been here and his store is always at- 

 tractive. 



Mrs. Helmer reports excellent busi- 

 ness at her store, on Haley street. She 

 has been growing some excellent gar- 

 denias, which find a ready market lo- 

 cally. 



Among the visitors to Santa Barbara 

 last week were Dr. Parker, of Santa 

 Cruz; H. A. Siebrecht, Jr., and J. Groen- 

 erweggen, of Pasadena, and Theodore 

 Payne, of Los Angeles. Mr. Payne has 

 charge of the landscape work on one of 

 the large private estates at Montecito. 



Among the improvements at the 

 beautiful Cowles place, at EucalyptUs 

 Hill, where William Donald holds sway, 

 is a wild garden. A more delightful set- 

 ting for the purpose could hardly be 

 imagined and Mr. Donald is wisely leav- 

 ing the ground conformation exactly as 

 nature has made it, simply removing a 

 lot of surplus rock, which he has used in 

 making roads and drives. 



A. Beverley, of the Mission Oak Nurs- 

 ery, is growing excellent asters in spite 

 of the prolonged scarcity of water. 



The Kentia Nurseries are always at- 

 tractive and the Verhelle brothers arc 

 always on the job. At the city place 

 everything in the way of young stock is 

 in perfect shape and plenty of business 

 is going on. Lack of time prevented a 

 visit to the nurseries, but G. Verhelle 

 says that the kentias never looked bet- 

 ter and big eastern shipments are being 

 made. H. R. Richards,

* The Market. 



Business was considered a little quiet 

 the last two weeks and good stock was 

 somewhat scarce, but fine asters are 

 now arriving in all colors and good 

 gladioli in all colors make up the prin- 

 cipal feature of the market at the pres- 

 ent time. 



There is a large quantity of other 

 outdoor flowers yet to be had, such as 

 larkspur, zinnias, Golden Glow, scabiosa, 

 and many others too numerous to men- 

 tion. There are no potted plants to be 

 had just now. Forns arc scarce and 

 there appears to bo a good demand for 

 them. 



Various Notes. 



The growers' committee of the Port- 

 land Floral Society met last week and 

 reports an interesting meeting. The 

 ambition of the committee is to get the 

 growers together and standardize stock 

 and prices and possibly select a con- 

 venient storage room where the differ- 

 ent growers can bring in their goods 

 and dispose of them to the florists with- 

 out the necessity of peddling around 

 from store to store. This, they argue, 

 would save much time and would also 

 give the retailers a better selection to 

 choose from. 



Bert Clarke, with tlie exception of a 

 lame wrist, has recovered from his auto- 

 mobile accident, which occurred about 

 two weeks ago. 



W. H. Beeston, one of the pioneer flo- 

 rists of Portland, after an absence of 

 about twenty-five years in Tacoma and 

 points in British Columbia, is back try- 

 ing to find Portland where it used to be, 

 but he says it's of no use — he feels like 

 a cat in a strange garret. Everything 

 lias changed so much that he can hardly 

 find any of the old landmarks.
