SAN FRANCISCO NOTES. 



Frank P. Shibeley, a veteran florist 

 of San Francisco, received a splendid 

 floral order this week from a florist in 

 Lowell, .Mass., for quick shipment to 

 the City of Mexico, the stock being 

 largely violets and roses. Mr. Shibe- 

 ley, who successfully conducted a 

 down-town floral depot for many years, 

 has recently removed his store a mile 

 westward, to the corner of Polk and 

 Sutter streets. 



The news of the opening of an im- 

 proved foreign market comes as a wel- 

 come surprise to ranchers of the Santa 

 Clara valley. Last year was better 

 than others, yet many of the growers 

 and packers about San Jose and neigh- 

 boring towns, the center of the prune 

 district of California, complained be- 

 cause of their inability to market their 

 goods at a fair profit. So gloomy was 

 the situation that some of the growers 

 cut down their prune orchards in de- 

 spair of ever getting reasonable re- 

 turns for the time and money invested. 

 It is probable that the outlook for this 

 year will save many orchards that 

 would otherwise have been sentenced 

 to the ax. 



The nursery business of the season 

 has closed at Fresno, Cal., with a 

 record unequaled in the last twenty 

 years. The local yards are absolutely 

 sold out of peaches, and estimates of 

 the new acreage planted in this dis- 

 trict alone exceed 7000. The demand 

 for Muscat grapes has been very large, 

 notwithstanding the unsettled con- 

 dition of the raisin situation, and more 

 than 3000 acres of new vines have been 

 set out. Apricots and citrus stock are 

 also favorites, and, in fact, every 

 variety of fruit tree has been sold as 

 never before, except prunes. Prices 

 are reminiscent of old boom days. 

 Peach trees have sold at an average of 

 $225 a thousand, as against $140 last 

 year, and sales are on record of the 

 unprecedented price of $350 for the 

 Muir variety. Los Angeles and Sacra- 

 mento counties bought all the pear 

 trees. Large shipments of deciduous 

 fruit stock of all varieties have been 

 made to Mexico, South America, South 

 Africa and Australia. The local re- 

 sult will be a great increase in the 

 output of fruit in two or three years. 



FIRE RECORD. 



A fire which started around the 

 boiler did about a thousand dollars' 

 damage to the greenhouses of W. F. 

 Spry of Manchester. Mass. 



The four-story seed and agricultural 

 warehouse of W. W. Rawson & Co., 

 12-13 Faneuil Hall square, Boston, 

 was completely destroyed by fire on 

 the morning of March 23. Loss on 

 building and contents $100,000. In- 

 surance $25,000.
