ham Bulb Co., of Santa Cruz, and my 

 apologies are due and hereby tendered 

 to both gentlemen. 



Creutz & Co. are handling elegant 

 Spencer sweet peas in all the best col- 

 ors and will be strong on these and 

 carnations for Decoration day. 



Rose shows were held at Pasadena 

 May 4 and at San Diego May 3 and 4, 

 the former at the Board of Trade rooms, 

 the latter at Mission Cliff park. 



A. Knopf, of the Eedondo Floral Co., 

 had a number of orders from the Los 

 Angeles high school for decorations. 



S. Murata has been showing some 

 fine blue Japanese irises, long-stemmed 

 and bright in color. 



Many tons of cedar and other mate- 

 rial for wreathing are being handled by 

 Tassano Bros., and their big floor space 

 on Hill street looks like a forest these 

 days. 



Funeral work and decorations form 

 the bulk of the work with Frank Lich- 

 tenberg and these keep all busy. Mrs. 

 Lichtenberg is now ensconced in the 

 new office, and the new basket room at 

 the rear of the store gives plenty of 

 room for display. Mr. Lichtenberg is 

 an artist in store decoration and his 

 efforts along this line for Shriners' 

 week are certainly successful. 



Among the offerings at the Los An 

 geles Flower Market this week I noted 

 some fine outdoor Easter lilies, grown 

 by Hubert Morton at the Signal Hill 

 place. Tulips and other bulb stock are 

 still in good shape here. 



The lYeeman-Lewis Co. had a pretty 

 home wedding this week, using Chat- 

 enay roses and large quantities of 

 valley. 



A. F. Borden is still making records. 

 "The biggest April I ever had," he 

 says, and he knows, too, for he has an 

 exact account of every penny taken in 

 since he started business. 



Good funeral work and plenty of it 

 is the standby at Morris Goldenson's. 



The H. N. Gage Co. has big orders on 

 hand for the Fiesta and plenty of stock 

 to fill them. Fine flowers are arriving 

 all the time from the firm's Hollywood 

 and Long Beach ranches, and at the lat- 

 ter place the picking of Asparagus 

 plumosus and Sprengeri seed is now in 

 full swing. This firm is now supplying 

 new crop seed in any amounts. 



The Elks' float now being prepared 

 at the Bos^rie is 9rx30 feet and in the 

 form of a chariot, to which an elk is 

 harsessed. The wheels are clocks, and 

 seven female figures will be on the car. 

 Lavender and white sweet peas and 

 white carnations are the principal flow- 

 ers used. 



Dieterich & Turner are still busj 

 shipping plants to all sections of the 

 west, from Seattle to San Diego. The 

 3-inch rose stock here is in grand shape. 

 Among the many interesting things now 

 flowering in the big lath house are 

 Moorea iridifolia and Solandra guttata, 

 or Copa d'Or. H. R. Richards. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



We have had several much needed 

 showers during the last week, which 

 seem to have put the buying public in 

 somewhat better humor than they have 

 been since Easter, Funeral trade has 

 been good and everything first-class in 

 light colored stock has been used. The 

 avalanche of carnations and roses that 

 we have had to face for the last few 

 weeks is not so noticeable as it has

been and will get even less in a short 

 time. Outside grown tulips are past 

 their prime and only the latest bloom- 

 ing sorts are seen. Violets and freesias 

 are over. Valley and lilies move well. 

 Some forced gladioli are shown. Span- 

 ish iris is on the wane. It did not sell 

 as well as it did last season, and the 

 same might be said of several other 

 hardy bulbs. Outside stock of half a 

 dozen different kinds is commencing to 

 be a factor in the business.

Various Notes. 



H. Kempf, of the Pacific Nursery, 

 will shortly be compelled to move his 

 stock from the old location, as the site 

 is to be used as a part of the exposition 

 grounds.

 trade in San Diego, but more recently 

 foreman for the H, -Jll. Sanborn Co., al 

 Oakland, has returned from a two
