SANTA CRUZ, CAL. 



has 



The florist trade in Sant 

 been good the last month. 



Mr. T. Thompson, the carnation ex- 

 pert", had more orders for Christmas 

 week than he could fill. 



Mr. T. Thrift, an old, all-around 

 gardener, has returned from a six months' 

 trip through Oregon and Washington. 



The weather this winter has been so 

 mild that dahlias, not taken up. have 

 started to grow again, thinking it was 

 spring. But this morning gave them a 

 lesson. The thermometer was at 27, 

 which is the coldest for three years, and 

 everybody was pleased with the bright, 

 clear, frosty morning. I had some fuch- 

 sias in flower outside that did not seem 

 to mind 5 degiees of frost. Callas looked 

 bad for an hour or two, but the foliage 

 came out all right, though the flowers 

 were spoiled. Paper white narcisstis 

 are past their best. Double Romans are 

 at their best. Camp'ernellus, jonquils, 

 and Trumpet daffodils in the open field, 

 are showing the first flowers.

PRUNING MARECHAL NIEL. 



I would like to knew how to j.rune 

 Marechal Niel. 1 have twelve big plants 

 about fifteen feet high ( in my rose 

 house), but they bloom very sparingly. 



SoUTHKlt.NEK. " 



Allow the wood to ripen thoroughly 

 before pruning. Cut out any surplus 

 wood so as to admit air and light. The 

 plants or branches in general should not 

 be cut back much, say not over one- 

 third of their length. M. Staucii.

Madison, Wis. — Victor Wayman re-

 cially in flowering plants.
