The Weekly Rorists' Review^ 



Mabch 18, 1909. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



Portland, Ore. — J. J. Butzer reports 

 business exceptionally good this spring. 



Dan McEorie, formerly with W. A. 

 Manda, South Orange, N. J., is now lo- 

 cated at 721 Crocker building, San Fran- 

 cisco, handling horticultural supplies. 



George Guy Paine, proprietor of the 

 Golden West Nursery, at Los Gatos, Cal., 

 has been declared bankrupt, and A. Ber- 

 ryman has been appointed trustee, with 

 authority to offer, at private sale, the 

 bankrupt's nursery stock, plants, tools 

 and other personal property. 



Vancouver, B. C. — The Eoyal Nurs- 

 eries & Floral Co., Ltd., has been in- 

 corporated under the laws of the prov- 

 ince of British Columbia and a pros- 

 pectus has now been issued, inviting the 

 public to subscribe to 10,000 shares of its 

 authorized capital, the shares being $1 

 each and the authorized number 100,000. 

 Forty acres of land have been secured 

 near Vancouver and greenhouses with 

 a glass area of nearly 60,000 square feet 

 are now nearing completion. The presi- 

 "^ent is W. D. S. Rorison. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market 



The weather has turned very dry for a 

 change, and rain has been replaced by 

 high north winds. Flowers are again 

 plentiful, with the exception of roses, 

 which are in rather short supply. Vio- 

 lets, after having been the great standby 

 of the retailers, are now on the wane, 

 and the limber stems and lighter shaded 

 flowers show that the end of their season 

 is near. Late flowered daffodils are now 

 at the height of their season and half a 

 dozen varieties of tulips are assisting 

 materially in the florists' show windows. 

 Freesias hold on well and have proven to 

 be good sellers this season. Valley does 

 not move as quickly as it should and L. 

 longiflorum and Harrisii are in the same 

 position. 



Wild flowers have made their appear- 

 ance, and good California poppies, wild 

 ranunculus and buttercups are being 

 handled extensively by some dealers. 

 Good maidenhair and asparagus are both 

 scarce, but we are receiving such a quan- 

 tity of the wild varieties that the short- 

 age is not materially felt. 



Business, with the exception of funeral 

 work, is scarce, there being but little in 

 any other line worth mentioning. From 

 reports of several of our leading ship- 

 pers, it appears that the Easter trade 

 may be better than that of last season. 

 In another couple of weeks, however, we 

 can tell better what to expect, and act 

 accordingly. 



Vuiou* Notes. 



A. Eingier, representing the W. W. 

 Barnard Co., of Chicago, has left town 

 for a trip through the northern country. 

 He reports plenty of business for the 

 season. 



Fred Seulberger has been reappointed 

 horticultural inspector for Alameda 

 county, with headquarters at Oakland. 



Martin Eeukauf, of Bayersdorfer & 

 Co., of Philadelphia, is visiting the local 

 retailers with samples of many good 

 things in the florists' line.

PACIFIC COAST SHRUBS. 



Under separate cover I am mailing you 

 samples of a shrub which grows profusely 

 here, in Oregon, along the seacoast, 

 thriving fairly well even in the face 

 of the prevailing cold northwest winds 

 in summer. Any information regarding 

 it would be very acceptable, as would 

 also a list of shrubs and trees suitable 

 for seaside planting on the Pacific coast. 



D. M. 



The sample sent by D. M. is a Rhodo- 

 dendron macrophyllum, one of the char- 

 acteristic varieties of which there are 

 several on the Pacific coast, the best 

 probably being the R. Californicum, 

 which is not found in profusion as far 

 north as the upper part of Oregon, but 

 in the more southern division, as well as 

 in northern California, it forms one of 

 the most beautiful of the distinctively 



Asparagus 

 PlumosusNanus 



Last year, owing to the almost total failure 

 of the Asparagus Plumosus to seed, I was 

 unable to fill my orders, but this season I am 

 to the front with about 2,000,000 seed. 



The plants, after a year's rest, blossomed 

 freely and matured a heavy crop of what I 

 believe will be the strongest seed ever sent 

 out of California. The Asparagus Plumosus 

 grown here needs no introduction to you, 

 however, as you are already fully acquainted 

 with its merits. You can get seed promptly, 

 as they are being harvested now, and can be 

 delivered upon receipt of your order. 



Seeds will be sold by count, with the usual 

 guarantee as to germination, and I will again 

 sell at my usual low, cash-with-order prices 

 as per following list: 



1,000 seeds... $ S.OO 13.000 seeds.. SSO.OO 

 6,000 seeds... lO.OO 25,000 seeds.. 35.00\

I shall be glad to receive your order and 



know you will be pleased with the results.
