New Red Dahlia 



Mrs. Minna Burgle 



A cross between Joe Thomson and Clown, 

 originated by Mr. J. Burgle of Kruitvale, Cal , 

 and named after his wife, Mrs. Minna Burgle, is 

 the best Red Detorative Dahlia ever produced 

 and will supeisede all other red varieties now 

 grown for cut floweis here or abroad. It draws 

 your attention instantly when planted in a col- 

 lectii n of Dahlias, for it is one of thu most showy 

 flowers ever created. True decorative, bright 

 scarlet, showing a darker shading in center, bold 

 erect flowers, 6 to 8 inches in dlam. ter, with ex- 

 cellent stem, foliage of remarkable substance, 

 height 5 to 6 feet, good keeper and will not bum 

 in hot weatht-r, and is a freer bloomer than either 

 parent. This variety has been tested by me for 

 three yearn and has shown no weak points. 



A vase of 50 blooms shown r>y me, also a basket 

 of them exhibited by ."<levers Floral Co., of San 

 Francisco, both carried flr^t prizes in the l^all 

 Flower Show in San Francisco, and caused more 

 comment among gardeners and vi>itors than any 

 other exhibit. Cut flowers sold for the ttrst time 

 last year brought 50 per ct«nt more than any other 

 variety of dah las, including Joe Thomson.

cated for many years. The firm has not 

 yet decided on a new place of business. 

 ^ The Paciic Coast Horticultural So- 

 ciety held a regular monthly meeting 

 February 4, with a large attendance. It 

 was decided to give an exhibition of 

 spring flowers March 30, 31 and April 1. 



Antone Ericson, recently gardener to 

 Mrs. J. A. Folger, at Woodside, has 

 severed his connection with that place 

 and is residing in San Francisco. 



Eugene Hoffman, formerly of this 

 city, but now a resident of Sacramento, 

 Cal., is in town. He is at present land- 

 scape gardener to the Garlough Eealty 

 Co., of that town, and is engaged in 

 laying out a large tract of land for 

 them. 



The May Seed Co., of Market street, 

 is in financial difficulties with its cred- 

 itors, and the sheriff's office has the 

 store in charge pending a settlement. 



Fred. C. Buss, of the California Seed 

 Co., has returned from his honeymoon 

 trip and is back at his post again. 



John Seroggs, well known in this 

 city, has purchased the flower and seed 

 establishment formerly owned by H. 

 McWilliams, in Sacramento. G.

The Market. 



Business for the last week has 

 shown a slight increase, and there 

 is a shortage. Roses are particularly 

 scarce, and extra stock, supplied from 

 California, is far from satisfactory, due 

 principally to the poor packing. Carna- 

 tions are about equal to demand, with 

 a daily clean-up. 



Tulips, hyacinths and daffodils are 

 plentiful and move well, especially in 

 pans, which create a good demand 

 when arranged in special window 

 effects. Fancy azaleas are displayed in 

 all the shop windows and are the best 

 selling plants on the market. 



Pussy willow has made its appear- 

 ance, a forerunner of spring. 



Various Notes. 



Martin Reukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., Philadelphia, is in town. 



The mild weather and warm rains are 

 causing the outside bulbous stock to 

 come up rapidly. Tulips are especially 

 advanced, and the danger of frost has 

 not yet passed.

In tabulating diflFerent establishments 

 around Portland it is found that White 

 Enchantress is not extensively grown, 

 as it is not a good keeper and not a 

 clear white. White Perfection and 

 Lady Bountiful are far preferable for 

 all uses. In shell pink Enchantress 

 is leader, with Pink Delight a close 

 rival. Victory, while a poor producer, 

 is the finest of its color.
