Mention The Review when you write. 



it is high time for Congress to take ac- 

 tion and pass a new exclusion bill. 



Until within the last few years they 

 had not made any attempt to enter the 

 field of growing flowers, but the success 

 attained by a couple of them has induced 

 others to go into that branch of business 

 and now we have to compete with Jap- 

 anese cheap labor and there is little 

 chance for the white man to live when 

 the Japanese can flourish. As an ex- 

 ample of how they exist I can cite the 

 instance of the town of Alameda, con- 

 taining probably about 14,000 inhabi- 

 tants. It is essentially a residence city 

 and there are many splendid homes 

 there. Ten years ago there were not less 

 than 100 gardeners employed steadily 

 in the various gardens of Alameda and 

 today it would be impossible to find over 

 a dozen. They have been entirely sup- 

 planted by Japs. A short time ago the 

 attention of the health authorities was 

 called to a Japanese boarding house in 

 the town in which forty men were sleep- 

 ing in five small rooms. They were all 

 gardeners and had taken the places of 

 whites who were driven out by cheap la- 

 bor. This is only one instance of many I 

 could relate. 



They pursue the same course in flower 

 growing, live on almost nothing and un- 

 dersell their white neighbors usually 



about thirty to fifty per cent. They are 

 patronized by the smaller stores, many 

 of our better class aealers who can read 

 the signs of the times having nothing to 

 <lo with them. It is a short lived policy 

 for any retailer to patronize them as it 

 is only a question of time until they open 

 retail establishments of their own and 

 if they succeed as well in the store as 

 tliey do in growing flowers, the florists' 

 trade will soon be a thing of the past.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The R^arkct 



Business for a few days after Easter 

 was very flat indeed, but since then there 

 has been a very fair demand for stock of 

 all kinds, although there is no short- 

 age in any line. There has been a steady 

 call for funeral flowers and also con- 

 siderable wedding work. The weather 

 is beautiful and outdoor stock is arriving 

 in goodly quantities. Coreopsis, gail- 

 lardias, bachelor's buttons, and flowers 

 of that nature will help the florists to 

 keep up a big show without too much 

 outlay of money. Roses are a shade off 

 crop at present, although there is no 

 scarcity. Carnations are good, plenti- 

 ful and cheap. Valley is in good supply 

 and demand and nets the growers about 



$3 per hundred. Easter lilies have been 

 of slow sale since Easter and the price, 

 wholesale, is from $1.50 to $2 per dozen. 

 I notice a good many florists got bit 

 by buying too many Easter lilies in pota 

 this year. There was less demand for 

 them than usual and they were in much 

 larger supply, so tha| the dealers, who 

 usually have some trouble to have their 

 orders filled, bought too heavily with the 

 result that a good many dozens are still 

 to be seen around town, decorating the 

 various windows. 



Various Notes. 



F. Ludemann, of the Pacific Nursery, 

 departs this week for a few months ' stay 

 in Europe. He will visit France, Hol- 

 land, England and Germany. 



E. Van Linge, of the Holland Nursery 

 Co., Elmhurst, intends to devote his plant 

 in future to the growing of valley and 

 will have it all the year. He finds it is 

 his best paying crop. 



Thos. Hooper, of Elmhurst, reports a 

 very fair season just passed. He makes a 

 specialty of Beauty and his houses show 

 he understands how to handle it. 



W. H. Mann, of Pinole, is at present 

 in Martinez, engaged in landscape gar- 

 dening.
