• 



Ernest A. Bailey, of Santa Cruz, Cal., 

 has bought a half interest in the A. Hit- 

 ting Calla Lily Bulb Co. Mr. Mitting 

 will be president and manager and Mr. 

 Bailey will be secretary and treasurer. 



Santa Clara, Cal. — The firm of 

 Hazleton Bros, has dissolved partner- 

 ship, and the business will be continued 

 by H. H. Hazleton. He has sold the 

 ground on which the greenhouses stood, 

 and the material of the houses is at pres- 

 ent stacked up, to be reerected as soon as 

 a new location can be found. Mr. 

 Hazleton says that at present there is a 

 prospect of a bountiful crop of every- 

 thing. The weather, however, is a little 

 unfavorable in this one particular, that 

 there is a great contrast between the day 

 and night temperatures, and one of the 

 consequences is a plentiful supply of 

 split carnations. 



WANT US TO EAT RAISINS. 



The raisin growers of California have 

 organized, appointed a publicity commit- 

 tee and designated April 30 as "Kaisin 

 day," a day they hope everyone in the 

 United States will eat raisins, eat enough 

 raisins to consume a good share of the 

 20,000 tons of last year's crop of raisias 

 that have not been marketed. The com- 

 mittee says the American people consume 

 only one-fifth as many raisins per capita 

 as the people of England. The object of 

 the present campaign is to create a 

 greater demand and a greater consump- 

 tion of the California raisins. There are 

 produced annually in the state of Cali- 

 fornia about 60,000 tons, or 120,000,000 

 pounds of raisins. 



BULBS IN THE NORTHWEST. 



In his annual report as chief of the 

 Bureau of Plant Industry, B. T. Galloway 

 reports on the progress and plans re- 

 garding the government's work at bulb 

 growing, as follows: 



' * It having been demonstrated that the 

 propagation of Dutch bulbs is a possi- 

 bility in the Puget Sound region, it was 

 decided to undertake this work on a 

 more definite basis. In order to do this 

 it was deemed best to have a suitable 

 tract of land exclusively under the con- 

 trol of the department. Such a tract, 

 consisting of ten acres, was located near 

 the city of Bellingham, Wash., and the 

 people of that city, through the Cham- 

 ber of Commerce, secured a lease of this 

 tract for a period of ten years and ten- 

 dered the same to the Department. The 

 offer was accepted with the understand- 

 ing that the tract was to be put in 

 proper shape for the work contemplated, 

 a suitable dwelling house erected there- 

 on for the superintendent of the garden, 

 and such other buildings and improve- 

 ments made as were necessary. The 

 tract with all improvements was to be 

 leased to the Department at a nominal 

 rental, and the Chamber of Commerce
