' ^ 



THe Market. 



Business Conditions 'are about the same 

 as last reported. Stock is becoming more 

 plentiful, especially the bulbous varieties, 

 and there is therefore a slight declinfe in 

 prices. Daffodils are in bloom in the 

 yards; they are rather short, but serve 

 the purpose for table work. Tulips and 

 hyacinths are the principal potted plants 

 and move well. 



Carnations are in greater volume, but 

 are not a surplus. Callas and Easter 

 lilies are about the same. The last few 

 weeks of sunny, spring weather have 

 started outside planting quite extensively, 

 therefore the nurserymen are experienc- 

 ing an unusually busy season. 



St. Patrick's day created a demand, 

 confined principally to green carnations 

 and' potted shamrocks, and appropriate 

 window displays were noticeable on all 

 sides. 



Various Notes. 



The Heilig Flower Shop is the latest. 

 It was recently opened by K. L. Scott 

 in the Heilig theater building, and al- 

 though somewhat small, it is quite unique 

 in appearance and caters to the best class 

 of trade. J. A. Davis is in charge.

The Market. 



After several months of hard fight- 

 ing, we have finally been able to get 

 the weather regulated so as to have 

 some sunshine instead of nothing but 

 rain, and we shall probably be able to 

 do some business in consequence. Flow- 

 ers of all kinds have shown a decided 

 tendency to get lower in price and we 

 can look for further reductions soon all 

 along the line. Carnations, which have 

 been held at 3 and 4 cents for the last 

 month and even longer, can now be had 

 for about one-half those figures, and 

 roses are now being offered to the 

 stores at from 50 cents to 75 cents per 

 dozen, which is a reduction in about 

 the same proportion. 



Easter lilies, from present indica- 

 tions, will be in ample supply for some 

 time to come. They cost the retailers 

 from $2 to $4 per dozen, Violets are 

 begging at any price. The street huck- 

 sters have lowered the price to 5 cents 

 a bunch, which is cheaper than they 

 have ever been sold before, even on the 

 sidewalks. Daffodils, except the later 

 blooming varieties, are not so plentiful 

 as they have been and the same can be 

 said of tulips, snowdrops and freesias. 

 Wild flowers of many kinds help to 

 keep up the show and fruit blossoms are 

 now at the top of their season. 



Various Notes. 



The next meeting of the Pacific Coast 

 Horticultural Society will be held in 

 Red Men's hall, on the evening of 

 March 25. This is made necessary be- 

 cause the spring bulb show will take 

 place ' on the regular meeting night, 

 which would be one week later.

 through town on his way home from Se- 

 bastopol, GaJ., where he has extensive 

 nursery interests.
