PACIFIC COAST. 



CoLViLLE, Wash. — H. -C. Smiti* has 

 built a large . greenhouse ou his home 

 property, a mile east of town. This is 

 the first enterprise of, this kind started 

 in Colville. 



On account of his advancing years, 

 H. E. Middlekauff has retired from the 

 management of the San Fernando Nurs- 

 ery Co., of San Fernando, Cal., and W. 

 J. Mann, the secretary of the company, 

 has also assumed the duties of manager. 



Fruitvale, Cal. — Four boys, all pu- 

 pils of the Dewey school, were arrested 

 November 13 for stealing flowers from 

 the greenhouses of Fukusumi Bros., on 

 East Fourteenth ^t^^t, near Tevis street. 

 It was stated that ^he school boys had 

 been bothering the/e florists for some 

 time by breaking on pickets at the rear 

 of the greenhouses removing glass from 

 the houses and srealing carnations and 

 other flowers. 



SAN FRANC3SCO. 



ThefAukeL 



The few days of rain have been fol- 

 lowed by colder weather, with frosty 

 nights and warm days. Consequently 

 flowers are not quite so plentiful as they 

 were a week ago. Violets are much 

 scarcer and the price has been advanced 

 25 cents a dozen bunches by the growers. 

 Mums are also showing the effects of the 

 last season and the continued cold 

 weather, and the number sent into town 

 has been greatly reduced, as well as the 

 quality of the flowers themselves. The 

 price of the best outside stock has ad- 

 vanced fully 100 per cent within the last 

 three days. 



Carnations continue -plentiful enough, 

 with a slight advance in price. The best 

 fancy stock costs the retailers about $4 

 per hundred -and from that price down to 

 about $2 per hundred. Roses are scarce. 

 There was but a short supply for Thanks- 

 giving and, taken as a whole, they were 

 of rather poor quality throughout. But 

 little fancy stock was seen and, had it 

 not been for a few crops of Maids, there 

 would have been a poor showing. 



Valley is more plentiful now than it 

 has been at any time for the last month 

 and, from indications, there will be no 

 shortage of it for some time to come. 

 Maidenhair fern is well toward the end 

 of, its natural growing season and the 

 retailers are complaining that they are 

 having difficulty in getting enough to 

 use with cut flowers, but the wild variety 

 will soon make its appearance and will 

 help considerably.. Smilax is also begin- 



Largest stock of up-to date varieties ever grown in Loomis. All our cuttings are taken 

 from one-year-old plants, which have been grown in the open field in absolutoy virgin soil. 

 All cuttings rooted without artificial heat.

uing to be plentiful and this makes it 

 easier for the florists and decorators. 

 Other kinds of green stuff are plentiful. 

 The business for Thanksgiving was, 

 according to reports from several re- 

 tailers, about twenty per cent less than 

 that of last year, with the heaviest sales 

 for the cheaper kinds of stock. There 

 has been a large funeral trade in town 

 for the last week, so that, independent 

 of Thanksgiving business, the retailers 

 have had all they could handle.
