be good, from what reports are in the 

 air. Easter lilies will be in good quan- 

 tity, from all appearances, and the 

 growers are not apparently making any 

 effort to raise the prices to a great 

 extent. 



Various Notes. 



I). M. Ferry, Jr., and wife, with a 

 party of friends from Detroit, Mich., 

 are in town in the course of their tour 

 of Pacific coast points of interest. 



E. Wagner, of San Lorenzo, is cutting 

 thousands of early daffodils. He has 

 a larger acreage of the later varieties, 

 however, and will be in shape to cut 

 from now until the middle of May. 



The San Francisco Call and the Oak- 

 land Tribune and Enquirer each issued 

 a special seed and plant edition Feb- 

 ruary 11, which were well patronized 

 by the local florists, seedsmen and 

 nurserymen. 



The Pacific Coast Horticultural So- 

 ciety had an outdoor meeting on the 

 Crocker grounds, near San Mateo, Feb- 

 ruary 11. About 100 people enjoyed 

 the many floral treats at this celebrated 

 place. 



John Melmanu, of Portland, Ore., is 

 in town on a short visit. G.

The Market. 



Valentine's day helped considerably 

 in the sale of all kinds of cut flowers 

 aud pot plants. Since then the sale has 

 not fallen off much, and, though there 

 is a surplus of some kinds of flowers, 

 a better demand is now looked for. 

 Carnations ^re still rather too plentiful 

 for good prices. All colors, except red, 

 which have been scarce, are in heavy 

 supply. Home-grown violets are sell- 

 ing well, the mild season helping the 

 trop, and they are competing well with 

 the California stock, which is shipped 

 in here in large quantities. Narcissi, 

 tulips and hyacinths are here in plenti- 

 ful supply and are cheaper than usual 

 ;it this time of year. Koses are now 

 fairly plentiful, but there is no great 

 >Hle for them. Orchids are to be seen 

 111 most of the stores now; a few years 

 ngo an orchid was seldom seen in a 

 s^tore in this town. Azaleas are now 

 the favorite pot plant and fine speci- 

 "lens are bringing what mediocre plants 

 ^ere sold for last year. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held its usual 

 monthly meeting in the Chamber of 

 Commerce building, February 13. There 

 was not so large an attendance as usual. 

 *5ome of the members had some funeral 

 Work in hand and possibly the inclem- 

 ent night may have accounted for 

 the absence of a few, though it was 

 noticeable that the members present 

 Were ones who had much farther to 

 come than would those who were ab-

sent. It is almost essential to the suc- 

 cess of an organization such as this 

 that the members attend the meetings 

 as regularly as possible. 



Five new members were admitted. 



The particular business before the 

 meeting was the appointment of com- 

 mittees and discussion on the forth- 

 coming rose show. It was decided to 

 invite the Tacoma Florists' Club to 

 visit at next regular meeting, on the 

 second Tuesday in March. As there 

 are several matters that require atten- 

 tion, a special meeting is to be called 

 for February 27, when it is hoped all 

 members will be present.

Florists' Club played them a couple of 

 games and sent them home cheerful, 

 but *'flat busted." 



A. B. Mathieson wishes to announce 

 that the firm of Mathieson & Johnson 

 no longer exists, the business now being 

 entirely in the hands of Mr. Mathieson. 



The weather in this vicinity is re- 

 markably mild. There has been hardly 

 a touch of frost since the first week 

 of the year. Greenhouse men have rea- 

 son to be thankful in these hard times 

 for the smallness of their coal bills. 



After the club meeting, a friendly 

 game was bowled at the Bismarck al- 

 leys, the novices, as usual, beating the 

 champions. T. W.
