SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Writing just at Easter, it is too early 

 to give an exact summary of events, 

 but things are shaping themselves so 

 that we can form a fair idea of busi- 

 ness conditions. It is evident that 

 there will be no surplus of Easter lilies, 

 but there will probably be plenty of 

 potted lilies. The prices on cut stems 

 have advanced about fifty per cent 

 during the last week. Usually these 

 flowers cost the retailers from $2.50 to 

 $4, according to quality, but this season 

 finds the advance I have mentioned, 

 owing to shortage of stock. Other 

 lines of flowering plants are about as 

 usual. Azaleas are not overplentiful, 

 but there seem to be enough to fill 

 orders. Cyclamens, hyacinths, spiraeas, 

 genistas, cinerarias and Primula ob- 

 conica are in abundant supply at the 

 usual prices. Carnations are still in 

 heavy quantity and roses are even 

 more plentiful, although the prices are 

 being held up by the growers. We can 

 look for a beautiful slump, however, in 

 a few days. 



Violets are practically over for the 

 season and bulbous stock is rapidly fol- 

 lowing suit. With the exception of 

 late flowered tulips, there is little to 

 see along these lines. Other kinds of 

 outside stock are getting daily more 

 plentiful and sweet peas are cheap.

Mankato, Kan. — A. J. Kramer, of the 

 Kramer Greenhouses, reports that he 

 was favored recently by a pleasant call 

 from C. Humfeld, of Clay Center, Kan. 

 This vicinity was suffering from lack 

 of rain until April 10, when the needed 

 showers fell. 



Springfield, Mass. — A. L. Gilbert, the 

 successful landscape gardener and flo- 

 rist on Homer street, inherited his 

 trade from his father, who was con- 

 nected with the botanical gardens at 

 Kew, England. Mr. Gilbert has had a 

 sample greenhouse here for fourteen 

 years and also has 6,000 feet of glass 

 at Sixteen Acres.
