Mention The Review when you write- 



partial pruning back which I have ad- 

 vised for September 1 is merely to en- 

 courage the bud to make an effort to 

 grow. As a matter of fact, the holly has 

 no absolutely dormant season in this lo- 

 cality, but it approaches nearest to it 

 after the berries are at their plumpest 

 and brightest condition, in the middle of 

 winter. 



It is surprising how quickly budded 



Slants grow into well berried shrubs, and 

 ow unsatisfactory, on the other hand, 

 it is to wait for blooms on big, strong 

 growing seedlings, which, were they full 

 of berries, wonld be worth a small for- 

 tune. G. 



SAN FRANCISCO. . 



The Market 



Another week of beautiful, warm 

 weather, with such an avalanche of 

 flowers as has seldom been seen in San 

 Francisco. For the first time this season, 

 there is an abundance of all fancy stock. 

 Eoses, which have threatened all spring 

 to remain in short supply, can now be 

 had in any quantity desired and at the 

 lowest of prices. Carnations, usually sold 

 by the dozen, are now offered at low 

 prices by the box. This will last but a 

 couple of weeks, however, and then there 

 will be a cessation of the excess. Valley 

 moves well, considering the vast quantity 

 of stock on hand, and the same can be 

 said of Easter lilies. Tulips have not 

 been in such demand for the last ten 

 days as they were previously, and they 

 are showing signs that they are near the 

 encl of the season. 



Freesias, daffodils and Dutch hyacinths 

 are completely gone for the season. A 

 few violets are shown, but they are poor 

 in color and weak in stem, and the re- 

 tailers dislike to handle them. Orchids 

 are in fair supply, with a fair demand. 



Outside stock is beginning to be a 

 fa.otor that will have to be reckoned with. 

 Already sweet peas have been reduced 

 to 75 cents per dozen bunches, and the 

 quality is much improved. Gaillardia, 

 coreopsis and gypsophila are being used 

 in great quantities by the street huck- 

 sters, while wil.l flowers are getting to 

 oe less in evidence as the weather be- 

 comes warmer and the groun.i drier. We 

 have had no rain since February, and 

 everything in this neighborhood has as- 

 sumed a rather dusty aspect. When we 

 ■consider that in all nrobabilitv we will

have no rain before ne.xt winter, it em- 

 phasizes the fact that we will have to do 

 a (leal of artificial watering before we 

 have much natural assistance in that line. 

 Business continues to be quiet in a 

 general way, although funeral orders 

 have been rather plentiful for several 

 weeks. The fact that flowers are so 

 cheap and plentiful is greatly to the ad- 

 vantage of the retailers who make a 

 specialty of funeral work, as good profits 

 can always be made at this season of the 

 year on funeral designs.
