addition of judicious foliage. We have 

 heretofore planted flowering plants, roses 

 and small shrubbery almost exclusively, 

 and these are all steps in the right direc- 

 tion, but to make a lasting impression 

 both for our own benefit and for the 

 stranger within our gates, it behooves 

 every one with a love for the beautiful 

 to do his share to encourage the use of 

 lasting evergreens. 



I have spoken on this subject, it will 

 be noticed, both from the standpoint of 

 a grower with goods for sale, and as 

 such see the pecuniary advantage of be- 

 ing able to share in the proceeds, and 

 also from a strong fondness for the 

 beautiful in nature, especially that por- 

 tion pertaining to a growing tree or 

 shrub, both of which are in order at this 

 time. G.

The Market. 



The rainy weather of last week has 

 been succeeded by plenty of sunshine 

 and warmth and as a result flowers of 

 all kinds are somewhat earlier. Soses, 

 while scarce enough, are being brought 

 into town in larger quantities than at 

 any time since Christmas, and the pros- 

 pects are for continued good crops. Car- 

 nations are somewhat cheaper than they 

 have been and the quality throughout is 

 excellent. A few mums are still in the 

 ring, but they have ceased to cut any 

 figure. Narcissi and daffodils are sur- 

 prisingly scarce for some reason and 

 tulips are but little in evidence. Boman 

 hyacinths and freesias are becoming 

 more plentiful. Business is very fair, 

 especially in the line of funeral work. 

 Several large weddings are scheduled for 

 the next few weeks, so stock of certain 

 kinds will be in big demand. 



Variota Notes. 



The Alameda Improvement Club, of 

 Alameda, will' plant out several miles of 

 sycamore trees alternated with dracaenas 

 along the sidewalks within the next few 

 weelu. 



Prof. Wickson, of Berkeley, is calling 

 the attention of the authorities to the 

 fact that there is great need for a for- 

 estry experimental station in California. 



The Society Hortensia, of Oakland, 

 had its regular bi-monthly meeting on 

 Saturday evening of last week. Several 

 interesting papers were read. 



Wm. Barry, of Niles, has published his 

 annual report as horticultural commis- 

 sioner of Alameda county. He calls at- 

 tention to the fact that the nursery and 

 florist trade is in a very flourishing con- 

 dition. 



John H. Sievers & Co. are cutting an 

 extra large and fine crop of their new
