The gardenia cut needs no espe- 
cial mention. The San Francisco 
area gardenias have made a national 
reputation for themselves over the 
past few years, and in the past year 
this has been strengthened. The cut 
will average high. The orchids will 
be standard in every respect and 
he Bay area promises gradually to 
become an orchid center even more 
important than it is now. 
The acacia is still good. There 
are a number of protected spots 
which do not come on with the ma- 
jor part of the crop, and from these 
is coming the present cut. It is 
‘ood, but rains at times reduce the 
grade to some extent and also re- 
duce the quantity. Soon there will 
be nomore. There is a fair amount

here and there, and soon there 
should be a nice cut of them on the 
markets. Anemones and ranunculus 
are not far behind the gerbs, and 
as there are more plantings of them 
there will be a better supply. Corn- 
flowers help swell the list of de- 
sirables just now and are in good 
shape. Rains ruined what seemed 
to be a good cut of daisies. How- 
ever, there are lots more buds on 
the plants and the setback will be 
only temporary. 
The iris crop is excellent. Mostly 
blues, but a few of the yellow make 
parts of the Bay area look like a 
little bit of Holland, for with them 
are some tulips, a very few hya- 
cinths and a lot of yellow and white 
narcissus. Were it not that labor 
is a limiting factor, several growers 
have said they would like to in- 
crease their bulb plantings, the cli- 
mate and soil being so well adapted. 
This year Lent should not have 
such a definite effect on flower uses. 
With wartime conditions, social af- 
fairs of the kind that used large - 
quantities of flowers are already cur- 
tailed. 
During the _ post- Syaienine and 
pre-Easter lull in the markets, grow- 
ers are very busy getting ready for 
spring. Late rains and labor short- 
ages have already delayed some of 
this work but the growers are catch- 
ing up fast now. Wholesalers are 
laying in supplies needed for pack- 
aging the cut flowers, and making
