the art of cultivating these most useful 

 flowers down to perfection. The retail 

 stores can always depend on Mr. Padrick 

 for the best flowers and the latest va- 

 rieties. 



Betuming home by way of Williams 

 avenue, we made our first call on George 

 Betz in Albina. This is on the east side, 

 and Mr. Betz showed rare judgment 

 when he selected his present location 

 eighteen years ago. He is the proud 

 possessor of an acre of ground, a hand- 

 some residence and 16,000 feet of glass 

 in a fashionable neighborhood. Associ- 

 ated with him are his three sons, and 

 the united efforts of this family have 

 built up a fine enterprise. An outside 

 investment, including part ownership in 

 a mining industry, we learned, assured 

 handsome returns on development.

The Market 



The big street-car strike is on in 

 San Francisco, and as a consequence 

 the dealers have to face one of the quiet- 

 est spells we ever have witnessed. The 

 retail stores are situated several miles 

 from all the railroad stations and fer- 

 ries and it has made deliveries diflScult. 

 Several of the suburban electric lines 

 have also been tied up, so that it is 

 necessary for the growers to depend on 

 the steam cars. 



Hoses continue scarce, with some de- 

 mand for good stock. Carnations are 

 not so good as we have been used to 

 seeing at this tipie. Other classes of 

 stock are offered in just about sufScient 

 quantity to fill demands. Asters are 

 getting scarcer, and in a couple of 

 weeks will be over for the season. Sweet 

 peas are getting short of stem. The 

 weather is much cooler than it has been, 

 which fact is gratifying to dealers in 

 general. 



Various Note*. 



The California Nursery Co., at Niles, 

 Cal., is busy with the budding of roses 

 and ornamental stock at this tim& 

 About 100 men are employed at this 

 place. 



Hugh Kirk is employed at present on 

 the grounds of F. M. Smith, in East 

 Oakland, Cal. 



E. M. Sanborn reports a good increase 

 in trade with the opening of the state 

 university at Berkeley. 



The City Hall park in Oakland is 

 being remodeled under the direction of 

 Malcom Lamond, head gardener for the 

 city. 



John D. Meyer has gone on a two 

 weeks' trip to Tonopah and Gk)ldfield, 

 Nevada. 



Owing to the diflSculty of reaching the 

 San Francisco stores, many of the grow- 

 ers have made an attempt to unload 

 quantities of stock in Oakland. The 

 retailers have been able to buy stock 

 for the last week at their own prices. 



A. L. Perkins, late of Los Angeles, 

 Cal., is in town on a visit. Mr. Per- 

 kins is well pleased with this part of 

 the coast, and may make arrangements 

 to remain here permanently. 



John M. Holland has purchased sev- 

 eral acres of land at Hayward, Cal., 

 with the intention of experimenting 

 with various kinds of bulbs. 



The Piedmont Seed and Floral Co., 

 of Oakland, has gotten nicely settled in 

 its new location on San Pablo avenae, 

 Oakland. They find both the store and 

 the location much more desirable than 

 their old quarters on Broadway. O.
