Tacoma, Wash. — Mrs. Alex. Brown 

 has gone out of the greenhouse busi- 

 ness. 



Portland, Ore. — The American Asso 

 ciation of Nurserymen and the Pacific 

 Coast Nurserymen's Association will 

 hold a joint convention here June 18 

 to 20. 



Aberdeen, Wash.— A recent fire at the 

 Ellis greenhouses caused a loss vari- 

 ously estimated at $1,000 to $2,500. The 

 damage to the houses, $500 to $600, is 

 said to have been covered by insurance. 

 The loss on plants will fall on Van 

 Slyke & Seamons, of Tacoma. The 

 houses are owned by H. Ellis. 



San Luis Obispo, Cal. — The explosion 

 of an oil stove in one of the green- 

 houses at A. W. Shurragar's gardens 

 caused a loss, recently, of about $600 

 in plants, besides the damage to the 

 house. About 100 panes of glass were 

 forced out or shattered. The stove had 

 been in use since Christmas, on account 

 of the unusually cold weather which 

 played havoc with outside stock in this 

 vicinity. 



Pasadena, Cal. — The Misses Rogers 

 have purchased the Kempton Flower 

 Shop, at 190 West Colorado street, and 

 will continue the business as before. It 

 is understood, however, that a new 

 name will soon be given to the shop. 

 The three sisters have had considerable 

 «?xperience with plants of all kinds, 

 although this is their first (experience in 

 business for themselves. F. L. Kemp- 

 ton, the former owner, is returning to 

 Buffalo, where he will still be connected 

 with the trade. He expects to be there 

 the latter part of February. 



Roseburg, Ore.— Mrs. F. D. Owen is 

 th.> florist of Fern Island Fruit Farm 

 and Greenhouses, her husband being 

 the orchardist. Mrs. Owen's green- 

 houses are in excellent condition and 

 she expects to do a fine business in 

 bedding stock this spring. The plaiit 

 trade at the holidays was larger than 

 «>ver, though prices were lower than 

 lieretofore. "Ostrich plume" ferns sol>l 

 splendidly at 50 cents and 75 cents 

 each for 5-ineh pots. It is impossible 

 to handle shipped-in cut flowers except 

 nt a loss. 



Clearbrook, Wash. — George Gibbs, the 

 bulb grower, has kept a systematic 

 weather record here for the last quarter 

 of a century, part of the time for the 

 United States government and part of 

 the time in connection with his personal 

 study of plant life, and he thinks the 

 climate of western Washington is such 

 as to deserve even more favorable at- 

 tention than it receives. He refers 

 especially to the wealth of atmospheric 

 moisture and the heavy dewfall all 

 through the growing season. Mr. Gibbs 

 is known locally as the "Burbank of 

 the Northwest," and what he has ac- 

 complished has extended beyond the 

 borders of this state. He demonstrated 

 that bulb growing may be made a prof- 

 itable industry here and his experiments 

 were chiefly responsible for the deci- 

 sion of the United States government 

 to establish an experimental bulb farm 

 nt Fort Bellinghani. 



Oakland, Cal. — Koseo Savagni has ob- 

 tained a permit to build three green- 

 houses on E street, near Eighty-'iighth 

 avenue. 



Seattle, Wash. — The firm of Gordon & 

 Rasmussen, 1920 Tenth avenue, north, 

 has dissolved partnership, and H. E. 

 Rasmussen is now conducting the busi- 

 ness in his own name. 



McMinnville, Ore. — Charles E. Herbert 

 and wife were the original owners of 

 the property on which Herbert & Fleish- 

 auer conduct their aster business; they 

 are the parents of Mrs. Fleishauer, who 

 is the guiding spirit of the business. In 

 1901 H. T. Fleishauer and wife came 

 to live on the place and in 1904 bought 

 a half interest in the property. As the 

 business grew, large wells were dug, the 

 Skinner system of irrigation was in- 

 stalled and greenhouses were added. In 

 3910 additional space was needed and 

 five adjoining acres were jnirchased, on 

 which a 12-foot well will now be sunk 



and the irrigating system installed. 

 Harvey T. Fleishauer gives his wife and 

 her parents the credit for founding and 

 developing the highly specialized busi- 

 ness in which he is engaged and which 

 has proven successful far beyond their 

 early anticipations. 



LOS ANQl^LES. 



The Market. 



Stock is easing up considerably, but 

 there is still far from a normal supply. 

 A lot of good roses have been shipped 

 in from the north, and these, with lo- 

 cal grown stock, have kept pace with 

 the demand, though the high price has 

 left little profit in it for the whole- 

 salers. Carnations from inside are 

 good, though in some cases showing 

 the effect of too much heat, this hav- 

 ing been applied to forward the crop 

 and increase the cut. A few also show 

 the marks of thrips. The outdoor crop
