"We ended the day's outing with a gen- 

 eral discussion on topics of horticulture 

 with George Otten. In addition to a 

 well established retail business, Mr. 

 Otten gives considerable attention to 

 landscape work, having laid out the 

 grounds for some of Portland's finest 

 homes. Another honor to be proud of 

 was his work in connection with the 

 Lewis and Clark fair, when his services 

 were much in demand in planning and 

 shaping the grounds for that once most 

 beautiful spot. H. J. M.

room in connection with it. The Burk- 

 hardts have prospered from the begin- 

 ning. 



A half block farther up on Glisan 

 street Hoflfman Bros, have held the fort 

 for sixteen years, getting their share of 

 the retail cut flower trade. 



Another neatly kept place is that 

 owned by Henry Ehlen on Twenty-third 

 street. Three years ago he realized hand- 

 somely on his down-town property, and 

 located here shortly after. Mr. Ehlen 

 has gone to Germany on a visit, after 

 an absence of thirty years. 



We were next attracted by a new 

 greenhouse on Raleigh street. This was 

 built two years ago by C. A. LeGrande 

 to please his wife, who has a natural 

 talent for the business. The general 

 appearance of things bears out this state- 

 ment. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Business has not improved to any 

 noticeable extent during the last week, 

 and the retailers have had a quiet time, 

 except for an occasional funeral order. 

 Flowers are not especially plentiful, with 

 the exception of asters, and they can 

 be had in any quantity, at almost any 

 figure. Sweet peas are getting scarce 

 and the price has almost doubled within 

 the last two weeks. Carnations, on ac- 

 count of the fact that many of the 

 growers are at present changing their 

 houses, are not plentiful, but with the 

 limited amount of business at hand there 

 are enough to fill all requirements. Roses 

 are scarce for the same reason, and there 

 is some demand for fancy stock, Amer- 



ican Beauties are hard to get at any 

 price unless they are of poor quality. 

 Brides and Maids are in poor shape 

 also. Smilax is getting more plentiful, 

 and is in good demand. Valley moves 

 slowly. Outside stock, such as coreopsis, 

 dahlias, gaillardias, scabiosa and mari- 

 golds, is being used extensively for the 

 show windows, but finds little sale. 



In Oakland business is fully as quiet 

 as in San Francisco, although dealers in 

 general expect things to brighten up 

 shortly. The schools, have again resumed 

 their sessions, and a majority of the 

 wealthy people are back in town again. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. A. Devrieze, for twenty years a 

 resident of San Francisco, and associ- 

 ated with J. Jacquemet in the manage- 

 ment of his store on Fourth street, died 

 August 6. Mrs. Devrieze was a native 

 of France, and was 70 years of age. 



Clifford Pinchot, chief of the govern- 

 ment forestry service, is on a visit to 

 Berkeley. Mr. Pinchot is an enthusias- 

 tic horticulturist. 



F. Ludemann, of the Pacific Nurseries, 

 reports a good demand for fall bulbs. 



Sievers & Co. are at present busily 

 engaged in replanting their six large 

 carnation houses. Their show of tuber- 

 ous begonias, occupying two entire 

 houses, is the finest on this coast, and 

 they are at their best at this time. 



A. Mann, Jr., has a full line of flo- 

 rists' supplies ready for the trade. He 

 lost heavily in our recent fire, but he has 

 received heavy consignments from the 

 east and Europe within the last few 

 weeks. 



George Moore has gone to Goldfield, 

 Nevada, with the intention of opening a 

 floral establishment if he finds a good 

 business opportunity. 



Miss Parsons, of Parsons & Coleman, 

 Fresno, is in town. 



Montgomery's book on Grafted Roses 

 sent by the Review for 25 cents. 



Toronto, Canada. — Manton Bros, 

 have dissolved partnership, and Thomas 

 Manton will carry on the firm 's busi- 

 ness. G. D. Manton, the retiring part- 

 ner, will continue in business at Sher- 

 wood avenue, Eglington.
