be grown in Portland during the rainy 

 season, but this is the twentieth cen- 

 tury. 



Chrysanthemums have held the lofty 

 position to which they are entitled and 

 their value in dollars has not dimin- 

 ished. The fine blooms of Timothy Eaton 

 and Col. Appleton seen at Clarke Bros.' 

 store were unanimously given the blue 

 ribbon by all the florists. This firm were 

 fortunate in having a big supply of 

 these for Thanksgiving trade, which was 

 the best on record. Perfect weather and 

 the great annual football event created 

 a demand that cleaned us out at four 

 o'clock, when we were ready to go home 

 and do justice to the turkey. On Friday, 

 November 30, the Evening Telegram pub- 

 lished a vivid account of the enormous 

 business done and cartooned us as on our 

 way to the bank with the proceeds. 



Various Notes. 



Two weeks ago we were given a sur- 

 prise by the information that the long 

 established firm of Martin & Forbes had 

 dissolved partnership by mutual consent, 

 Mr. Forbes retiring. By close applica- 

 tion and industry these young men have 

 built up a profitable business, and Mr. 

 Forbes' name may now be listed among 

 those of the .Portland capitalists. After 

 a few weeks ' rest in California he will 

 return either to open a bank or finance 

 one of our new railroads! 



We had the pleasure last week of meet- 

 ing Mr. Phillips, of the Phillips Floral 

 Co., of Walla Walla, Wash., who was here 

 calling on the craft and incidentally mak- 

 ing arrangements for the publication of 

 his latest book of poems. Mr. Phillips 

 is optimistic in regard to trade in his 

 locality and is preparing to add 20,000 

 feet more glass to his range. 



Begular visitors from up the Willa- 

 mette valley are, Tony Le Grande an(J 

 Julius Broetje, of Milwaukee, bringing 

 miscellaneous stuff; Charlie Street, of 

 Clackamas, who is having his usual suc- 

 cess with violets and, we may add, 

 greater success with roses than hereto- 

 fore, cutting some fine Brides, Maids and 

 Richmonds; and Sam Soake, of Oregon 

 City, popularly kno'vrn as the green goods 

 man, on whom we largely depend for our 

 supply of common ferns and Oregon 

 grape. H. J. M.

 orchard have all been sold to the Oregon 

 nurserymen. The visitors were enter- 

 tained by the Chamber of Commerce. 

 President Moody, of the Chamber of 

 Commerce, and Luther Burbank made ad- 

 dresses of welcome, which were responded 

 to by A. McGill, of Salem, for the Ore- 

 gonians, and by C. A. Tonneson, of Ta- 

 coma, for the Washingtonians. 



EUCALYPTUS FOR TIES. 



An article in a recent number of the 

 Review contained a statement regarding 

 the lasting qualities of the eucalyptus. I 

 wish to know from what authority the 

 statement was obtained. I desire to in- 

 vest a portion of my salary in land for 

 the purpose of growing timber, ties, poles 

 and firewood. Do Eucalyptus rostrata 

 and Eucalyptus crebra crack in drying?

 consumption of wood in the western 

 country and that railroad building is but

material getting scarcer each year '•has 

 been called to the attention of those 

 interested in a forcible manner. In con- 

 sequence, considerable experimenting hua 

 been done at various places regarding the 

 adaptability of several varieties of euca- 

 lyptus to the clittatic conditions. 



The ironbark and red gums have been 

 used for years in Australia, both for 

 telegraph poles and railroad ties, so that 

 there was no risk whatever in using the 

 wood for that purpose. In fact there is 

 little else used for that purpose in that 

 country in sections where the trees are to 

 be had. This will dispose of the ques- 

 tion as to its adaptability, and that there 

 will be a tremendous demand for this
