fair price and it will take a few days 

 of warm weather to make them plenti- 

 ful. Violets have disappeared until 

 next fall, and we may now turn our at- 

 tention to the outside stock, which will 

 soon make quite a showing. 



Various Notes. 



R. D. Fox, one of the pioneer dealers 

 of San Jose, is in town on a short visit. 



The buildings formerly occupied by 

 the H. M. Sanborn Co., on Fourteenth 

 street, Oakland, are being torn down to 

 make way for a 6-story office edifice. 



Pelicano, Rossi & Co. report a heavy 

 trade for Easter, both in local business 

 and in shipping. This enterprising firm 

 has just opened one of the finest stores 

 in town, on Kearney street. 



Leonard Coates, a well-known nur- 

 seryman of Morgan Hill, Cal., visited 

 San Francisco last week. G. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business last week was good, consid- 

 ering the quietude that usually follows 

 the Easter rush. What little stock was 

 left over was passed along at a fair 

 price. Funeral work forms the major 

 part of the trade, with an occasional 

 wedding. Garden flowers are used a 

 great deal in table decorations, utiliz- 

 ing home talent in arrangement. 



Roses are plentiful in every variety, 

 and it keeps the trade busy to dispose 

 of them without a loss. Carnations are 

 also in full crop, but the change in 

 the weather has affected their keeping 

 qualities. Sweet peas are improving 

 in quality and increasing in quantity. 

 Violets are almost out of the market. 



Various Notes. 



Last week being kermess week, there 

 was quite a call for bouquets and 

 basket arrangements. In fact, during 

 the last day or two it was almost im- 

 possible to fill all orders. 



Godfrey Aschmann, the Busy Bee 



Is more active than ever 



LOOK! BARGAINS! 



I am ready to execute every order in bedding: plants promptly, 

 having 10 houses and an equal number of hotbeds, with every hole 

 and crack full of bedding plants alone.

MeutioD The Review wii^n you write 



Clarke Bros, have purchased a tract 

 of ground at Hillsboro, Ore., and are 

 erecting several large greenhouses, 

 which will be devoted to roses and car- 

 nations. The soil, fuel supply and 

 transportation facilities combine to 

 make this an ideal location. 



Arnold Ringier, representing the W. 

 W. Barnard Co., Chicago, is in town. 



He reports business quite satisfactory. 



John Broetje, of Mount Tabor, leaves 

 this week for an extended trip to 

 Europe. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. had a ship- 

 ment of Beauties sent from Chicago. 

 They came through in perfect condi- 

 tion and realized good prices in the 

 local market. E. R. C.
