PACIFIC COAST. 



Subscribers on the Pacific coast 

 should not fail to note that their spe- 

 cial department of The Beview has 

 grown until it now occupies five pages. 

 Give us a boost and the Pacific Coast 

 Department will keep right on growing. 



Hayward, Cal. — Ernest Lundgren, 

 proprietor of a nursery and vegetable 

 garden here, says the weather has been 

 80 good on the coast this winter that 

 there "has been no time for anything 

 but work." 



Portland, Ore. — Grout & Wilson, who 

 are said to be the largest growers of 

 greenhouse lettuce, tomatoes and cu- 

 cumbers on the Pacific coast, are just 

 picking a crop of 150,000 Asparagus 

 Sprengeri seeds, indoor grown. 



San Bernardino, CaL — Probably the 

 largest funeral ever held here was that 

 of W. F. Buck, a Santa Fe official, 

 February 5. R. D. Schuman says it 

 gave him the biggest day's business he 

 ever has had. Besides the local de- 

 signs, dozens of others came from all 

 points along the line of the Santa Fe 

 and there was a carload of floral pieces 

 from Los Angeles. 



SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



We have had a few showers of warm 

 rain, but only enough to lay the dust 

 and freshen outside stock a little. 

 Flowers of all kinds, which have been 

 getting more plentiful for the last few 

 weeks, are now in full bloom, and prices 

 all along the line are lowering in a 

 noticeable manner. Boses and carna- 

 tions are of as good quality as it is 

 possible to have them, and, with sev- 

 eral weeks of continued warm weather 

 and lots of sunshine, springtime is here 

 in all itB+ glory. . The early narcissi 

 and daffodils have never been in 

 greater profusion or better form, and 

 the public takes kindly to them, so 

 that they are, with the possible excep- 

 tion of violets, the most popular 

 flowers.
