Fred Sperry, of the L. A. Floral Co., reports another week of big shipping. The elegant window displays kept up at this wholesale house are an especial feature. After a trip to San Diego and Santa Barbara, F. Lemke, of St. Paul, Minn., ^ho has been here all winter, returned home. H. E. Eichards. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. The market is flooded with daffodils and still the supply increases daily. As a result of the heavy rain during the last week, the stems are longer and the blooms leave nothing to be desired, but the splendid quality cannot maintain prices in the face of the heavy offerings. The finest flowers obtainable may be had for 50 cents per hundred. China lilies and Paper White narcissi, though not so plentiful as daffodils, are in much the same position, being hard to clean up in view of the increased gen- eral supply of flowers. With tulips coming on, ranunculi and anemones beginning to appear and quantities of outdoor freesias expected within a week or ten days, there is no fear of a further shortage of flowers here for some time to come. As far as tulips are concerned, the crop will be light, however, in comparison with the avalanche of previous years, due to the scarcity and high price of the bulbs last year. The limited supply of these flow- ers is well taken now and the same may be said of the initial offerings of anemones and ranunculi. Potted hya- cinths are in good demand. Freesias have dropped to 25 cents per bunch of two dozen. Carnations are in oversupply, only fancy grades bringing more than 75 cents per bunch, while the larger num- ber of the offerings sell for 50 cents. Eoses are still on the short side; conse- quently prices remain flrm. The quality of the arrivals continues good, with a preponderance of high-grade flowers. Eussell and Ophelia are pa
