NORTH POMONA. CAL, 



I am planning to grow carnations 

 benched in a shade house covered with 

 light cheese-cloth. We grow almost every- 

 thing in such houses here, only varying 

 the thickness of the covering material. 



We can propagate in very warm 

 weather here by running a pipe along 

 the ridge outside, bored full of small 

 holes, into which string is lightly 

 wedged. The water drips from the string 

 to the cloth roof and spreads out very 

 thin, just enough to keep the roof damp, 

 and evaporation does the rest. 



In this manner one has a very cheap 

 natural refrigerator by which the tem- 

 perature may be kept low enough to 

 keep butter hard in the very hottest 

 weather. I should think something like 

 this would be fine in the east in summer, 

 yet one never sees them there. 



While I have worked in several places 

 in the east, this is my first experience 

 for myself, and I am very glad one has 

 the privilege of seeking aid from the 

 Reviev?, which is worth several dollars a 

 year, instead of the one it costs.

SAN FRANOSCX). 



The Market 



Business is at a very low ebb. There 

 is nothing stirring in a social way and 

 funeral orders are few and far between. 

 Flowers are scarce. Mums are not yet 

 to be had in quantity, sweet peas are 

 very short of stem, and carnations and 

 roses are slowly coming in season. There 

 is stock enough offered, however, to fill 

 <ill wants and from the appearance of 

 t'verything it will take a few nights' 

 frost to start things going in good 

 ihape. The weather has turned warm 

 again, although the appearances were for 

 rain during the early part of the week. 



Various Notes. 



The estate of John Eock, late presi- 

 «1ent of the California Nursery Co., has 



been ordered distributed to his two chil- 

 dren. The value has been placed at 

 $55,000. 



H. Yoshiike will give up the growing 

 of general nursery stock and devote him- 

 self in future to carnations. He has sev- 

 eral promising seedlings this season. 



Frank Pelicano is still rusticating in 

 the country and will not return to town 

 for several weeks. 



The Cox Co. has received its supply of 

 Holland bulbs. A good trade is reported 

 in that line. 



A matter of interest to horticulturists 

 is the successful moving of a large palm 

 from San Mateo to Redwood City. J. 

 W. Poole, of the latter place, completed 

 the work this week. The tree is forty 

 feet in height and about five feet in 

 diameter and was estimated to weigh, 

 with the ball of earth, about forty tons. 

 Twenty-eight horses hauled the tree on 

 a large truck, taking about two days. The 

 tree came from the residence of Alvinza 

 Hayward, at San Mateo, and has been 

 replanted near the residence of Park 

 Commissioner W. J. Dingee, at Redwood 

 City. 



W. H. Mann, of Pinole, is in town on 

 a short visit. 



Miss Charlotte Williams, the Post 

 street decorator, reports several large 

 wedding decorations for the near future, 



Fred L. Smith has returned from a 

 month's trip to Portland and Seattle.
