venially liked and such a splendid man 

 in every way that the deepest regret 

 is felt by everyone at the sad news, 

 and, of course, everyone is hoping that 

 his injuries are not so serious as re- 

 ported* 



J. M. Grant, forester for Orange 

 county, is making good progress at the 

 county nursery at Santa Ana. Although 

 he started only about six months ago, 

 Mr. Grant has now about 50,000 young 

 trees of various kinds ready for lining 

 out, and he hopes the coming year to 

 plant up about fifty miles of the county 

 roads with various trees. Automobile 

 trucks, water trucks and other equip- 

 ment, including an automobile for the 

 use of the forester and his men, are 

 all either in hand or ordered, and the 

 outlook for Orange oounty from a for- 

 estry point of view is decidedly good.

TACOMA, WASH. 



The Market. 



With a period of cold weather, which 

 materially shortened the cut of all 

 kinds of flowers, and a decided increase 

 in the demand, things are better bal- 

 anced than they were a few weeks ago, 

 the trade at this time being nlore nor- 

 mal than at any time this season. 



Carnations are selling better than at 

 any time this fall. Mums are about 

 gone; some blooms of Western King 

 and Chadwick are still seen. Violets 

 are arriving from the south in better 

 condition and are of good quality. 



Roses are none too plentiful. The 

 (earliest lilies have made their appear- 

 ance at the stores. Paper Whites and 

 Romans are about equal to the demand. 



The stores are taking on their holi- 

 day appearance, much of the prepared 

 stock being shown. The greenhouses 

 are preparing for the Christmas rush. 

 Some of the more optimistic declare 

 there will be big business for that day. 



Various Notes. 



This week saw some good funeral 

 work for the downtown stores. The 

 California Florist had some unusually 

 large pieces, which called for large 

 quantities of stock. 



R. D. Van Slyke, of Van Slyke & 

 Seamons, has gone into the rabbit 

 business and expects to take most of 

 the prizes at the shows this season.

The Market. 



As usually happens between Thanks 

 giving and Christmas, business is a lit- 

 tle dull, possibly more so this year than 

 for some years past. The lull allows 

 time for energetic florists to prepare 

 their Christmas bjtekets and decora- 

 tions, but even these do not seem to be 

 prepared so lavishly this year as for 

 the last few seasons. The department 

 stores are now extending themselves in 

 this direction, to the detriment of 

 prices. The supply of flowers, except 

 carnations, is plentiful. Of carnations 

 there are none too many and they are 

 now selling at such prices as always 

 should be maintained. A lot of the 

 flowers coming in are not standing up 

 and for the best quality of carnations 

 there is a strong demand. Bulbous 

 stock is fairly plentiful. Some yellow 

 narcissi are already being offered. 

 Romans and Paper Whites are abundant.
