PACIFIC COAST. 



Echo, Ore. — Frank Skinner has pur- 

 chased five acres of land just across the 

 river from Echo and will build an up-to- 

 date range of greenhouses. 



Portland, Ore. — Fire caused by an 

 overheated furnace recently damaged the 

 hothouse of Milton W. Smith at 826 

 Hood street to the extent of $100. A 

 large number of plants were killed by 

 the extreme heat. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market 



Another week of continual raining, 

 and everyone is beginning to wonder 

 when it will stop. We have not had a 

 glimpse of the sun for two weeks in this 

 neighborhood, and yet it is not cold. 

 The lowest temperature during the 

 month has been 50 degrees. We should 

 have an avalanche of flowers if we were 

 treated to a little of old Sol's rays in 

 addition to the excessive, warm rains we 

 have had, but it is just as well as it is, 

 for business is so slow at present that 

 there would be absolutely no chance to 

 use additional stock. 



There is rather a scarcity of fancy 

 roses, but the list of deficiencies ends 

 here, for with everything else we are 

 most abundantly supplied. Never have 

 violets been more plentiful, or of finer 

 quality or lower figure than at present. 

 From $2 to $4 per hundred bunches 

 gives a good idea of their value. Carna- 

 tions cost the stores from $2 to $3 per 

 hundred. 



Valley and Boman hyacinths move 

 slowly; so, also, does L. longiflorum. 

 Daffodils of the earlier varieties sell 

 well. They wholesale at from $3 to $4 

 per hundred, but will be cheaper in a 

 few days. Freesias have made their ap- 

 pearance and sell well. 



Outside mums are almost at the end 

 of their season, although some good late 

 whites are being brought into town. In- 

 side mums, with the exception of a few 

 beds of Appleton, are down and out for 

 the season. Wild ferns of various kinds 

 have made their appearance and help out 

 wonderfully, as the overworked supply 

 of maidenhair and Asparagus plumosus 

 was showing the effects of a hard winter. 



Variotti Notes. 



John McLaren, of Golden Gate Park, 

 has issued a neat volume, entitled "Gar- 

 dening in California," which has re- 

 ceived much favorable comment in the 

 book reviews. 



The San Francisco Morning Call, in 

 its issue of January 17, devoted consid- 

 erable space to the seed and plant indus- 

 try in California. 



George - S. May has returned from a 

 tour of the southern counties. 



S. A. Barrett, of Berkeley, Cal., has 

 returned from a trip to South America. 



Domoto Bros., of Elmhurst, are cut- 



Larg:est stock of up-to-date varieties ever grown in Loomls. Remember, we srrow plants 

 only for the cuttings. You get the entire strength of the plant in our cuttings. We also 

 have cuttings from soil for spring delivery.
