I would be afraid to say how many 

 thousands of Prima Donna are here and 

 the last of the Red Cherokees are 

 hardly out of the houses. Then there is 

 another — buf one of the trials of a 

 newspaper man is that he cannot al- 

 ways tell what he knows. Dieterich & 

 Turner will be heard from again pretty 

 soon. 



J, C. McCuUough, lately of Cincin- 

 nati, O., was visiting here for a few 

 days and will return later. He is seri- 

 ously considering going into the grow- 

 ing of bulbs here. 



The H. N. Gage Co. now has large 

 cuts of flowers of all kinds from the 

 Montebello ranch. While it is too early 

 yet to speak positively, the bulb stock 

 of all kinds appears to be flourishing 

 quite well, despite the unfavorable sea- 

 son, and apparently Mr, Gage has 

 struck a fine piece of land for his pur- 

 pose. The pretty little bunches of Cecil 

 Brunner handled at the store have been 

 winners, as well as the varieties of 

 orchids shown, including the old Den- 

 drobium nobile. 



The window of the Hayward Floral 

 Co. was ablaze with all the best vari- 

 eties of tulips last week. Mr. Darling 

 says his transient trade is far and away 

 above that of last year. 



Two of the best jobs at the Freeman- 

 Lewis store last week were a .$150 pall 

 of violets and a beautiful table decora- 

 tion of Cecil Brunner roses. 



Some of the finest bulbous stock ever 

 seen in the city was arriving at the Los 

 Angeles Flower Market last week. The 

 yellow daffodils. Paper Whites and hya- 

 cinths were especially good. Business 

 keeps up here at the same rapid clip.

SEATTLE PAEK HOUSES. 



The accompanying illustration shows 

 the conservatory and greenhoiises re- 

 cently completed in Volunteer park, 

 Seattle, Wash. The work of erection 

 has all been done by the employees of 

 the park board, under the supervision 

 of the superintendent, J. W. Thompson, 

 and H. L. McGillia, the chief engineer. 

 The materials were supplied by Hitch- 

 ings & Co., Elizabeth, N. J., and the 

 building is of the curved eave type, 

 with iron construction. The center 

 building, or palm house, is 30x50 feet 

 and twenty-five feet to the ridge. On 

 each side are houses 24x.51 feet and at 



the ends are wings each 24x42 feet, 

 the whole forming a range 200 feet long. 

 A noticeable feature to commercial 

 greenhouse men is the bench construc- 

 tion, which in part of the range is made 

 of slate supported by iron frames, the 

 remainder being made with slate sides 

 and tile bottoms supported by T-iron. 

 The heating throughout is by hot 

 water, two fifty horse-power Ideal 

 boilers doing the work. The park 

 board saved approximately $5,000 by 

 doing its own construction, the total 

 cost being about $20,000, while the 

 local contractor's price was $25,000. 

 The building is situated in one of Seat- 

 tle 's most central parks, on Capitol 



New Range of Greenhouses in Volunteer Park, Seattle, Wash.
