The Market 



We are within ten days of Easter, and 

 signs of considerable trade are in the 

 air. From most of the growers inter- 

 viewed, it is evident that orders from 

 interior points are quite as numerous as 

 there is stock on hand to fill, and as for 

 potted flowering stuff, there certainly will 

 be a shortage. Azaleas are in demand 

 and none of the growers seems to have 

 much of an assortment on hand that will 

 be just right for Easter Sunday. In 

 most cases the blooms will not be profuse 

 enough to make them good sellers. The 

 same can be said about rhododendrons 

 and almost everything else in the flower- 

 ing line. Easter lilies, however, I am in- 

 clined to think will be in sufficient quan- 

 tity to go around, both in potted and in 

 cut stock. 



Carnations and roses are in fair sup- 

 ply, although there is no surplus at this 

 time. Violets are getting scarcer, and 

 in a couple of weeks they will be prac- 

 tically out of the market. Valley is 

 selling better than at any time this sea- 

 son, and all the growers, report heavy 

 orders for Easter. Narcissi of all kinds, 

 with the exception of a few late daffo- 

 dils, are over for the season. Quite a 

 quantity of tulips are being exhibited in 

 the shops and are proving fair sellers. 

 Lilac is scarce, for some unaccountable 

 reason, and there is a good demand for 

 anything in that line that is offered. 



Small pots and pans of flowering stuff,"** 

 such as primulas, cyclamens and cinera- 

 rias, are in good shape, but many more 

 could be sold if the retailers could get 

 them. Freesias are ovdr for another year 

 and they have proven to be among the 

 best sellers handled this season. Fruit 

 blossoms are past their prime and wild 

 flowers fill in nicely. Outside roses, al- 

 though not in abundant supply, are being 

 used to some extent. In another week 

 they will be quite plentiful and the street 

 hucksters will make inroads on the sup- 

 ply. 



Green goods are as usual. Maidenhair 

 fern is more plentiful than it has been 

 at any time this season. Smilaz is scarce 

 and, from appearances^ will be so until 

 long after Easter. 



Variotsa Notes. 



A miscreant hurled a stone through the 

 greenhouse of Peter Thieden, a grower 

 of Emeryville, Cal. The house stands on 

 • a line dividing that town from Oakland, 

 Cal. As the party happened to be stand- 

 ing in the latter town when the mischief 

 Ws done, an Emeryville justice dismissed 

 the ease against him, cfaihiing that the 

 crime was committed by a man outside 

 of his jurisdiction, and an Oakland city 

 justice also claimed want of jurisdiction, 

 on the ground that the crime was not 

 committed within his territory.

 tractor to beautify grounds cannot hold

Asparagus 

 Plumosus Nanus 



Last year, owing to the almost total failure 

 of the Asparagus Plumosus to seed, I was 

 unable to All my orders, but this season I am 

 to the front with about 2,000,000 seed. 



The plants, after a year's rest, blossomed 

 freely and matured a heavy crop of what I 

 believe will be the strongest seed ever sent 

 out of Oalifomia. The Asparagus Plumosus 

 grown here needs no introduction to you, 

 however, as you are already fully acquainted 

 with its merits. You can get seed promptly, 

 as they are being harvested now, and can be 

 delivered upon receipt of your order. 



Seeds will be sold by count, with the usual 

 guarantee as to germination, and I will again 

 sell at my usual low, cash-with-order prices 

 as per following list: 



1,000 seeds... f S.OO 13.000 seeds.. 9*0.00 



6,000 seeds. . . 10.00 25,000 seeds.. 8S.00

I shall be glad to receive your order and 

 know you wiU be pleased with the results.
