CALIFORNIA NOTES. 



Wholesalers report the demand for 

 California dried fruits was never so 

 large as it is at the present time, and 

 all agree that it is not a question of 

 selling, but of filling orders on hand. 

 There is very little stoclv of any liind 

 to be bought for imme<iiate shipment. 

 Difficulty is not only experienced in. 

 getting goods shipped on account of 

 the great scarcity of cars, but the same 

 cause is delaying the distributing of 

 orders from central shipping points in 

 the East. Altogether the trade is la- 

 boring under greater difficulties than 

 it has ever experienced at this time 

 of the year. 



Botanical experts at the University 

 of California are engaged in classify- • 

 ing and cataloging the Brandegee col- 

 lection, the grand botanical gift re- 

 cently noted in HORTICULTURE. 

 This herbarium gift places in posses- 

 sion of the university the most com- 

 plete collection of Pacific Coast flora 

 now extant. Already several men 

 from other institutions have signified 

 their intention of visiting the collec- 

 tion, because of the splendid equipment 

 now in posEei-.<-ion of the university. 

 Every precaution will be taken to pro- 

 tect this gift from fire and other dan- 

 ger. Until such time as a permanent 

 botanical building is provided it will 

 be housed in the Hearst Mining Build- 

 ing, which is nearing completion on 

 the university campus, and which is 

 fireproof. Here it will be combined 

 with the present university herbarium. 

 which already contains about 125,0ur> 

 sheets of specimens. The united col- 

 lections will comprise nearly 250,000 

 specimens, the majority of which are. 

 mounted in permanent form.
