CALIFORNIA NOTES. 



The first strawberries for the season 

 arrived in San Francisco March 7 from 

 Los Angeles — a crate of 30 double 

 handful baskets of large, well-formed 

 berries that sold at 35 and 40 cents. 



The California Promotion Commit- 

 tee, an offshoot from the State Board 

 of Trade, has proved of valuable serv- 

 ice to the commonwealth during the 

 past six years of its existance. It is 

 sustained by all the big industrial 

 houses and wealthy men of the state 

 by annual subscriptions, payable in 

 monthly installments, and the growers' 

 and florists' contribution amounts to 

 several hundred dollars per annum. 

 Just now this state committee has the 

 Balboan Exposition in hand. This is 

 a World's Fair scheme, planned to 

 take place in celebration of the dis- 

 covery of the Pacific ocean by Balboa 

 and also the opening of the Panama 

 canal. The date fixed for the opening 

 of the exposition in San Francisco is 

 1913. and the managers in charge an' 

 anxious that all correspondents of 

 trade papers assist the enterprise with 

 notices. Last week Congressman 

 Kahn introduced a bill in Congress to 

 appropriate for the exposition $5,000,- 

 000 conditionally upon the raising of a 

 like amount by California. 



FIRE RECORD. 

 A fire at the Charles Cummings' 

 place, Woburn, Mass., on the morning 

 of March 9, did serious damage to ti" 

 glass in the 10 greenhouses adjacent to 

 the barn, in which the fire started. 

 The loss is reported to be $10,000; 

 partially insured. 



A building used for the storage of 

 moulds, garden vases and boxes, at 

 the factory of the A. H. Hews Pottery 

 Company. North Cambridge. Mass.. 

 was completely destroyed on the after- 

 noon of March 10. Fifty tons of hay 

 were included in the loss, which was 

 estimated at $8000. The fire is believed 

 to have been of incendiary origin. 



Green's Nursery Co., Rochester. N. 

 Y., lost nearly $10,000 by a fire on 

 March S, which originated in the base- 

 ment ami spread through the building 

 with such rapidity that little could be 

 saved. The orders of the firm for the 

 spring and summer trade were com- 

 pletely destroyed. The building was 

 insured and it is said it will be re- 

 built.
