PACIFIC COAST. 



PORTLAND, OBE. 



The Market. 



Business of the last week was varied. 

 Funeral work was the principal item, 

 and of the variety that called for the 

 best grade of stock. With a few days 

 of sunshine wonders have been wrought 

 in bringing out the flowers. Carnations 

 are almost perfection, and the best sell- 

 ing commodity on the market. Home- 

 grown violets are coming in nicely and 

 gradually are displacing California 

 stock. Spring flowers, such as hyacinths, 

 tulips and daffodils, are used principally 

 in table decorations. 



With the advance of spring the cata- 

 logue departments are unusually busy, 

 which necessitates additional help. St. 

 Johns, a suburb of Portland, designated 

 Washington's birthday as the official 

 rose planting day, with a celebration, 

 music and speech-making. 



Various Notes. . 



Henry Penn, of Boston, who is on an 

 extended western trip, was greatly en- 

 thused over the thrift of the cities of 

 the northwest. 



Sam B cake is confined at home on ac- 

 count of sickness, but shows a steady 

 improvement. 



Clarke Br68. had an unusual day last 

 week, when they were called on for 

 two casket covers, one of violets and 

 the other of carnations and lilies. 



Martin & Forbes had a large decora- 

 tion countermanded, at the last moment, 

 on account of a death in the family, 

 after all stock had been secured, in- 

 cluding 1,000 strings of smilax. This is 

 an unpleasantness that the florist is 

 often called upon to bear. E. E. C. 



SAN FBANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The weather has moderated some- 

 what in this vicinity and, although the 

 nights are a bit frosty, the days are 

 quite warm. The effect is noticeable 

 in the amount of stock being brought 

 into town, and with a continuance of 

 the sunshine we may look for plenty 

 of blossoms in the near future. The 

 prices, too, are considerably lower than 

 those in vogue a few days ago. Carna- 

 tions are cheaper by fully twenty per 

 cent, and roses show an inclination 

 along the same lines. 



Violets are rather plentiful again, 

 but the quality is commencing to show 

 the lateness of the season, and with the 

 advent of warmer weather they will be 

 more flabby and of poorer color than 

 they are now. Valley is in fair supply, 

 of good color and form, and moves well. 

 Easter lilies, from all appearances, will 

 be in suflicient quantity to fill all re- 

 quirements. Tulips are not selling as 

 well as some of the growers would like. 

 Daffodils seem to be a shade scarcer. 

 They are in good demand at from $1 

 to $2.50 per hundred. Fruit blossoms 

 are not yet in their prime, but the' pub- 

 lic seems not to tire of them and they 

 will be as popular as of old. Maidenhair 

 ferns, both the greenhouse stock and 

 the wild sorts, are not overplentiful, 

 and smilax is quite a scarce article. 

 Other kinds of stock are as usual. 



New Red Dahlia 



Mrs. Minna Burgle 



A cross between Joe Thomson and Clown, 

 oritrinuted by Mr. J. Burgle of fruitvale, Cal., 

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

 the best Red Detorative Dahlia ever produced 

 and will supersede all other red varieties now 

 grown for cut flowers here or abroad. It draws 

 your attention instantly when planted in a col- 

 lection of Dahlias, for it is one of the most showy 

 flowers ever created. True decorative, blight 

 scarlet, showing a darker shading in center, bold 

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

 cellent stem, foliage of remarkable substance, 

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

 in hot weather, and is a freer bloomer than either 

 parent. This variety has been tested by me for 

 three yearx and has shown no weak points. 



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

 of them exhibited by Sievers Floral Co., of San 

 Francisco, both carried first prizes in the fall 

 Flower Show in San Francisco, and caused more 

 comment among gardeners and visitors than any 

 other exhibit. Cut flowers sold for the tlrst time 

 last year brought 50 per cent more than any other 

 vaiiety of dahlias, including Joe Thomson.
