 Business last week was unusually 

 good, due, perhaps, to the visit of our 

 esteemed ex-president, Mr. Eoosevelt. 



Various Notes. 

 The Floricultural Society met in its 

 new club room in the Chamber of Com- 

 merce building April 6. After a gen- 

 eral business meeting it was unani- 

 mously voted to hold a rose show in 

 Tacoma about June 20. A committee 

 of five, Messrs. Olson, Halkier, Sea- 

 mons, Benthein and Smith, was ap- 

 pointed to make arrangements. Mr. 

 Eoberts has been asked to lecture on 

 roses at the next regular meeting.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Everything in town is satisfactory 

 with the exception of retail trade, but 

 the less said about that the better. 

 There is such a superabundance of all 

 kinds of stock that prices have been 

 thrown to the winds and the growers 

 take about what they are lucky enough 

 to get and say nothing. There is a 

 decrease in bulbous stock, however, and 

 daffodils, early tulips and narcissi 

 are not quite as much in evidence as 

 they have been. Gesnerianas and other 

 late kinds of tulips move fairly well, 

 but at low prices. Irises in several 

 shades, as well as peonies, help to keep 

 up the showing, together with a world 

 of fruit blossoms, lilac and native wild 

 flowers and greens. From all accounts, 

 there will be a great quantity of stock 

 for Easter and prices, in consequence, 

 are liable to be lower than they were 

 a year ago. 



The Spring Flower Show. 



The spring bulb show, given under 

 the auspices of the California State 

 Floral Society and the Pacific Coast 

 Horticultural Society, from March 30 

 to April 2, was one of the most success- 

 ful ever given here, both from a finan- 

 cial and artistic standpoint. The gen- 

 eral public took a tremendous interest, 

 as the heavy attendance showed, and 

 practically all the growers in San Fran- 

 cisco and vicinity aided, both by their 

 exhibits and attendance. The weather 

 was all that could be desired and every- 

 thing was just right. The display of 

 seasonable flowers was the finest ever 

 shown in San Francisco, and too much 

 credit can not be given to those who 

 had the affair in charge. Although it 

 was too early for much of an assort- 

 ment of outside stock, with the excep- 

 tion of bulbs, these, with a large va- 

 riety of greenhouse flowers and flower- 

 ing plants, filled the large hall at the 

 Fairmount hotel. 



The MacRorie-McLaren Co. had a 

 large and dazzling array of potted aza- 

 leas, wistarias, palms and evergreens
