The Weekly Florists' Review. 



59 



seed and bulb store on Market street. 



John Becanne, one of Alameda's 

 pioneer florists, who recently sold out 

 his establishment to Geo. Yandenabeele, 

 has embarked in the cigar business on 

 Park street in that town. 



The " Pacific Coast Horticultural So- 

 ciety is preparing to give an elaborate 

 banquet in the near future. G. 



PORTLAND, ORB. 



The Market. 



Business has been spasmodic, a few 

 hours of activity and then a lull for 

 a few hours; funeral work and club 

 decorations, with an occasional wed- 

 ding, about cover the scope. 



Carnations are becoming more plenti- 

 ful, but the percentage of splits is 

 appalling, although, of course, this does 

 not cause an entire loss. White Kil- 

 larney is showing elegant form, far 

 superior to the pink variety in this 

 section, as it is not subject to mjldew. 

 Maryland is the principal pink rose; 

 Carnots aad Kaiserins are back num- 

 bers. Valley is plentiful, but short of 

 demand, and cattleyas seem to be en- 

 tirely out of the market. Cypripediums 

 are hardly salable, as there is rarely a 

 call for them, but they make effective 

 window displays. Easter lilies are 

 plentiful and move readily, while callas 

 are just commencing to produce and 

 always move at top prices. 



Shipments of field grown roses are 

 being received, as the nurserymen ex- 

 pect an early opening of spring^weather. 



Various Notes. 



A. J. Currie, of Milwaukee, Wis., 

 called on the trade last week in the 

 interests of the bulb industry. 



The sympathy of the trade is ex- 

 tended to Eugene O'Hara, of the Port- 

 land Seed Co., on the recent death of 

 his wife, after a lingering illness. 



An especially severe snow storm, the 

 first of the season, visited this section 

 recently and kept the greenhouse forces 

 busy cleaning glass. The temperature, 

 however, was slightly above freezing 

 and was not hard on the coal and wood 

 piles. E. E. C. 



MUSHROOMS WITH SWEET PEAS. 



Can you tell me whether mushrooms 

 growing around sweet peas are injurious 

 to the peas? Mine are turning yellow 

 and wilting off. The soil seems full of 

 spawn, so I am anxious to know if it 

 is the cause of the trouble. Would the 

 mushrooms, which look nice, be safe to 

 use? M. J. W. 



It is no uncommon thing to find 

 mushrooms growing in various beds or 

 benches in greenhouses. Frequently 

 the manure used contains some of the 

 mycelium or spawn from which the 

 mushrooms come. There should be 

 nothing in this manure to cause your 

 sweet peas to turn yellow, and, not 

 knowing the cultural and other condi- 

 tions, it is difficult to suggest a reason 

 for the trouble. If you will state the 

 nature of your house, the kind of soil 

 used, the temperature given, the djp- 

 tance apart the plants are in the rows 

 and how far the rows are apart, I can 

 perhaps help you. 



Without seeing one of the mush- 

 rooms, r cannot hazard an opinion as 

 to whether you have the edible sort or 

 not. Probably they are all right. You 

 might ask someone in your neighbor- 

 hood about them. The old and sure
