Subscribers on the Pacific coast 

 should not fail to note that their spe- 

 cial department of The Beview has 

 grown until it now occupies five pages. 

 Give us a boost and the Pacific Coast 

 Department will keep right on growing. 



Spokane, Wash. — A burglar recently 

 <Mitered the Ziegler Flower Store, at 8 

 Jiincoln street, by forcing the door, 

 and escaped with the contents of the 

 i-.ish drawer. 



San Mateo, Cal. — The MacRorie-Mc- 

 Ijaren Co. has recently received a great 

 deal of local newspaper publicity be- 

 <ause of a shipment of orchid plants to 

 England for the nobility. 



Eugene, Ore. — R. Eae & Son are plan- 

 ning to make large additions to their 

 greenhouses on West Eighth street. 

 They will erect several more houses and 

 otherwise improve the place. 



Bakersfield, Cal.— C. D. Oldershaw, of 

 '2G07 Chester lane, has charge of the 

 work of planting the shrubs and trees 

 in the grounds surrounding the new 

 <iourthouse. It is said that two car- 

 loads of stock will be used. 



Mountain View, Cal. — Richard Diener 

 has been at work for a long time on 

 the production of new plants. His most 

 l)romising novelty, he thinks, is Car- 

 nation California, which probably will 

 1>e introduced at an early date. Wm. 

 Metzner is a partner in the enterprise 

 of Diener & Co. 



Bellingham, Wash. — At a recent meet- 

 ing of the Western Washington Horti- 

 lultural Association, held in this city, 

 the following officers were elected: 

 President, C. J. Stuart, of Monroe; vice- 

 president, C. E. Flynt, of this city; sec- 

 retary, J. Wayland, of Clarke county; 

 treasurer, John A. Stewart, of Chris- 

 topher. Puyallup was chosen as the 

 place of the next meeting, to be held 

 sometime in November. 



LOS ANGELES, CAL. 



The Market. 



There is a decidedly better tone to 

 business since the rain, and stock in 

 all lines is cleaning up regularly. The 

 ■outdoor flowers have suffered somewhat 

 and it has been difficult to gather them, 

 and this has been all in favor of in- 

 ■door flowers. The fashion show in the 

 large stores has led to a demand for 

 quite a large quantity of greens, mostly 

 asparagus strings, and the cheaper 

 grades of flowers, while many palms 

 and other large plants have been rented 

 out for the occasion. 



Greenhouse carnations are fine and in 

 full supply. Roses are fairly plentiful, 

 good reds being in shortest supply. 

 Daffodils are everywhere and tulips are 

 coming more plentifully, with longer 

 and better stems. Valley is in better 

 supply and of superior quality to that 

 shown of late. Orchids run along about 

 even with the demand, but the quality 

 is not first-rate. Cattleya Schroederse 

 and Phalsenopsis amabilis are the most 

 plentiful and are more frequently seen 

 than any others. Acacia and other 

 boughs are not so much shown. The 



call for sniilax is not so good as that 

 for other greens. In pot plants fine 

 azaleas, rhododendrons and assorted 

 bulb stock are shown, but the demand 

 is not great. The Japanese azaleas 

 shown are simply a mass of flowers and 

 these sell on sight, only a few being 

 offered. 



Various Notes. 



Tassano Bros, expect the first arrivals 

 of outdoor roses from their ranch in a 

 few days. They are looking grand and 

 are probably as good as any in southern 

 California. Business in all lines is good 

 here. 



Howard & Smith report that nursery 

 stock has been mdving rapidly since 

 the rains. A feature just beginning 

 at their Montebello nurseries is the 

 large block of their seedling amaryllis, 

 or hippeastrum. They have been work- 

 ing with this species of plants for sev- 

 eral years and have the cream of all 

 varieties. Their own seedlings, as they 

 come in line, show a marked superiority 

 even over the best European named 

 stock, and from now until June 1 or 

 thereabouts the nursery will be well 

 worthy a visit for this feature alone. 



Good work, carried out in the best 

 style with flowers of best quality, is 

 the rule with the Hayward Floral Co., 

 and this, combined with a good location, 

 accounts for the large and constantly 

 increasing business here. 

 "At the establishment of the H. N. 

 Gage Co., daffodils from under lath 

 have been moving well, the flowers 

 being large, clean and on good, stiff 



stems. Tulips and other spring flowers 

 are being handled in large quantities, 

 and also excellent valley. 



Business is booming at the Roserie, 

 several large decorations having been 

 carried out of late. Mr. Muller recently 

 returned from a week's stay on tho 

 desert, where Mrs. Muller still has to 

 stay. 



At the Standard Pottery a big run 

 on the large bowls is reported. These 

 are fine, well finished goods, in which 

 the firm takes great pride. The ordi 

 nary pots as made here are light and 

 strong, and for this reason are fine 

 for shipping long distances. 



A. F. Borden reports business as 

 keeping up well. He has been showing 

 elegant pot hyacinths, while the quality 

 of the carnations being shipped in 

 from his Hollywood greenhouses is of 

 the best. 



Funeral work still keeps the staff at 

 Morris Goldenson's on the rush. The 

 Japanese azaleas shown here are mar- 

 vels of good culture and show the value 

 of this section. 



Early orders for young pot roses 

 are being filled at Dieterich & Turner's
