PACIFIC COAST. 



The California Fruit Growers' Asso- 

 ciation, with a capital of $1,000,000, 

 has been licensed to do business in Mis- 

 souri, with an office in St. Louis. 



Seattle, Wash. — Sandahl & Son, who 

 do business as the Puget Sound Nursery 

 & Seed Co., have removed from 1123 

 Second avenue to 120 Pike street, cor- 

 ner Second avenue.

 porated to conduct a general nursery of 

 palms, evergreens and shrubbery. The 

 officers are: President, Joseph Sexton; 

 vice-president, Louis F. Horner; secre- 

 tary and manager, W. J. Pettingell; di- 

 rectors, Ernest Sexton and Thomas 

 Compton. They plan an institution 

 which will he a credit to the Pacific 

 coast. 



CENTRALIA, WASH. 



This is a place of about 6,000 inhab- 

 itants, situated on the Northern Pacific 

 railroad and about forty-eight miles 

 south of Tacoma. The town is growing 

 rapidly and business is lively. In 1905 

 A. M. Barnett built the first greenhouse. 

 He grows principally carnations, mums 

 and ealla lilies. Mr. Kahler has built 

 two houses and is growing lettuces and 

 radishes. Mr. Doncaster is now build- 

 ing a house and will grow flowers. 



PASADENA, CAL. 



By the time ' the Review reaches the 

 majority of its readers, the second an- 

 nual flower show of the Pasadena Gar- 

 deners' Association will be well under 

 way. The show is timed for April 4, 5 

 and 6. Last year's show was a success, 

 but the preparations for this year's 

 show have been much more elaborate. 

 The schedule includes seventy-one 

 classes and covers all the popular vari- 

 eties of cut and bulbous flowers, pot 

 plants, designs, etc. The awards for 

 each class are: First prize, money con- 

 sideration; second prize, ribbon. 



SANFHANOSGO. 



Tlie Market 



Owing to the continued dark weather 

 flowers are scarcer than they have been 

 at any time during the present year; 

 this, with the fact that we had several 

 weeks of warm weather in February. As 

 a result, the blossoms on both carnations 

 and roses were forced out somewhat be- 

 fore their season. We are now in the 

 center of the reaction and stock is very 

 scarce. The exception is outside bulbous 

 stock and violets. Calla lilies are plen- 

 tiful and can be had as low as $7.50 per 

 thousand. They were shipped to the in- 

 terior in large numbers for Easter deco- 

 rations. * 



Lilium Harrisii, both from the fact 

 that the bulbs have not proven to be up 

 to the mark and also that there were so 

 few plantings here, have reached the 

 high-water mark. The cut lilies are sell- 

 ing from $1 to $5 per dozen wholesale, 

 while those in pots cost the stores from 

 $6 to $15 per dozen. This shows what a 

 difference in quality is to be had and 

 what a range of prices is enjoyed here. 

 At the same time it is evident that there

 amount cut. 



Shipping orders among the dealers are 

 fully up to the average and there is but 

 little complaint from any cause, except 

 the weather. Green stuff, for church 

 decorations, moves well and there is a 

 good demand for smilax and ferns. The 

 regular transient trade has been quiet for 

 the last week, but the weather has par- 

 ticularly been to blame. 



Variotts Notes. 



James Skinner, of Portland, Ore., is 

 in towr, having arrived with a carload 

 of Belgian bay trees. They are to be 

 used in ornamenting the new Hotel Fair- 

 mount, shortly to be opened to the public.

 ment in the new block recently built on

W. H. Mann, head gardener for the 

 California Powder Works, at Pinole, Cal., 

 is in town. 



The price of Lilium Harrisii is twice 

 that of one year ago and the quality of 

 the flowers is much poorer than we have 

 been used to for many years. 



Charles Stappenbeck reports a heavy 

 Easter trade for all lines of stock. His 

 firm makes a specialty of nothing but 

 high-class goods. 



The California Evergreen Co. has been 

 receiving large consignments of Oregon 

 grape from the north since the season 

 opened. But at the present time the 

 spring growth is commencing to appear 

 on the stems and the time for handling 

 is about over. G.
