PACIFIC COAST NOTES. 



W. W. Perkins is interested in the 

 cultivation of roses on a large scale, 

 having a large tract of land in Orange 

 county, California, devoted to that 

 purpose. He is connected with the ex- 

 tensive business of Jackson & Perkins 

 Co., located at Newark, N. Y. Last 

 year' he shipped to this company five 

 carloads of young rose bushes from his 

 Orange county nursery. He is now 

 considering northern California as a 

 site for business in roses, being very 

 tavorably impressed with Stanislaus 

 county, near the town of Modesta, and 

 the indications are that he will pur- 

 chase land in this county and start 

 his nursery in the near future. 

 ' It seems that John McLaren, super- 

 intendent of Golden Gate Park, has 

 come into disfavor with the Mayor 

 Schmitz administration, owing to his 

 alleged political activity in the recent 

 campaign, and the daily press is say- 

 ing that Herbert Schmitz, brother of 

 Mayor Schmitz, who was elected last 

 month on the Union Labor ticket, is 

 to succeed Superintendent McLaren. 



The Governor of California has re- 

 ceived a letter from Elwood Mead of 

 the United States Department of 

 Agriculture to the effect that the Asso- 

 ciation of Agricultural Colleges and 

 Experiment Stations will hold their 

 next meeting next July in Berkeley, 

 California, the site of the University 

 of California. This also insures the 

 meeting of the Association of Farmers' 

 Institutes and of the Association of 

 University Presidents. 



The government reservations of San 

 Francisco harbor are to be beautified 

 by transplanting trees, plants and 

 shrubbery from the stocks in the nur- 

 series at the Presideo. This is the or- 

 der the military authorities here have 

 received from the War Department, 

 the initial appropriation accompanying 

 the order being $1000. 



Commencing with the February 

 number. Suburban Life, of Boston, will 

 be printed by the J. Horace McFarland

 cupy the post of associate editor of
