PACIFIC COAST. 



Medford, Oee.— Among the new cor- 

 porations is the Rbgue EiVer Valley 

 Nursery Co.; principal oflSce, Medford; 

 capital stock, $20,000; incorporators, F. 

 H. Cook, D. Franklin and C. F. Cook.

(h'l 



Climatic conditions have materially 

 changed since the last report — spring is 

 evidenced on all sides, lengthening of 

 the days affords more sunshine and pro- 

 duces amazing results in the stock. 



Tulips and daffodils are becoming 

 more plentiful and sell well, either cut or 

 in pans. On account of St. Valentine's 

 day the demand for the red varieties ex- 

 ceeded the supply. Violets seem to be in 

 particular favor, judging from advance 

 orders. Genistas are coming in fine shape 

 and some attractive windows are to be 

 seen. The Chinese New Year created a 

 demand for azaleas and Boman hyacinths 

 — ^no other flower is considered by the 

 quaint people. A special effort is always 

 made to have a batch in flower for that 

 occasion. 



Carnations are of fine quality, with a 

 brisk demand. Pink Delight has many 

 redeeming qualities and may be the suc- 

 cessor to the famous Enchantress. Boses 

 are in fine form and color, as well as of 

 great demand, with a daily clean-up. 



February has been a banner month so 

 far, especially in funeral work. The 

 changing of the seasons usually causes a 

 great many deaths. On account of the 

 scarcity of flowers the florist flnds it 

 expedient to raise the standard in funeral 

 work; besides, the public has become edu- 

 cated to choicer arrangements and de- 

 signs. 



Orders for rose bushes and shrubs are 

 being booked rapidly. Portland is known 

 as the "Eose City" throughout the 

 States and the people pride themselves 

 on well kept yards and hedges. Oregon 

 rose fame was heralded from Cuba a 

 few days ago, accompanied with a large 

 order for stock. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Currie, of Currie Bros. Co., Mil- 

 waukee, Wis., called on the trade in the 

 interest of the bulb trade with satisfac- 

 tory results. 



Mr. Lundy, representing W. A. Manda, 

 was in town last week to discuss the 

 orchid situation. 



Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Murdoch, well 

 known to the Pittsburg trade, are spend- 

 ing some time in this city. While not 

 actively engaged in the business, they 

 have not lost interest in it. 



Eobert Fulton, representing Henry & 

 Lee, of New York, called on tiie trade in 

 search of bulb orders. E. B. C. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The weather continues to be on the 

 mend and it appears as though the cold 

 nights and days are over for the season. 

 Consequently we may expect, within the 

 ,next few weeks, an avalanche of all 

 kinds o!f stock. There hsis been quite a 

 reduction in carnations during the last 

 few days and roses will follow suit 

 shortly. Violets are now at the height of

 the rate charged to the stores and Prin- 

 cess of Wales is practically the only 

 variety seen. 



Boses, although not unusually plenti- 

 ful, are in better form and color than 

 they have been at any time this year. 

 Daffodils are in their prime and are the 

 most popular flower at present with the 

 flower-buying public. They are both good 

 and cheap and are being used in large 

 quantities for window decorations. The 

 best flowers cost the rertailers from 75 

 cents to $1.50 per hundred, white Paper 

 "White and other varieties of narcissi 

 sen at about half those prices. "Wild 

 flowers of all kinds are about two weeks 

 later than usual, but the last few days 

 have seen a full supply on exHibition. 

 The advent of Lent has made quite a 

 difference in the demand for stock. The
