PACIFIC COAST. 



Santa Cruz, Cal. — The Leedham Bulb 

 Co. is completing a greenhouse, 22x100, 

 which will be used to bring in early 

 crops of daffodil blooms and for propa- 

 gating. The company has lately been 

 making large shipments of gladiolus 

 spikes, for which there has been a very 

 good market. J. H. Willey, who has 

 been the manager for the last three 

 years, has considerably developed the 

 business. 



Wenatchee, Wash.— The Milot-Mills 

 Co. has completed a new addition to its 

 greenhouses. There will be no need of 

 purchasing another boiler, as the pres- 

 ent boiler has ample capacity to care 

 for the enlarged range. Business has 

 been good and there has been no hin- 

 drance here to the growth of stock, as 

 sunshine and water are both plentiful; 

 an abundance of water for irrigation 

 is obtained from the Wenatchee river. 

 Leon I. Milot, the manager, left re- 

 cently for a trip to the east. 



BimUNaAME, CAL. 



On her recently purchased estate at 

 Hillsborough, Miss Jennie Crocker has 

 put up a range of four greenhouse^ 

 each 26x200, for roses, carnations and 

 other stock; also one cheesecloth hous^ 

 for chrysanthemums. These will be' 

 run on a commercial basis by her super- 

 intendent, Henry Maier, in conjunction 

 with the propagating and show houses 

 of old standing and the general nursery 

 business in Burlingame. 



The land on which the new houses 

 are erected is located near the main 

 entrance to the estate and is level, 

 rich and sheltered. It was formerly 

 rented to Chinese, who grew cut flowers 

 for the market, but on account ot the 

 good location a good deal of retail 

 business had been worked up. The 

 transfer from Chinamen to a million- 

 aire is considered by the growers to be 

 for the better, as it will not lower 

 prices. C. N. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



We are still having cold weather, 

 which, although somewhat out of sea- 

 son, admits of the production of plenty 

 of good stock. Asters are rather more 

 plentiful than they were and the price 

 has fallen. They will be in full crop 

 in a few days and, though there is not 

 as great an acreage devoted to them 

 this year as there was last season, there 

 will he sufficient for all wants. Gla- 

 dioli are now in their prime, but are 

 not moving as well as they did a year 

 ago. America and Augusta are the best 

 sellers, while the mixed sorts are hard 

 to dispose of. Dahlias are being used 

 considerably by the stores in window 

 decorating, but otherwise are not much 

 in demand. 



Carnations are still in only fair crop, 

 owing to the fact that many growers 

 are changing stock at this time. Many 

 of them are short-stemmed and the 

 prices match the quality. Boses are in 

 better form and color than they have 

 been for the last month and the demand 

 for good stock is becoming more notice- 

 able daily. Japanese lilies of several 

 kinds are now at their best and are 

 selling well. In a general way it may
