PACIFIC COAST. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business last week was nothing start- 

 ling; counter trade was normal and 

 funeral work kept down tbe surplus. 

 The continued sunshine is improving 

 matters wonderfully, yet the carnations 

 are a little off crop. Roses are unu- 

 sually scarce, with a heavy demand. 

 Violets are plentiful, but daffodils are 

 scarce and it is impossible to supply 

 the demand, although other spring flow- 

 ers are hard to move. 



Potted stock is plentiful, especially 

 tulips and hyacinths. The question of 

 greens is alarming; there is practically 

 no asparagus on the market and smilax 

 is running low; shipments from Cali- 

 fornia are usually of poor quality, being 

 grown on the outside. 



Sweet peas are becoming more plenti- 

 ful and bring top prices. 



Various Notes. 



C. C. Taylor, representing the Ken- 

 tucky Tobacco Product Co., of Louis- 

 ville, is calling on the trade this week. 



L. W. Judges, of North Yakima, 

 Wash., stopped over on his return trip 

 from the south. 



George Baldwin, of Carrillo & Bald- 

 win, Mamaroneck, N. Y., is in town. 



Waldo Rohnert, of Gilroy, Cal., also 

 is in town, talking sweet pea seed. 



Louis Goodfriend, representing Wer- 

 theimer Bros., is also here. E. R. C. 



SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



The weather last week was quite a 

 mixture of rain, hail, snow and drying 

 winds. As a consequence stock of all 

 kinds, with the possible exception of 

 violets, has been scarce. This has been 

 particularly noticeable with everything 

 in the lin^e of light-colored flowers and, 

 as there has been quite a bit of funeral 

 work distributed among the retailers, 

 much scurrying for roses and carnations 

 has resulted. A big wedding February 

 28 used all the orchids in town and 

 neighboring cities, as well as a goodly 

 assortment of other kinds of stock. Val- 

 ley is in fair supply and daffodils, al- 

 though showing the rough weather, are 

 in suflieient quantity to fill require- 

 ments. Narcissi are not abundant and 

 are quickly bought when brought to 

 town. Freesias are holding out well 

 and have proved to be a valuable flower 

 when all blossoms are only in limited 

 supply. 



We are looking for more moderate 

 weather and if the signs are correct 

 we shall be favored with it in a few 

 days. The fsct that Lent has arrived 

 will put a quietus on some lines of 

 trade for quite a while, but the funeral 

 orders do not show any signs of dimin- 

 ishing at present. 



Various Notes. 



J. C. Littlepage is erecting a range 

 of houses at Marine View, San Mateo 

 county. 



Arthur Simpson has accepted a posi- 

 tion as landscape gardener at the 

 Presidio. 



The committee of arrangements of the 



New Red Dahlia 



Mrs. Minna Burgle 



A cross between Joe Thomson and Clown, 

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

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

 the best Red Decorative Dahlia ever produced 

 and will supejsede all other red varieties now 

 grown for cut flowers here or abroad. It draws 

 your attenHoh instantly when planted in a col- 

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

 flowers ever created. True decorative, bright 

 scarlet, showing a darker shading in center, bold 

 erect flowers. 6 to 8 Inches in diameter, with ex- 

 cellent stem, foliage of remarkable substance. 

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

 in hot weather, and is a freer bloomer than either 

 parent. This variety has been tested by me for 

 three years and has shown no weak points. 



A vase of 50 blooms shown by me, also a basket 

 of them exhibited by Sievers Floral Co., of San 

 Francisco, both carried tint prizes in the Fall 

 Flower Show la San Francisco, and caused more 

 comment among gardeners and vibitors than any 

 other exhibit. Cut flowers sold for the Brst time 

 last year brought 50 per cent more than any other 

 variety of dahlias, including Joe Thomson.
