STOCKTON, CAL. 



The San Joaquin Floral Co., of this 

 city, has opened a new, up-to-date store 

 on Sutter street. This firm also has 

 enlarged its nursery by leasing several 

 adjoining lots. Mr. Star, the manager, 

 has purchased a fine delivery automo- 

 bile and also a car for his private use. 



The San Francisco Floral Co. has 

 opened a store on East Main street. 



F. Mindach, heretofore a gardener in 

 one of the city parks, has been ap- 

 pointed head gardener of the park 

 system. S. & D.

The Market. 



Business has been fair for the last 

 week. Carnations of -good quality are 

 selling well, as there are none too many 

 of these coming in. Some stock of poor 

 quality, however, is hardly salable. The 

 only harm it does is to militate against 

 the price of good flowers. It is about 

 time for some discrimination to be 

 shown in the prices of carnations 

 charged by the growers. At present the 

 prices run the same for good and poor 

 stock. Of course the grower with good 

 flowers can nearly always sell his, while 

 it is sometimes hard to dispose of poor 

 flowers. Roses are fairly plentiful, some 

 first-class local stock selling well. Vio- 

 lets are almost over for the season and 

 bulb stock is getting scarce. 



The sale for bedding plants is brisk. 

 Geraniums are not overplentiful this 

 year and good plants are bringing fair 

 prices. Pansies, daisies, myosotis, etc., 

 are selling for less than in former years.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



We are still having a succession of 

 beautiful April days, with a shower 

 or two thrown in occasionally to give 

 a little variety. Everything is moving 

 nicely, with the exception of business, 

 which is quiet. We expected that there 

 would be quite a stir when Lent was 

 over, but, on the contrary, there is little 

 doing. This is partly to be looked for 

 when there is such a quantity of stock 

 brought into town as we have seen for 

 the last three weeks. 



Roses and carnations seem to have 

 been hit the hardest by the decline in 

 rates. Of the latter it is quite useless 

 to pretend to give prices. Tulips are 

 holding their own again, as the beds 

 are getting on toward the last picking. 

 Valley and lilies are at a standstill. 

 Violets are about over. Sweet peas 

 are cheaper and better. Some Dutch 

 hyacinths are seen. Spanish irises are 

 cheap and good, but move slowly. Out- ] 

 side stock of various kinds is plentiful j
