VICTORIA, B. C. 



A good demand for bedding out pre- 

 vailed this spring and most of us cleaned 

 up well. Bed geraniums and Salvia 

 splendens were in great request. Some 

 firms had a stock of the new double lo- 

 belia, Katherine Mallard, but no fancy 

 prices could be obtained for it. 



June 19 was the date of the annual 

 rose show of the Victoria Horticultural 

 Society. It was a success in all ways. 

 No prizes were offered to the trade, 

 but the Oakland Nursery, Lansdowne 

 Nursery and Flewin's Gardens all put 

 up creditable exhibits. The two last 

 named also showed perennials. Among 

 the amateurs H. Beavan took a medal 

 for the best single bloom of a tea rose, 

 with a grandly colored Comtesse de Na- 

 daillae. It reminded me of blooms seen 

 years ago at the Crystal Palace. Mr. 

 Dowler obtained the medal for the best 

 hybrid perpetual, with Frau K. Druschki, 

 and Mr. Warburton got the hybrid tea 

 medal with C. Testout. He also ob- 

 tained a medal for the best twelve 

 blooms, any varieties. Many new roses 

 were in evidence. The famous Betty- 

 was in several stands and pleased every 

 eye. Many orders were booked for it. 

 Mrs. D. McGee was well shown. HugV 

 Dickson and Dean Hole also stood out ' 

 strongly. 



Tomatoes have dropped in price this 

 year. Last season we were realizing 25 

 cents per pound at this time. This year 

 they have been 15 cents for two weeks. 



The Fairview Greenhouses are build- 

 ing again this season. 



J. T. Higgins, who recently sold out 

 his place on Fort street, will erect a 

 100-foot structure on his new location 

 on Foul Bay road. E. A. W. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market 



A hot wave has struck San Francisco 

 and vicinity, and this is the first warm 

 weather we have had this summer. It 

 has not, as might be supposed, affected 

 the quantity of flowers brought into town, 

 however, because we have just finished 

 cutting the spring crop and the only ef- 

 fect the warm spell has is to weaken and 

 blanch what stock is coming on in the 

 bud. As a matter of fact, there is a 

 dearth of good stock at the present time. 

 Fancy roses are scarce and fancy carna- 

 tions are not plentiful. Small flowers 

 on short stems are the rule, and anything 

 that is really good finds a ready sale. 



Sweet peas are plentiful and are be- 

 ginning to show the effects of the ex- 

 cess of heat in the shortening of the 

 stems and the flabbiness of the flowers.
