until it is replanted. Care should be 

 taken to pack the soil firmly around the 

 stock so that it will not act as a sponge 

 and the trench as a basin in which the 

 roots get too much moisture, with the 

 result that if it is too long continued 

 they generally commence to decay. The 

 top may not show the effect of this for 

 months, or long after they have been 

 sold and planted in some other part of 

 the country. This is especially notice- 

 able in trees that do not require an ex- 

 cess of moisture even when growing. 



Another fact often noticed, especially 

 in packing grounds, is the careless man- 

 ner in which stock is pulled out of the 

 ground, with the result that there are 

 always a few trees left each time with 

 exposed roots, which the attendant never 

 has time to cover. If the weather is 

 frosty, with drying winds, both of which 

 are very common in California, the roots 

 and tops suffer greatly, and I have seen 

 hundreds of fine looking stock sent out 

 and every one of them long past recov- 

 ery. 



The habit of heeling in trees in bun- 

 dles has much to do with this state of 

 affairs. The dealer usually ties his trees 

 in bunches of ten trees each and plants 

 them in rows. If the roots are large the 

 three or four trees forming the center 

 of the package are rarely sufficiently cov- 

 ered to keep out the air, and unless the 

 soil is well sifted among the roots when 

 they are planted in this way they invari-

ably die out or get such a setback that 

 they never fully recover. 



Another mistake is to heel in stock in 

 a situation where a considerable quantity 

 of water will stand during the season. 

 The dug row in which tiie trees are 

 standing usually acts as a trough and 

 collects all the moisture in the neighbor- 

 hood. This does not apply so particu- 

 larly to sandy soil as it does to heavier 

 soil. 



Trees should not be left in the trench 

 till they are well out in leaf before trans- 

 planting. If for any reason it is desired 

 to keep them without permanently re- 

 planting, they can be shifted every few- 

 weeks, and in this way kept partially 

 dormant for a couple of months without 

 much injury. 0. 



SPOKANE, WASH. 



State of Business. 



With the first fall of snow the winter 

 season seems fully started and few win- 

 dows display anything but the king of 

 the early winter — the chrysanthemum. 

 Each firm has to be content with a small 

 show of its own, and reading in the trade 

 paper of the combined efforts of our 

 friends in the east to produce the splen- 

 did exhibitions of last week. 



Those who handle stock grown in the 

 coast cities have had their patience se- 

 verely tried by the flood that has visited 



the western portion of our state, washing 

 out our railroads, thus causing a sus- 

 pension of all transcontinental traffic for 

 the last eight days. But at this writing 

 we can look for a regular schedule, as 

 those roads severely damaged will bring 

 in their trains over other roads. This 

 disaster has interfered more seriously 

 with the violet trade than with any other 

 part of the business, as the eastern sec- 

 tion of the state does not produce this 

 necessary article. 



Various Notes. 



Sanders is handling some choice roses 

 and reports a large amount of funeral 

 work. 



Armstrong & Wright have an at- 

 tractive display of white and yellow 

 mums and used a quantity in decorating 

 for the Dickson-Dennis wedding. 



The Spokane Florist Co. is fully estab- 

 lished in its new quarters and has re- 

 cently added a basement store room. The 

 company had a large decoration at Coeur 

 d'Alene, Idaho, last week for a banquet, 

 tendered the Masons at the Hotel Idaho. 



Hoyt Bros, are to be congratulated 

 that they did not suffer a serious loss 

 by the disastrous fire, which occurred 

 next door to them. Kennedy. 



DOMOTO OF SAN FRANCISCO. 



The following story of one of San 

 Francisco's largest growers comes from 

 Pueblo, Colo. : 



' ' M. Domoto, one of the wealthiest 

 Japanese merchants in San Francisco, 

 November 17 visited Charles Koike, 

 leader of the Japanese colony in Pueblo. 

 Domoto is the proprietor of an immense 

 greenhouse establishment in .San Fran- 

 cisco and has made a large fortune out 

 of the business, 



"He landed in the Goldeu Gate city 

 fifteen years ago and opened a small 

 flower store, making the chrysanthemum 

 his specialty. He recently erected a large 

 building which is the headquarters for 

 football players during the season. He 

 is known as an authority on the game 

 and is always in attendanee at the larger 

 contests. When jiu jitsu was first spoken 

 of in this country Domoto demonstrated 

 its usefulness by putting down the cen- 

 ter rush of one of the heaviest teams 

 around the bay. Domoto and Koike were 

 intimate friends in Japan and while 

 making a business trip to Salt Lake the 

 former took occasion to come to Pueblo 

 to visit his friend."
