CHANCES ON THE COAST. 



"We have just moved to Oregon from 

 Cuba and intend to start growing flowers 

 and seeds commercially. I wish some 

 grower on the coast would be kind 

 enough to advise me what would be best 

 to grow in this section. The ground is 

 rich in potash and carnations of many 

 varieties stand the winter in open 

 ground without protection. C.'H. B, 



Without knowing what experience in 

 growing either plants or seeds the in- 

 quirer may have had, it is rather hard 

 to ad\'ise what might be the most profit- 

 able. The nursery and florists' busi- 

 nesses are at the present time on this 

 coast very profitable enterprises: and 

 there is Ho reason why they should not 

 remain so for some time to come. If it 

 is the intention to erect greenhouses and 

 grow flowers for either the Portland or 

 Seattle markets, abundant output can 

 be had for everything raised at good 

 prices, as the supply has as yet not been 

 equal to the demand and a great por- 

 tion of the flowers sold at these towns 

 is brought from San Francisco and vi- 

 cinity; in fact, some of the largest 

 growers ship almost exclusively to those 

 places. 



If, on the other hand, it is the inten- 

 tion to go into the regular nursery busi- 

 ness the chances are equally as good for 

 making money. It is well to special- 

 ize, however, to a certain extent and 

 grow either roses, hardy ornamental 

 trees or fruit trees. 



The growing of vegetable and some 

 flower seeds is yet in its infancy on this 

 coast and, as the soil of Oregon is espe- 

 cially adapted for strong feeding vege- 

 tables, there is no risk providing the 

 grower has sufficient pluck to stay with 

 it until the returns begin to come in. 



Sweet peas have been a well paying 

 crop for several years and the demand 

 ' for the most popular flowering sorts at 

 present is much greater than the sup- 

 ply. They are of the easiest culture 

 and I see no reason why C. H. B. could 

 not devote a few acres to them at a 

 good profit. The returns can be had 

 without waiting several years, as is nec- 

 essary in plant growing, or with such an 

 expenditure of money as is necessary 

 to erect greenhouses for the growth of 

 cut flowers. G. 



TVIN CITIES. 



The Market. 



The trade generally anticipated a 

 drop in business during the Lenten sea- 

 son, but up to the present it is hardly 

 noticeable. Bright weather has not 

 only helped trade, but has put an en- 

 tirely different aspect on the market. 



Stock is plentiful and the quality is 

 much better than what we have had at 

 any time during the season. Killarney 

 roses are at the climax of perfection; 

 the color is good and the stems are 

 strong. In consequence, the demand 

 for good blooms of this variety has been 

 excellent. All other varieties are fine 

 and the price is maintained without 

 any difficulty. Carnations are about 

 equal to the demand. 



Bulb stock has taken a decided brace, 

 especially tulips. Violets have been in 

 great demand, the supply of home- 

 grown stock being quite limited. 



Funeral work has been heavier than 

 we have had it for some time, and ex- 

 pensive pieces have been turned out. 



Minneapolis. 



A visit to the plant of the Minneap- 

 olis Floral Co. found the Easter 

 stock in good condition. Mr. Monson 

 counts on having 10,000 lilies to offer, 

 and from their appearance at the pres- 

 ent time they are going to be of the 

 best quality. Some of their azaleas are 

 already in cool houses, but are not far 

 enough advanced to count on any loss 

 on them. In all they have about 1,800

fine hydrangeas. Spireas are grown to 

 some extent, but not so much so as in 

 previous seasons. They have some fine 

 white lilacs in bloom which command a 

 ready sale. They have a large number 

 of carnation cuttings planted. Victory 

 seems to be the favorite. Craig did not 

 give them the satisfactory results ex- 

 pected. 



Between table decorations and fu- 

 neral orders Eatph Latham has had 

 about all he could attend to. He con- 

 templates enlarging his place consid- 

 erably this summer. 



The Whitted Floral Co. has turned 

 over considerable stock of late, the de- 

 mand for bulb stock and violets being 

 unusually heavy.

E. F. Lemke continues to offer some 

 of the finest violets ever on sale here. 

 Business, he says, keeps up nicely. 



Holm & Olson have added two large 

 mahogany show cases which give their 

 place a finished effect. 



Robt. C. Seeger, of the Seeger Floral 

 Co., has discontinued business and is 

 now engaged in Chicago. 



The plant of L. L. May & Co. gives 

 every promise of an abundant Easter 

 crop. Their lilies will all be in and 

 other plants are looking fine. Their 

 roses are all in crop. Enchantress car- 

 nations are also good. Trade in the re- 

 tail department is heavy. Funeral work 

 keeps them busy. Felix. 



COLUMBUS, OHIO. 



J. E. Hellenthal has remodeled his 

 store and put in a large mirror. Stock 

 at the greenhouses is looking first-class. 

 Eoses are in heavy crop, with the last 

 two weeks of sunshine the growers are 

 making heavy cuts. Lilies are coming 

 along nicely, just right for Easter; also 

 a lot of hybrid roses and Baby Eam- 

 blers. Mr. Hellenthal has a sport of En- 

 chantress, a cerise pink, well built flower, 

 more fringed than Enchantress. The 

 flower is three and one-half inches in 

 diameter. His carnations are a grand 

 sight and are in heavy crop. His grower 

 may be credited with the faculty of 

 knowing how to get the best results out 

 of this class of stock. C. M. J.
