PACIFIC COAST. 



The Park Nursery Co., of Pasadena, 

 Cal., is making some alterations and im- 

 proYementa in its city sales yards, 190 

 West Colorado street. The old build- 

 ing, which has done service as an office 

 for tvrenty-one years, has been removed, 

 and in place of it an attractive office and 

 a modem greenhouse are being erected. 

 Additional yard room has also been se- 

 eured. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market 



Business still shows a tendency to 

 improve, and stock, especially of the 

 lighter shades, is quickly bought up. The 

 growers are still in the midst of chang- 

 ing their stock, and carnations and roses 

 are not plentiful. Asters are at their 

 best. The quality is good and the 

 prices are low. The best blooms can 

 be bought at $1.50 per hundred, and 

 even less. They will last for another 

 month; and then make way for chrysan- 

 themunfts. Some early varieties of these 

 are being offered in small quantities. 

 They are greenhouse grown and of good 

 quality. The outdoor stock looks well, 

 but will not be ready for cutting in 

 quantity for about four weeks. Roses 

 are scarce and anything that is really 

 good brings a fair price. Poorer quality 

 can be had at almost any figure offered. 

 Amaryllises are a glut in the market and 

 many thousands will be allowed to go 

 to waste in the fields. Japanese lilies 

 have not moved as quickly this week 

 as they did previously, and many in- 

 ferior flowers are coming into town; but 

 it is near the end of their season and 

 another couple of weeks will find them 

 disappeared. Sweet peas, except short- 

 stemmed stock, are scarce. Valley con- 

 tinues to move slowly. Gladioli and 

 dahlias have given way to the character- 

 istic fall flowers. Everything else in 

 the floral line is away down in price. 

 The weather continues to be cool, al- 

 though it is a shade warmer than last 

 week.

SMILAX ON THE PACinC COAST. 



Smilax that is growing in a lath or 

 shade house should without delay be 

 put in shape for another season. If it 

 has not been growing too long in its 

 present location, the ground should be 

 well soaked and then carefully dug up, 

 with a quantity of manure between the 

 rows. Given another thorough soaking 

 and then a slight mulching of well rotted 

 manure, the growth will shortly com- 

 mence. Before it does, see that the 

 strings are all attended to. The young 

 shoots will grow fast with this treat- 

 ment, if the roots have been allowed to 

 dry out well during the summer, and 

 in a couple of weeks they will show 

 themselves nicely.
