stock. The bulbous flowers are coming 

 in again from the Montebello ranch. 



C. Muller, of the Eoserie, reports 

 good business since opening up at the 

 new location on Third street. All hands 

 are busy rearranging the store. 



Notwithstanding their heavy loss in 

 Boston ferns under lath, Dieterich & 

 Turner have immense numbers under 

 glass, from which they are shipping 

 now. The hardiness of Cocos plumosa 

 is well shown here in the nursery rows, 

 hardly a plant being injured. 



A feature of the recent cold weather 

 not quite expected is the way Aspar- 

 agus scandens deflexus came through. 

 It is apparently hardier than A. juu- 

 mosus or A. Sprengeri. 



S. Murata & Co. report more orders 

 than they could fill during the recent 

 shortage. H. E. Eichards. 



SAN FEANCISOO. 



The Market. 



All of central California has been 

 treated to a heavy downpour and the 

 threatened dry season has been averted, 

 for the present at least. Directly after 

 New Year's and for a space of about 

 a week, severe frosts visited this sec- 

 tion, with the eflFect of making all 

 kinds of blossoms extremely scarce. 

 There is little, however, at this time to 

 be expected from outside growths, with 

 the exception of narcissi and violets, 

 and these shared a hard fate for a 

 few days. With the return of warmer 

 weather, prospects are much better for 

 plenty of flowers. 



Carnations and roses have been held 

 at even higher prices than they were 

 during holiday week and only a limited 

 number can be had. The prospects are 

 for lower prices, however, in a day or 

 two. Valley and Eomans are inferior 

 in quality, but this will be remedied 

 soon. Lilium longiflorum is being 

 brought into town in large quantity 

 and moves well. Other kinds of stock 

 show the closeness of the cutting and 

 the coldness of the season, but there 

 will be plenty in a short time. In 

 green stock there has not been any 

 more than the occasion demanded. 

 Maidenhair ferns, asparagus and smilaz 

 have been closely cut and it will be 

 several weeks before the stock plants 

 will be in good shape again. Business 

 in the funeral line has been heavy, but 

 outside of this there has not been 

 much to mention. Now that the 

 weather has regulated itself to the sat- 

 isfaction of almost everyone, we can 

 look for an early improvement in trade. 



Various Notes. 



The Market street plant dealers re- 

 port a good, steady trade in hardy 

 flowering stock. All are completely 

 sold out of Holland bulbs, which moved 

 this season faster than ever before in 

 the history of the street. 



The Alameda Countv Floral Society 

 will give a spring exhibition in the 

 Chamber of Commerce building, Oak- 

 land, about May 1. 



The San Eafael rose carnival will be 

 held early in May also, according to the 

 present plan. 



A. E. Johnson is in town, with the 

 intention of locating permanently in 

 the neighborhood of San Francisco, Cal. 



The Oakland Flower Market will 

 move from Tenth street to Broadway, 

 near the corner of Ninth street, Oak- 

 land. G.

SEATTLE. 



The Market. 



Business has been mending since last 

 week, but there is still room for im- 

 provement. . Funeral orders, wedding 

 and other decorations used up consid- 

 erable stock, but the orders for small 

 quantities and transient trade have not 

 been good. The weather has militated 

 against good business. So much snow 

 and rain as we have had lately keeps 

 flower buyers off the streets. Carna- 

 tions are becoming rather too plentiful 

 and there is some talk of cutting the 

 price on them, but several growers are 

 contemplating discarding their plants 

 shortly to make room for cucumbers
