broader lines than it has ever taken 

 hitherto, and it should do this under 

 actual conditions, on an easily accessible 

 and widely representative horticultural 

 farm; and should adopt such instruction 

 to the needs and requirements of those 

 who secure a livelihood directly from 

 any branch of horticulture. 



That the legislature from the pop- 

 ular demand, and Mr. Kearney from 

 his own convictions, should place all this 

 value in the hands of the College of 

 Horticulture is a complete demonstra- 

 tion that the foundation laid by it in 

 horticultural science was recognized as 

 sound and enduring, and the men who 

 had given their lives, hitherto, to the 

 building of the foundations, could best 

 direct the expansion on the practical 

 side of instruction, so that the culture 

 of the soil, known to be practicable un- 

 der California conditions, should be 

 faithfully and accurately taught. Thus 



the recent state law, indorsed by Mr. 

 Kearney's magnificent gift, becomes an 

 incontrovertible decision, that horticul- 

 tural research and instruction shall be 

 henceforth entrusted to that department 

 of the University of California, in ac- 

 cordance with the organic act which 

 brought this institution into existence 

 forty years ago. G. 



AT SALEM, ORE. 



The illustration opposite is from a 

 photograph of the new establishment 

 of C. F. Euef, at Salem, Ore. It con- 

 sists of two houses, each 20x100 feet. 

 The construction is modern in all its 

 features. Heating by hot water is from 

 a boilerhouse at the left, water supply 

 being by the windmill and tank shown 

 in the picture. One house is devoted to 

 carnations, the other to mums, callas and 

 greens.

The Market 



Christmas business is now a thing of 

 history for this year. As was expected, 

 all kinds of stock was scarce and every- 

 thing sold at a good figure. I should say 

 that, in consequence of the scarcity, the 

 average price of stock was higher than at 



any time for many years. About every- 

 thing that came in had been ordered 

 many times over and had to be divided 

 pro rata. Koses were in better supply 

 than carnations, but that is not saying 

 much. Red roses were scarce and the 

 available stock was not a drop in the 

 bucket. Most orders for Liberty, Rich- 

 mond or Beauty had to be turned down. 



There were quite a few holdover mums, 

 which helped out wonderfully and brought 

 high prices. Poinsettiaa sold better. 

 Narcissi, Romans, valley and stevia sold 

 out clean. Violets were in heavy demand 

 and the supply was not equal to it. 



It is still too early to speak of the 

 volume of business done, but there can 

 be no doubt of its having been fully up 

 to last year in dollars and cents, if not 

 in volume of stock handled. And, after 

 all, that is what counts. The weather is 

 very cold at night, but it is clear and the 

 sun shines most of the time. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Gear celebrated the holidays by 

 erecting a large electric sign in front of 

 his store, which can be seen for several 

 blocks. Mr. Gear expects to make it a 

 permanent fixture. 



If you want to spend an enjoyable and 

 profitable evening don't forget the next 

 meeting of the Florists' Society, Janu- 

 ary 12, at 8 p. ra. It is expected to be 

 the banner meeting of the year.
