Capitola, Cal. — Word comes from 

 .Tames A. BroA'n, of Brown's Bulb 

 Raneh, that he has acquired an auto- 

 mobile in the east and, with his family, 

 is driving it home. When last heard from 

 they were at Indianapolis and expected 

 to reach home about June 10. Mr. 

 Brown 's trip was for business. Orders 

 for freesia and gladiolus bulbs for deliv- 

 ery after harvest are said to be the 

 largest on record. 



WHAT HAVE YOU? 



The Coronado Nursery, San Diego, 

 Cal., ^ent The Review an advertisement 

 of everlasting flowers to occupy four 

 inches across two columns, with instruc- 

 tions to print it three times. June 1, 

 after the paper carrying the second in- 

 sertion had been out only three days, 

 the advertiser telegraphed: 



Canoel the order for the third insertion, as we 

 are well cleaned out. — Coronado Nurser.v. San 

 Diego, Cal. 



There are many Pacific Coast con- 

 cerns which are just beginning to ap- 

 preciate that The Review can be of 

 great use to them. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



The supply of stock for the Memorial 

 day business was ample and a big busi- 

 ness was done by all the retailers, while 

 the wholesalers all report the biggest 

 day in their history. Shipping orders 

 came early and continued until the last 

 minute, everyone being on the jump. 

 Carnations were of fair quality and the 

 best shipping stock was snapped up 

 quickly every day. Roses were poor, 

 but a fine lot of gladioli helped out. 

 Staticc and other "everlastings" were 

 sold in greater quantities than ever be- 

 fore. 



Various Notes. 



Albert Beverley, of Mission Oak 

 Nursery, Santa Barbara, has been in 

 the city this week looking up stock. - 



Among other funeral work this week, 

 D. S. Purdie & Co. had a fine blanket of 

 sweet peas and orchids. Mr. Purdie is 

 greatly improved. in health. 



At the store of S. Murata & Co. every- 

 body was busy during the week pre- 

 ceding Memorial day. Large stocks 

 ■v<^ere moved and a satisfactory business 

 was reported. 



Mrs. Taylor, wife of James Taylor, 

 superintendent of Laughlin park, pre- 

 sented her husband with a nine-pound 

 girl May 29. 



The L. A. Floral Co. reports the big- 

 gest Memorial day business in the his- 

 tory of the firm. H. R. Richards. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



The market conditions were all that 



could have been desired, good business 

 and abundance of stock. Decoration 

 day has not been so good for years. 

 There were plenty of flowers for every- 

 one and the trade was able to take care 

 of customers in good shape this year. 

 A great many outside flowers are com- 

 ing in now and, owing to the recent 

 rains, most of them are at their best. 



Various Notes. 



Clarke Bros, have been showing some 

 fine water lijies grown by Mr. Broetche. 



Lalane's Flower Shop has a quantity 

 of pretty pink lupine which will meet 

 with a ready sale. 



■The stores are showing some fine Col- 

 villei gladioli of the Peach Blossom and 

 Blushing Bride varieties. The flowers 

 are coming from home-grown bulbs, 

 which apparently are superior to the 

 Holland-grown stock flowered in pre- 

 vious seasons. 



John Gower, of Newberg, supplied the 

 local stores with a quantity of fine peo- 

 nies, Spanish iris and pyrethrum.
