PACIFIC COAST. 



HARDY SUMMER FLOWERS. 



Will you kindly publish a list of hardy 

 stock that will fill the places of dahlias, 

 cannas and other similar soft stock? We 

 had a light frost last week and lost all 

 of the tender stock. We always have a 

 July or August frost in this part of 

 Washington state, and want a list of 

 plants for general lawn work and also 

 for cut flowers, that will live through 

 the light frosts. E. G. 



It is a deplorable condition when frosts 

 interfere with general garden work in the 

 month of July. If dahlias and cannas 

 are nipped, heliotropes, geraniums, sal- 

 vias, achyranthes, coleus, alternautheraa 

 and all such stock will be spoiled at the 

 same time. This curtails the available, 

 suitable material somewhat, especially 

 such stock as is distinctively used for cut 

 flowers. 



Asters should receive considerable at- 

 tention, with chrysanthemums to follow. 

 Both of these are distinctively late sum- 

 mer and fall bloomers and will stand 

 quito a degree of cold. Use hydrangeas 

 for suitable areas. Golden Glow and 

 perennial phlox when plenty of color is 

 wanted. Stocks and candytuft are both 

 showy, and 'valuable for cut flowers and 

 can be kept in bloom well into the win- 

 ter. Carnations and roses are too well 

 known to require much description, but 

 there are many varieties of these that 

 are extra good for late blooming. 1 have 

 not spoken of bulbs, as these are so well 

 understood that no mistakes can be made 

 with them. G. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market 



Business showed a slight advancement 

 last week, which was a move in the right 

 direction. Most of the townspeople have 

 returned from the country and the schools 

 have resumed active operation. Many of 

 the carnation growers are in the midst 

 of changing their houses and this fact 

 has had the effect of lowering the supply 

 quite a little. The prices have stiffened, 

 and were it not for the oversupply of 

 asters at the present time, there would be 

 higher quotations all around. 



Boses, owing to the warm weather, are 

 not up to color or stem and there is a 

 good demand for Beauties, with but ''ew 

 offered. Amaryllis are plentiful and 

 cheap, and the same can be said of Jap- 

 anese lilies. Gladioli and dahlias are 

 moving better than at any time this sea-

PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



From general appearances and reports, 

 the summer 's business has been above 

 the average. Choice stock has not been 

 in oversupply and has always brought 

 top prices; poor stock has been more or 

 less sacrificed. 



Roses are now of good quality and 

 move well. My Maryland and Princess 

 Mario Metschersky bid fair to be the 

 leading pink roses. Killarney so far 

 has been a failure on the Pacific coast, 

 being more subject to mildew. Carna- 

 tions are scarce. The new stock is com- 

 ing in slowly, but the flowers are rather 

 short-stemmed for commercial use. Asters 

 are a drug and only the choicest varie- 

 ties can be moved. Gladioli are plentiful 

 and are effective for sprays. Golden 

 Glow mums are to be had in small quan- 

 tities and realize top prices. Rubrums
