exceptionally good. The quality of the 

 Oesneriana tulips here is especially fine. 



J. W. Wolters has been carrying out 

 a series of decorations at the California 

 Club that has kept the force busy. Mr. 

 Wolters has been suffering from a bad 

 siege of lumbago. 



C. E. Morton is a busy man these 

 days, moving off the immense shipments 

 of bulb stock arriving from his growers. 

 The tulips coming from the Wilmington 

 ranch have the genuine Brazee stamp. 



Tassano Bros, have opened a whole- 

 sale store at Lick place, San Francisco. 



Morris Goldenson may now be seen 

 around town in his big Oakland car, 

 which he purchased recently.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



San Francisco was treated the last 

 week to several showers of rain, which 

 went a long way toward putting every- 

 one in good humor. Flowers of all 

 kinds are plentiful again. Even Easter 

 lilies are more in evidence than they 

 were two weeks ago. Roses are now 

 well advanced on the spring crop and 

 the quality is good throughout. Carna- 

 tions lowered somewhat in price in the 

 last week and moved well. Outside 

 bulbous stock is scarcer. Narcissi are 

 practically over, with the exception of 

 the late blooming yellow daffodils. 

 Freesias and early tulips have given 

 way to late flowering Gesnerianas, and 

 although these do not seem to sell as 

 well as they did one year ago there is 

 no stock thrown out. The growers did 

 not plant as heavily of this sort this 

 season as they did in former years. Val- 

 ley moves well. Spanish iris and a few 

 other hardy bulbs help. to keep up the 

 show. Violets are good, but they are 

 nearing the end of their season. Other 

 lines of stock do not show any particu- 

 lar change, with the possible exception 

 of sweet peas, and they are cheaper and 

 better. Business is not brisk, but an 

 improvement may be looked for at any 

 time. 



Various Notes. 



James Rolleri, of the California Ever- 

 green Co., has returned from a short 

 trip to Los Angeles and vicinity. 



The florists of the bay cities have 

 subscribed over $500 for the relief of 

 the Ohio sufferers in the recent floods. 



The Flower Lovers ' show, given under 

 the auspices of the California State 

 Floral Society, was a big success in at- 

 tendance and in quality of exhibits. 

 The flowers and plants shown were prin- 

 cipally from private gardens in and 

 around San Francisco. E. James, of 

 Elmhurst, had the finest showing of 

 potted ferns. 



There is a movement on foot to pre- 

 vent the street hucksters of flowers and 

 other poods from using the sidewalks 

 for their displays. The measure, which 

 is favored by all the stores, has been 

 attempted before without success. G. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



A considerable number of weddings 

 and entertainments this week and some 

 large funerals have kept the florists 

 busy. A quantity of the lilies that 

 were late for Easter have come in 

 handy for this work. Stock is plentiful 

 ''•and carnations are more abundant thtfn
