Buffalo, N. Y. — 'Tony Wean, who 

 had a bad fire at his greenhouses Octo- 

 ber 24, losing $2,300 on stock, without 

 insurance, now has a good stock worked 

 up again. He sells his product at the 

 Chippewa market and has lately rented 

 larger and better quarters there, which 

 he is busy rebuilding to be in shape for 

 the Easter trade. 



All Your Easter ;°:r it 



have an added charm, an added value, if you use the 



RIGHT RIBBONS on them. 



"Right Ribbons" are special ribbons for florists. They are 



perfect in weave, uniform in quality and of superior lustre. 



The colors match perfectly the Foliages, Carnations, 



Roses, Violets. 



And yet— the prices are less, much less than the usual 



kind, for "you save all between profits" by buying direct 



from the mill.

PACIFIC COAST. 



Ocean Park, Cal. — About fifty per- 

 sons are employed in the local carnation 

 field of twenty acres. 



At HavAvards, Cal., a Ehubarb Grow- 

 ers ' Association has been organized to 

 market the crops from some 700 acres 

 planted to rhubarb. 



Looms, Cal.— A. Hitting has sold a 

 half interest in the California Carna- 

 tion Co. to Harry McGowan. It is the 

 intention to greatly extend and enlarge 

 the business. 



San Fkancisco, Cal. — F. A. Jliller is 

 retiring from the cut flower trade. Last 

 week he sold his Market street store, 

 known well locally as the California 

 Floral Depot, to L. 'Wickstrom, a young 

 man who several years ago was in Mr. 



Miller 's employ. Two veterans in the 

 trade, August Duhem and H. C. Leopold, 

 formerly with the John H. Sievers Com- 

 pany, and later in the San Francisco 

 trade with good success for their own 

 account, have been engaged as Mr. Wick- 

 strom 's principal assistants. 



THE PHOENIX. 



In California certain species of 

 phcenix attain their greatest size and 

 luxuriance. Chief among them is P. 

 canariensis, which all must admit is the 

 ((ueeu nf palms. It is hardy as far 

 north as Oregon and none thinks of 

 growing it as a house palm in the neigh- 

 borhood of San Francisco. It is raised 

 from seed and attains the height of 

 two feet the second year, with several 

 characteristic leaves. When planted in 

 a situation that is sufficiently moist, as 

 this variety Ukes considerable water, it 

 will grow about three feet a season. The 

 trees begin to bear seed at about their 

 eighth or tenth year and after that 

 when the pods drop the young plants 

 will spring out by the hundreds if the 

 surface of the ground is suflSeiently 

 moist. We have in San Francisco speci- 

 men trees of the P. canariensis thirty 

 feet high and about the same distance 

 across the foliage. They do very well 

 ;is pot plants and will endure a great 

 deal of neglect without showing much 

 signs of it on the leaves. The tree com- 

 mences to make a trunk as soon as it 

 bears seed and our grand specimens in 

 California are the wonder and' delight 

 of our eastern visitors. 



I have planted in close proximity to 

 the varietv just described, several trees 

 of P. reciinata. This is, T find, not as 

 hardy or of as fast growth as the other.
