PACIFIC COAST NOTES. 



The California State Fruit Growers' 

 Association adjourned its convention 

 last Saturday with a resolution declar- 

 ing it to be the sense of the convention 

 that the state farm site, to be decided 

 upon next month, should be located 

 away from near Berkeley and not to 

 be conducted as a laboratory venture 

 in connection with the University of 

 California, but conducted in a manner 

 that will enable the horticultural in- 

 terests of the state to obtain practical 

 benefits. 



I met this week in San Francisco 

 .1. C. Vincent, landscape gardener at 

 the State Asylum in Stockton, Cali- 

 fornia. He enjoys state-wide renown 

 for the beautiful work he has done in 

 his line at Stockton. Before going 

 there Mr. Vincent was for six years 

 in charge of the conservatories in 

 Golden Gate Park, and six years with 

 J. C. Siegfried, the orchid propagator 

 in Alameda, California. 



The California State Floral Society 

 held a meeting this week and heard an 

 interesting talk by Mrs. W. D. O'Brien 

 on her personal experiences and ob- 

 servations in the jungle of the Malay 

 states. Her descriptions were filled 

 with instructive matter of an unusual 

 nature dealing with the people in their 

 primitive ways and speaking of the 

 flora, including the wonderful cocoa- 

 nut groves. "The latitude of that 

 country, lying only a few degrees north 

 of the Equator, produces a constant 

 tangle of growth," she said, "but the 

 gardeners are of superior intelligence 

 keeping verdure controlled and 

 trimmed to a degree of perfect beauty." 

 Country orders being received by 

 San Francisco florists indicate that the 

 shipping trade for Christmas will beat 

 the record, and city orders at hand for 

 this greatest of all holidays are not at 

 all behindhand. 



San .Tose. California, a city of mag- 

 nificent parks and beautiful flowers, 

 voted this week 4 to 1 in favor of a 

 $.5nn,nnn bond issue for the laying out of 

 more parks and improved sanitation.
