PACIFIC COAST. 



Portland, Ore. — The Portland Floral 

 Co. has opened a retail store at 325 Mor- 

 rison street. 



Santa Barbara, Cal. — Ernest Sexton, 

 who occupied part of the Ruiz drug store 

 last winter, will have his stand in Fred- 

 erick J. Smith's store, 817 State street. 



Seattle, Wash. — The Interlaken 

 Nursery & Floral Co. has been incorpo- 

 rated,' with a capital stock of $5,000, hj 

 J. J. Bonnell, F. W. Stevens and F. M. 

 Jordan. 



Newberg, Ore. — The son of Thomas E. 

 Miles has been ill for about two months, 

 and has now been taken to Portland 

 Sanitarium. Mr. Miles says his carna- 

 tions look exceptionally well for this time 

 of year. 



George C. Roeding, of Fresno, Cal., 

 has asked the Committee on "Ways and 

 Means, now considering tariff changes, 

 that the present tariff of 2 cents per 

 pound on figs be raised. He said it is 

 * * insuflScient to stimulate the business, as 

 there is only about 1 cent per pound 

 profit at the present rate. Secretary 

 Wilson assisted in starting the fig in- 

 dustry and is entitled to the credit for 

 the 3,000 tons now grown annually. The 

 business could be greatly built up." 



Olympia, Wash. — The Capital Nurs- 

 ery, conducted by E. J. Bemeche, com- 

 prises four acres on Capital Point, over- 

 looking Budd 's Inlet. On the west the 

 view stretches away to the Olympics, 

 while on the east a scene of equal beauty 

 is presented, with Mt. Rainier in the 

 background. The greater portion of the 

 nursery is situated directly in front of 

 the mansion of the governor of the 

 state. Mr. Bemeche has rapidly built up 

 a large business from a small beginning. 

 He makes a specialty of roses and 

 peonies. 



RIVERSIDE, CAL. 



Last spring Charles Howard, formerly 

 of the Chase Rose Co., bought five 

 acres in the Hemet tract near Park Hill 

 and planted it to roses. He erected a 

 large propagating house and laid out 

 a number of hotbeds. Another house is 

 now going up. A car of 90,000 pots was 

 bought. A dwelling and service build- 

 ings were erected. A large quantity 

 of stock will be propagated this season. 



Nursery stock will be grown, as well 

 as roses. Olives for market also will be 

 tried. 



LOS ANGELES, CAL. 



The Market. 



Trade has picked up wonderfully in 

 the last few months, and especially since 

 the result of the election became known. 

 Confidence now seems to be completely 

 restored. All the stores are doing a 

 thriving business, with a liberal amount 

 of funeral work. 



Various Notes. 



Edward Kirby has taken over the Re- 

 dondo Gardens and Greenhouses, located 

 at Redondo, Cal. He is installing a new 

 boiler, etc., and putting the place in an 

 up-to-date condition. This place was for- 

 merly owned by the Redondo Improve- 

 xneat Co., of the same place.

The Florists* Club gave a stag party

 the Pasadena Gardeners' Association 

 were invited. Most of them attended, 

 including their president, Mr. Blake. The 

 opening address was made by Dr. A. D. 

 Houghton, vice-president of the club, who 

 presided in the absence of the president, 

 who was unavoidably detained elsewhere. 

 Others addressed the club on different 

 subjects. Flowers were seen in profu- 

 sion on and around the speakers' table.

 joyable evening, which closed with re- 

 freshments, the members dispersed, de- 

 claring that the next blow-out given by 

 the club would be a ladies' night.

If we are fortunate enough to have a 

 good rain we can look for a better volume 

 of business. Flowers, with the exception 

 of roses, are in abundant supply and the
