PACIFIC COAST. 



This Department now overflo-ws its 

 two pages, onto a third page. And it 

 has only begun to grow. Would some- 

 one at Los Angeles like to help push 

 it along by supplying a boiled-down 

 weekly letter regarding trade events 

 there? There are openings for corre- 

 spondents in several other Coast cities. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business conditions are gradually im- 

 proving as the season advances, and 

 there is nothing goes to waste in a well 

 managed establishment, as design work 

 utilizes all under grades. Carnations 

 and roses are steadily improving in 

 quality, with a slight increase in the 

 prices. Mums are aho in great variety, 

 with a steady demand. Valley is quite 

 scarce. Potted ^f|^^pEin||l^iti urns « ajid 

 cyclamen are the only blooming plants 

 available. ^ j

SUBSTITUTE FOR LATH HOUSE. 



The Review of September 28 con- 

 tained the following inquiry from A. 

 v., a resident of a Pacific coast state: 

 "In some parts of our town the build- 

 ing of wooden structures is not per- 

 mitted, on account of the danger of fire. 

 This keeps me from putting up a lath 

 house that 1 need for my plants. Do 

 you know of a structure, made of ma- 

 terial that is not combustible and at the 

 same time not too expensive, that would 

 answer the purpose of an ordinary lath 

 house f A reply from any reader would 

 greatly oblige." 



In reply to this inquiry, I wish to 

 offer the following suggestion: I know 

 of no non-combustible material that 

 would really take the place of the lath, 

 bnt it seems to me a fairly good house 

 for the purpose could be built by using 

 pipes for the framework, setting the 

 pipes about ten feet apart, in concrete. 

 Any old 1%-inch pipe would do for 

 supports, while 1-inch would be suf- 

 ficiently strong for the cross pieces on 

 top. Then the whole frame could be 

 covered with wire netting, say 1%- 

 inch or 2-inch mesh. By planting fast- 

 growing vines all around the sides and 

 ends, sufficient shade should be obtained 

 the first summer. Humulus Lupulus, the 

 common hop vine, for instance, is a fast 

 grower and well adapted for use any- 

 where on the Pacific coast. It would 

 drop its foliage in autumn just at the 

 time when heavy shade would no longer 

 be needed. Evergreen vines are slow 

 growers, as a rule, and might prove 

 detrimental during the winter months. 



The inquirer does not state what kind 

 of plant he wishes to. handle in such a
