PACIFIC COAST. 



CALIFORNIA'S HEAVY RAINFALL. 



The tremendous downpour of rain in 

 the central and northern parts of Cali- 

 fornia and the abundance of snow in 

 Oregon and Washington, coupled with a 

 great excess of moisture in every form, 

 has had a depressing effect on the nurs- 

 ery trade during the month of January. 



This time of the year should be a 

 harvest for the grower and seller of 

 nursery stock, but planting of every kind 

 has been interfered with so much that 

 at the best we can expect but a short 

 season. In the last week of January the 

 coast papers were still filled with ac- 

 counts of wjishouts and overflows, and 

 it will be some few weeks at least, even 

 should we be favored with drier weather, 

 before planters can get on their ground 

 to put it in shape for cultivation. 



Our season in California is at least 

 three months ahead of that of the east- 

 ern states, and when they commence to 

 plant we are usually finished for the 

 season. The weather in California after 

 the first part of March commences to get 

 warm, and in a few days the le&ves com- 

 mence to sprout on deciduous stock, and 

 then handling to advantage is over until 

 the following season. 

 ' That there would be a good trade in 

 nursery stock this winter goes without 

 saying. All the larger dealers are well 

 supplied with orders, and the only diffi- 

 culty seems to be the inability to deliver 

 them, because of the excessive rainfall 

 throughout the coast. This does not 

 apply so particularly to the southern 

 part of California, ^B here the rainfall 

 is rarely in excess of the demand, but in 

 every other section of the coast we have 

 bad more than enough. 



With evergreens and other kinds of 

 ornamental stock that can be handled 

 until the middle of April, there is time 

 enough to yet give a -fair season; but 

 with the fruit tree problem "there is 

 bound to be considerable loss to both 

 growers and planters, as with this class 

 of stock it is usually impractical to keep 

 them another year, in an effort to have 

 desirable planting stock. They quickly 

 outlive their usefulness in the nursery, 

 and planters justly demand younger 

 trees.

It is now the fourth day of February 

 and the rain keeps merrily descending. 

 We have had but six dry days since the 

 first of the year and the chances are that 

 the weather man has gone asleep at the 

 switch. It is to be hoped that he will 

 soon attend sufficiently to business to al- 

 low the florists at least an opportunity 

 to make a few sales. 



Notwithstanding the prevalence of dark 

 weather, there is an abundance of flowers 

 of all kinds, with the possible exception
