Pacific Coast Department 



Spokane, Wash. — Burnette Bros have 

 bought the stock and fixtures of 

 the Winters Floral Co., 5 Lincoln 

 street. 



Gilroy, Oal. — ^Max Crow, nurseryman 

 and florist, with greenhouses near this 

 city, has had a good season's business 

 in the line of soft-wooded stock. 



Hillside, Ore.— W. C. Hoffman is suc- 

 cessor to the Western Floral Co. His 

 postoffice address is Route 1, Hillsdale. 

 The greenhouses are at Sylvan, Ore. 



Petaluma, Cal. — Henry Schnabel, un- 

 til recently at the town of Stanford 

 University, Cal., has purchased the 

 Main Street Nursery, at 605 Main 

 street, formerly owned by W. A. Eein- 

 holt. He will handle cut flowers, as 

 well as a general line of nursery stock. 



San Francisco, Oal.— The contract for 

 the greenhouses for the Panama-Pacific 

 Exposition has been awarded to Neil 

 A. McLean, of this city, as the lowest 

 of nearly a score of bidders. It is pro- 

 vided that the houses are to be ready 

 for use thirty days from signing the 

 contract, and that's going some, even 

 if the number and size of the houses 

 are not stated in the press bureau 's an- 

 nouncement. 



Baker, Ore.— At the Baker County 

 Pair the Baker Floral & Seed Co. ex- 

 hibited a 36-inch wreath of magnolia 

 and cycas leaves, tied with red, white 

 and blue ribbon. It was a facsimile of 

 the wreath sent by the United States 

 to the funeral of the emperor of Japan, 

 copied from the illustration in The 

 Eeview, and it attracted much atten- 

 tion because of the facts regarding the 

 original, brought out on a card at- 

 tached to the wreath.

The Market. 



There is an upward trend in business 

 which is gratifying at this time, after 

 the slump during the summer. There 

 is plenty of stock of all kinds and it is 

 being used up nicely. Asters have given 

 way to naums. Although the mums are 

 not yet in their prime, we may expect 

 a full supply at any time. Inside mums 

 seem to be a shade cheaper than they 

 were one year ago, but still the prices 

 are fair and the growers are not com- 

 plaining. In carnations the crop is get- 

 ting heavier daily, now that the new 

 plantings are producing good flowers. 

 There is a slight scarcity of roses, 

 owing to the fact that the week of 

 warm weather some days ago brought 

 everything into bloom with a rush 

 and there has been but little since. 

 Dahlias and gladioli are beginning to 

 show the effects of the long nights and 

 are not as good as they were. Amaryl- 

 lis and Japanese lilies are about over 

 for the year. Valley is in good supply 

 and moves nicely. Orchids are about 

 in suflScient supply to fill requirements. 

 . All outside stock is on the wane. 

 Sweet peas are over, with the excep- 

 tion of a few scattering patches. Fu- 

 neral orders, with quite a bit of other 

 trade, have kept everyone in good 



humor for the last few weeks. The 

 indications for the continuance of a 

 good demand were never brighter. 



Various Notes. • ;' 



S. T. Turpin, of the Eoseville Pottery 

 Co., Zanesville, O., has been in town 

 for a few days with a choice line of 

 florists' ware. He reports a heavy 

 trade. 



The grounds formerly occupied by 

 the Pacific Nursery, at the Presidio, are 

 now a portion of the fair site. Mr. 

 Kempf has removed to Colma and will 

 start business again at that point. 



Nagata & Co., of Melrose, have fin- 

 ished two rose houses, each 25 x 200 

 feet; they will plant immediately to 

 Liberty. 



D. Qreuttner, a well known florist of 

 Vallejo, Cal., is in town on a short 

 trip. Q.

Conditions in the flower business are 

 about as usual for this time of year 

 and are getting slowly better. Trade of 

 all kinds is showing some improvement; 

 consequently the call for flowers will 

 follow. . Stock is still fairly plentiful, 

 with the exception of carnations, which 

 are rather scarce. Some pretty good 

 carnations from young stock are now 

 coming in, and in about two week» 

 there will pr^pbably be plenty for all 

 •demands. There are lots of roses and 

 a few chrysanthemums on sale and 

 they are bringing good prices. Good 

 asteui^'^ell well. Bubrums are still with 

 us. Some of the stores are making 

 larger displays of orchids than we used 

 to see. Cattleyas are plentiful and in
