SANTA MONICA, CAL. 



Landscape Work on the Bluifs. 



The bluffs at Santa Monica, looking 

 out over the Pacific, have for years 

 been planted with eucalyptus and a 

 few common date palms, but absolute- 

 ly nothing has been done to give any 

 brightness or life to the planting and 

 a somber, dull appearance at all times 

 of the year is the result. Recently the 

 mayor and park commissioners under 

 took a scheme of landscaping here, 

 opening up vistas of the ocean by re- 

 moving a few old, scrubby eucalyptus 

 trees and cleaning up the palms pre- 

 paratory to putting in lawns, flower 

 Deas and other aids to life and bright- 

 ness. 



This has apparently brought down 

 the wrath of the usual faultfinders, who 

 <leplore the loss of these weatherworn, 

 unsightly gums, which never ought to 

 have been planted in the first place. 

 Farther down, on what until a few 

 weeks ago was a sandy waste, a per- 

 gola has been built and pines and 

 shrubbery have been planted, in addi- 

 tion to which a lawn has been put 

 in and is already making good head- 

 way. 



The proposition is a diflficult one, 

 but those in charge are doing their ut- 

 most, by selecting hardy kinds and ' 

 suitably grouping them, to take away 

 the bare appearance and give beauty 

 and life in its place. There is there- 

 fore all the less reason for caviling and 

 faultfinding and it is to be hoped that 

 now, when the plantings are beginning 

 to take shape and the woebegone looks 

 of these fine cliffs is being removed, 

 these carpings will cease. 



Howard & Smith, the well-known 

 nurserymen of Los Angeles, are sup- 

 jdying much of the shrubbery and ad- 

 -ising as to the carrying out of the 

 woiK. H. R. Richards. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



Tne Market. 



. With the advancement of the sea- 

 son, stock is becoming more plentiful. 

 While there is a steady call for funeral 

 and decorative work, the store trade 

 has been rather slow, which is the 

 usual condition after Easter. Roses are 

 gradually increasing in quantity and 

 there is also a decided improvement in 

 the quality. Beauties are still scarce. 

 Maid and Killarney are in fine form. 

 The first cut of Kaiserin was sent in 

 last week and was exceptionally choice. 

 Carnations are plentiful. The stand- 

 ard prices are maintained by the bet- 

 ter cla.ss of stores. Darwin tulips are 

 coming in well, with good prices pre- 

 vailing. Fancy lilac, snapdragon and 

 iris are the novelties of the week. The 

 first outside roses to bloom were seen 

 last week, these being the premature 

 buds. 



Various Notes. 



S. Lubliner will move to a new lo- 

 cation, in the Portland hotel, about 

 May 1. This is an ideal location, being 

 nearer to the business center and on 

 a prominent street.
