. Eoses show the largest 

 gain in quality and quantity, and we 

 can look for plenty of fancy cuts from 

 this time onward for several months. 

 Carnations, although slightly higher 

 than they were one year ago, are also 

 showing a tendency to drop in price. 

 X'alley has been well used up for sev- 

 eral weeks, and the same can be said 

 of all l<inds of white stock. Funeral 

 orders have been brisk at most of

the stores, and these, together with a 

 fair number of wedding decorations, 

 have brought the first weeks of the new 

 year up to the standard. Mums are 

 practically over and we shall see no 

 more of them until next fall. Violets 

 are in their prime and are used in 

 enormous quantities by all the stores 

 as well as by the street vendors. 



other lines of stock show no material 

 change except a general tendency to 

 larger quantities and a downward 

 tendency in price. 



Various Notes. 



Tuu new stores have made their 

 appearance in town. The Schwartz- 

 wald Co. has opened on Devisadero 

 street near Page street, and the Violet 

 Floral Co. has started in the retail 

 trade on Devisadero street near the 

 corner of Mc.-Mlister street. 



The Pacific Orchid Co., of Alameda, 

 is cutting heavily of cattleyas at this 

 time. This company will erect two 

 new houses, each 25x75 feet, during 

 the coming spring.
