PACIFIC COAST. 



VICTORIA, B. C. 



A meeting of the Victoria Florists', 

 Nurserymen's & Gardeners' Association 

 was held in A. J. Woodward's store 

 November 17. It was well attended 

 and considerable business came up for 

 discussion. 



A communication was received from 

 the board of trade asking the society 

 to appoint a committee to cooperate 

 with the fruit growers' committee and 

 also the committee appointed by the 

 board of trade in gathering information 

 to be presented to both the dominion 

 and provincial governments in regard 

 to the establishing of a plant here for 

 the inspection and fumigation of im- 

 ported fruit trees and horticultural 

 plants. 



The nurserymen, as well as the fruit 

 growers, are experiencing great hard- 

 ships through having to send all the 

 perishable plants to Vancouver for in- 

 spection. For the purpose of obviating 

 these grievances the various committees 

 will petition both governments. 



SAN FSANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



In a general way it may be said that 

 Thanksgiving business was up to the 

 mark of last year, but it was not what 

 it should have been, considering the 

 beautiful weather we are having. 



An effort was made a few days ago to 

 raise the prices on all kinds of stock. 

 The mum growers, owing to the fact 

 that they are few in numbers, did well 

 and insisted on an increase of about 

 forty per cent over the quotations of 

 the previous week, but the carnation 

 growers who tried the same game came 

 to grief early in the week and carna- 

 tions can now be bought fully as 

 cheaply as at any time this fall. This 

 may appear strange, but owing to the 

 great number of the growers and the 

 want of unison among them, the retail- 

 ers had the advantage and along these 

 lines low prices prevailed. In roses 

 there was also an abundance and, save 

 for a little fancy stock, there was no 

 diflBculty in getting plenty of flowers. 

 Other blossoms were as usual and there 

 was no complaint of short supply. The 

 Christmas red berries are beginning to 

 make themselves a factor in the retail 

 trade and promise to be as popular this 

 season as ever before. Narcissi are 

 coming into town in fair sized quanti- 

 ties and, with the advent of rain, which 

 at the present time is much needed, we

should be treated to an avalanche of 

 hardy stock. Although it is somewhat 

 early to hear reports from many of the 

 surrounding towns, it is safe to, say 

 that the conditions prevailing in town 

 are but an echo of those in the interior 

 towns.

TEEE PLANTING IN CALIFORNIA. 



Much dissatisfaction is often caused 

 among the public in the planting of 

 trees and shrubbery in California's 

 heavy adobe soil. Not that the 

 ground in California is entirely com- 

 posed of this sort of material, but 

 there certainly is a large percentage of 

 it, especially in some localities. 



To cover the roots in a sanply or 

 loose, loamy soil needs but little care, 

 if it is well packed and the tree has
