Bush Btreet. They refused an offer of 

 $80,000 for the ground and building a 

 few weeks ago. 



Sievers & Boland have opened tem- 

 porary quarters at their nurseries on Van 

 Ness avenue, which luckily escaped the 

 general conflagration. 



John Young, of the Dwight Way 

 Nurseries, Berkeley, has re-leased the 

 property used by him for many years 

 for a further term of three years. 



A. Rossi, of Rossi Bros., was united 

 in marriage with Miss Louise Ferro- 

 giarro on April 26. He will make a 

 trip to Europe on his honeymoon. 



The Cox Seed Co. has opened a tem- 

 porary office at 108 Cole street. They 

 will handle the bulk of their seeds from 

 their Oakland warehouse. 



The camping of 50,000 refugees in 

 Golden Gate park has played sad havoc 

 with the park. 



A. Mann, Jr., has opened temporary 

 quarters at 2041 Pine street. 



Frank Pelicano can be found at his 

 nursery on Mission road, near the five- 

 mile house. 



One of the results of the recent fire 

 is to cause a great scarcity of florists' 

 moss, several large lots of it being 

 burned up in San Francisco. All the 

 surrounding towns get their supplies 

 here. 



John Martin, of Ross Station, has 

 purchased the Park Fellow's collection 

 of orchids and removed them to his new 

 orchid houses. 



The California Evergreen Co. has 

 opened at Thirty-fourth and Telegraph 

 avenue, Oakland. 



It is estimated that over 1,000 men 

 and women are thrown' out of employ- 

 ment by the temporary ending of San 

 Francisco's flower trade. 



An absolute want of demand for all 

 kinds of colored flowers has put the 

 price of such stock at anything a pur- 

 chaser will offer. American Beauty roses 

 can be had anywhere at 25 cents per 

 dozen, and carnations of fancy varieties 

 at 5 cents to 10 cents per dozen. There 

 is a slight sale for funeral flowers, that 

 is all. G.

 all escaped the ' ' trembles ' but that we

PACIFIC 



COAST 



TOURS 



A new booklet just issued under this 

 title should be in the hands of every 

 person who expects to make a trip west 

 of the Rockies this year. 



It outlines all the routes to the Coast, 

 shows maps of each, contains a large map 

 of the country Irom the Great Lakes to 

 the Coast and has a great deal of valu- 

 able information about side trips, inter- 

 esting sights, etc. 



The booklet is finely printed and hand- 

 somely illustrated. Its use will save you 

 the trouble of getting and combining the 

 separate booklets of the many different 

 roads reaching the Pacific. 



Your request on a postal, mentioning 

 the name of this paper, will bring a copy 

 by return mail.

burned in han Francisco, which was our 

 market, and all the greenhouses might 

 as well have burned for all the business 

 we can do. Frisco as we knew it is no 

 more. Refugees to me number of a 

 thousand a day are arriving at Port- 

 land, carried free by the Southern Pa- 

 cific. (Harriman isn't such a bad fel- 

 low after all.) The fire put business, at 

 least the flower business, "on the bum" 

 all along' the coast, including Portland.

The regular meeting of the Lenox 

 Horticultural Society was held May 5, 

 President Carlquist in the chair. This 

 was an institute, held in connection with 

 the Housatonic Agricultural Society, and 

 their president, F. W, Heath, introduced 

 Dr. B. L. Hartwell, of the Rhode Island 

 Experiment Station, as speaker of the 

 evening. Dr. Hartwell gave a very in- 

 structive lecture on "How Plants 

 Grow. ' ' He explained from large charts 

 the chemical structure of the leaves, 

 stems and roots of plants, and also ex- 

 plained the various experiments that they 

 are making at Kingston, E. I. A com- 

 mittee was appointed to draw up resolu- 

 tions of condolence to be sent to the wife 

 of onr estpcmcd and active member, the 

 late Wm. Wood. G. F. 



I AvouLD like to congratulate you on 

 the phenomenal results obtained from 

 my advertisement. I have sold several 

 hundred thousand Asparagus plumosus 

 nanus seeds. The Review surely does 

 the work. — F. Gilm.vx Taylor, Glendale,
