been a great falling off in the amount 

 of flowers being brought into town, and 

 for a few days, at least, we will have 

 to pay fully twenty per cent more than 

 we did ten days ago. Violets, however, 

 have not shared in the shortage, and as 

 the dark, rainy weather just suits them, 

 they will be more plentiful than ever 

 in a short time. 



Business, especially in the line of 

 funeral work, has been brisk for the 

 last two weeks, and the general scarcity 

 of flowers makes it lively for those who 

 are lucky enough to be able to cut much 

 stock. Bulbous flowers are daily be- 

 coming more in evidence and, with the 

 exception of early tulips, which do not 

 move freely, everything is quickly 

 bought up. A few early fruit blossoms 

 are seen, but it will be several days 

 before we have anything except the 

 Japanese flowering plums. - 



Tame maidenhair fern is quite scarce 

 with the growers at present and is 

 showing the ruthless cutting to which 

 it was subjected last month. In a few 

 days the wild variety will have made 

 its appearance, and then the florists can 

 breathe easier. 



Various Notes. 



J. M. Wiesel, representing the Bar- 

 teldes Seed Co., of Denver, Colo., is in 

 town. 



The California Evergreen Co. has pur- 

 chased five acres of ground in Elmhurst 

 and will plant it to hardy flowering 

 stock, but does not contemplate erect- 

 ing any greenhouses at this place. 



E. Wagner, of San Lorenzo, Cal., is 

 bringing in some of the best of the out- 

 side grown daffodils seen in town this 

 season. 



Miss M. Anderson will open a floral 

 stand in the new Shattuck hotel, recent- 

 ly completed, in Berkeley, Cal. G. 



TBANSPLANTING BULBS. 



Can hyacinths, daffodils or other 

 bulbous plants in flats, be successfully 

 potted, without injury to blossoms? If 

 so, when would be the best time to do 

 it and how? I have read that such 

 treatment is possible, but on inquiry 

 among florists here, they say it will 

 probably stunt their growth. H. H. E. 



Hyacinths, tulips and narcissi can all 

 be successfully transplanted, either 

 when in full flower or just before the 

 buds are fully developed. All you have 

 to do is to take out the bulbs with a 

 good bunch of roots; plant them as 

 closely as you wish in pots or pans; 

 give them a good soaking of water; 

 and, if the work has been carefully 

 done, I guarantee that those pessimists, 

 who say this cannot be successfully 

 done, would never know but that they

had been grown from the start in the 

 said pots and pans. This replanting is 

 much more practiced in Europe than 

 here, especially with tulips. Hundreds 

 of thousands of these latter bulbs are 

 annually sold at Covent Garden Mar- 

 ket, London, all of which have been 

 made up, and they look as well and last 

 as satisfactorily as though they had 

 been grown in the same pots from the 

 start. 



Bulbs forced early and which have 

 become somewhat drawn, more espe- 

 cially narcissi, do not make up so nicely 

 as those which are more stocky. In 

 Europe the growers mix small ferns 

 through the tulip pans, which adds much 

 to their appearance and selling value,
