PACIFIC COAST. 



Portland, Okk. -The S\vi^ss Floral Co. 

 has removed to 4lL' East Seventh street, 

 north, where it will have better facilities 

 and more room for development. 



Tacoma, Wash. — C. Halkier, of the 

 Northwestern Floral Co., is making ex- 

 tensive improvements at his greenhouses, 

 on Tacoma avenue. He returned recent- 

 ly from a trip to San Francisco. 



Stockton, Cai.. — Jacob Koekelein, tlu> 

 head gardener ut the State Hospital, in 

 this city, is busy laying out, as part of 

 the hospital grounds, several acres of 

 land which have heretofore been in al- 

 falfa. Dr. Clark, the superintendent of 

 the liospital, endeavors to make the 

 ijrounds the pride of Stockton. 



TREE ROSES IN CALIFORNIA. 



The growing of roses in the standard 

 or tree shape is a branch of the business 

 that is not followed closely by many of 

 the California growers who handle con- 

 siderable quantities of them. The im- 

 ported stock from Europe is not suited 

 to this climate and this fact has been 

 more noticeable during the past season 

 than ever before. The roses are received 

 in California in good shape, but our dry, 

 hot summers are invariably fatal to the 

 stock that is indigenous to a more moist 

 country, and if they are allowed to sucker 

 at all they quickly die downward until 

 the bud is entirely dead and a wild stock 

 is all that is left to represent that which 

 once was a fine standard rose. Under the 

 most favorable conditions some of them 

 will last a season or two, but a dealer 

 'lislikes to handle them and sell them to 

 his customers after he has had a little 

 oxperience with them. 



Standard roses that are to ))e planted 

 in California must have for a stock some 

 variety that is long-lived in our <lry cli- 

 mate. Up to the present time the best 

 all-around stocks for these purposes are 

 La Griflferie and Manetti. The former 

 will accommodate about seventy-five per 

 cent of the varieties usually grown in 

 standard form, and the balance can be 

 made to do well on the latter sort. Gloire 

 Lyonnaise, Gloire des Kosomanes, Castel- 

 lane, Baltimore Belle and Prairie Queen 

 have all been tried, with varying success, 

 and each of them is particularly suitable 

 for several varieties, but the two I men- 

 tion have proven to be the best of the 

 long-lived kinds. Each of the others has 

 a few good points, but there is some 

 vlrawback also. G. 



SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Trade has been comfortable, with no 

 special rush exctept a few good funeral 

 orders, and a start of wedding work to 

 whet up our appetites for the season. 

 Summer stock continues to be of good 

 quality and roseuni lilie.s, valley, tube- 

 roses, stocks and gladioli are seen in 

 <juantity. Asters and peas we still have 

 with us, the asters improving in quality 

 «>ach day and the peas holding up well. 

 Carnations, especially Enchantress, Win- 

 Hor and white, are reported as improving 

 in some quarters, while no good roses are 

 promised for two or three weeks yet.
