PACIFIC COAST. 



The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Nursery 

 Co. is clearing a tract of land at Fre- 

 mont, Wash., and shortly will begin 

 jilantiug. 



Los AXGELES, Cal. — The green aphis 

 lias been troublesome to the rose growers 

 this season, blasting or deforming the 

 buds just in the midst of their spring 

 glory. Whale-oil soap is a fair remedy, 

 though tobacco decoctions are far better. 

 If the lady birds would tend to their 

 "knitting" 'these nits would disappear 

 before they had developed to the sucking 

 age. 



MODESTO, CAL. 



Caniiiin & Moffitt now have the larg- 

 est inirscrv establisliiiieiit in Stanislaus 

 county. Tiny have fifty acres in nurs- 

 ery stock and jjlan to extend the acreage 

 right along for a year or two to come. 

 They sold out everything this year and 

 could have sold much more stock had 

 they possessed it. For tiie next planting 

 season, tliey will have )SU,(){)(( peach trees 

 and L'().()(K) plums, apricots and almonds; 

 ;ils() L>0. ()()() CiUimyrna fig trees. They 

 will also have 100,000 rooted vines. They 

 will liud this season, for sale for the 

 ])lantiiig season after the next, ;')00,000 

 ])eaclies. 10,((00 pears, 5,000 cherries, 

 /),000 aj)ples and some other varieties of 

 fruit, Jiiid will extend the acreage of 

 \ ine cuttings. 



SAN FRANQSCO. 



The Market 



I regret to have to make a report 

 again of poor business for the last week, 

 but in surveying over the ground it 

 would be useless to pretend that every- 

 thing is not at a very low ebb. We are 

 in the third week of the street car strike 

 and, although the cars are running after 

 a fashion, still they are not being pa- 

 tronized by anything like the number of 

 people they should be. Continued an- 

 noyances from strike sympathizers have 

 made the traveling public timid and on 

 .some lines, especially those that pene- 

 trate the poorer parts of town, the situa- 

 tion still remains serious. All of this 

 confusion tends to make matters ex- 

 tremely quiet, and were it not for the 

 out-of-town shipping and a few stray 

 funeral orders we would be down and 

 out. 



There has been a fair demand, how- 

 ever, in the country for cut flowers for 

 .Memorial day and several of the dealers 

 rei)ort large sales. Flowers, although 

 not (piite as plentiful as they were a few 

 days ago, are still in good supply and 

 the prices continue low. Sweet peas have 

 lowered in price somewhat, as they now 

 cost the retailers but 75 cents per dozen 

 bunches. Carnations can lie had from 

 $1 up to $2.50 per hundred. Valley is 

 plentiful and moves slowly. Lilium 

 longiflorum is being brought into town 

 by the Japanese growers in large quanti- 

 ties and costs the retailers about $2 per 

 dozen stems. Japanese irises make the 

 windows showy and are taking the place 

 of the peonies, which are practically out 

 of season now.
