PACIFIC COAST. 



- Santa Cruz, Cal. — Dr. J. P. Parker, 

 the orchid grower, has bought an interest 

 in the Leedham Bulb Co. and is vice-pres- 

 ident and a director of the company. 



ExPEEiMENTS for the control of peach 

 blight in California have shown that the 

 disease can be completely controlled by 

 the use of standard Bordeaux mixture, 

 or lime and sulphur wash, applied early 

 in the fall, about the time of the first 

 rains. The methods recommended by 

 the U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 were widely used in California last sea- 

 son, with complete success, and it is 

 stated that the treatment has meant 

 many millions of dollars to the peach 

 industry of that state. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



It sounds good to hear such favorable 

 reports of the business being done by 

 the local florists. November made a 

 good record, with a great demand for 

 funeral work. Thanksgiving and the 

 annual football game on that day 

 proved a grand finale to the month's 

 business, with a tremendous sale of 

 chrysanthemums. While there were as 

 many fine blooms sold as last year, yet 

 we were obliged to shave the price. 

 Everybody says that the financial sit- 

 uation is improving, but we are still 

 transacting business with stage money. 

 A few of us got hit for small amounts 

 when the banks closed, but no knockout 

 blows were reported. 



The growers are busy people right 

 now, and never have we seen stock so 

 plentiful or looking finer during the 

 short days. Harrisii lilies grown from 

 cold storage bulbs made their appearance 

 three weeks ago and offered a variety 

 to the regular line of material. Paper 

 Whites and Bomans are recent arrivals 

 and we will use them in large quanti- 

 ties the next two months. 



The rainy season is with us now, 

 though there are occasionally intervals 

 of a bright day or two, and things 

 might look a great deal worse.

Business is quiet enough at present to 

 suit anyone. There is almost nothing 

 doing in the floral line, with the excep- 

 tion of a little funeral work, and that 

 seems to be confined principally to 

 sprays and bunches. The expected rain- 

 fall has arrived, but only a slight shower

to lay the city's dust. We have had 

 practically no frost thus far this sea- 

 son and, taking, it as a whole, the 

 weather is the best that could be imag- 

 ined for all kinds of stock. This is par- 

 ticularly noticeable with violets and it 

 has been very favorable also for the 

 chrysanthemum growers. 



Boses are a little scarcer than they 



«were a few days ago, but there is plenty 



of short-stemmed stock of all kinds. 



Fancy Beauties do not come to town in 



anything but very small packages. 



Carnations have not advanced any in 

 price since before Thanksgiving and 

 they are in ample supply for the trade. 



Quite a few poinsettias are being sent 

 here from the south. The crop is in 

 good shape so far, and unless unforeseen 

 circumstances occur there will be plenty 

 to go around. 



Narcissi, Boman hyacinths and valley 

 move slowly. Smilax and other kinds of 

 green stuff are very plentiful. Stevia is 

 being used largely for mixing with 

 sprays and bunches and will last until 

 after the holidays.

Joseph R. Jacques has opened with a
