The Florists^ Review

the soil and showery weather have 

 helped materially to this end. 



At the trial grounds of the Germain 

 Seed & Plant Co. the pansies continue 

 to be a great attraction to people pass- 

 ing along the Whittier road. Mr. Con- 

 ner's tests of vegetables have also 

 proved of great interest and value, 

 showing what careful selections of 

 high-grade varieties will do. Quality, 

 the true test of cheapness, is the order 

 of the day in the selections sent out by 

 this old-established firm. 



The store windows of Wolf skills' & 

 Morris Goldenson were among the 

 greatest attractions in town this week. 



Darling's Flower Shop is full of fine 

 stock for Easter and Manager Walter 

 Garbett has been fortunate in securing 

 a large store between Fifth and Sixth 

 streets, on Broadway, as an overflow 

 store. This is filled with choice offer- 

 ings in Easter lilies and other plants. 



Staiger & Mundwiler report an ex- 

 cellent demand for Easter stock of all 

 kinds and also for vegetable plants in 

 variety. G. Prechtel has returned 

 from Oregon and is now with Mr. 

 Staiger at the home place, on Twenty- 

 second street. 



The H. N. Gage Co. has choice offer- 

 ings in bulbous stock from the Monte- 

 bello grounds, where L. Gage is now in 

 full charge. H. N. Gage says prospects 

 for East^ are fine. 



James Russell, until recently in 

 charge <of the Gage nursery at Monte- 

 bello, has bought land and gone into 

 business for himself. 



The April meeting of the Los 

 Angeles Horticultural Society was 

 fairly well attended. The matter of 

 supplying speakers for schools was 

 gone into and such able men as J. 

 Reeves, P. D. Barnhart and others were 

 asked to serve in this capacity. Secre- 

 tary Kruckeberg made a strong point 

 of the fact that the society should be 

 sought by the schools rather than that 

 the opposite condition should exist, a 

 sentiment that met with general ap- 

 proval. An arrangement was made for 

 all the members who could be got 

 together to visit the Pasadena show on 

 the nigttt ot April 10.

The Market. 



This letter is written in the height of 

 the Easter rush. The stores are well 

 arranged, with a fine lot of stock. 

 There are quantities of cut flowers and 

 an excellent showing of both potted 

 and cut lilies. Rambler roses are good. 

 The Pink Pearl rhododendron is the 

 most attractive plant presented, and 

 it is a wonderfully fine seller; in 

 fact there has never been anything 

 placed on the San Francisco market 

 that has so quickly won the public 

 favor. Rhododendron Gatawbiense and 

 a few of the other leading varieties also 

 make an excellent showing and sell 

 well. 



We are short of spiraeas this year, 

 and there are few azaleas of merit. 

 Those that we have arc poorly flow- 

 ered and not the most desirable varie- 

 ties. Primulas, as usual at Easter, are 

 one of the drawing cards. They make 

 up nicely in basket work and we see 

 more large primula basket arrange- 

 ments than in other yea^s. We have 

 some genistas, but could use more. 



Of the multiflorum lilies there are 

 few compared with the number of
