PACIFIC Coast Department 



San Diego, Cal. — A. Darnaud has ob- 

 tained a permit to build an iron-frame 

 greenhouse at 702 Market street, at a 

 cost of $2,000. 



Pendleton, Ore. — S. H. Forshaw is 

 identified with the new floral society 

 which is planning to hold a rose show 

 this year. Only amateurs will be per- 

 jnitted to compete for the prizes. 



Wenatchee, Wash. — Walter G. Dun- 

 gey and A. E. Clark have formed a 

 business partnership to grow bedding 

 plants, cut flowers and vegetables. They 

 have 21x120 feet under glass now and 

 will add to their plant during the 

 summer. 



Spokane, Wash. — At the meeting of 

 the Spokane Horticultural Society, 

 , May 13, H. E. Reimer 'spoke on the sub- 

 ject, "Summer Bedding Plants and 

 Garden Work. ' ' Final plans were made 

 for a flower show to be held during the 

 Pow Wow in June. 



Seno, Nev. — T. A. Ross has applied 

 to the courts for an injunction against 

 Fred J. Fischer, on the plea that Mr. 

 Fischer has broken an agreement in re- 

 engaging in the florists' trade. Mr. 

 Fischer alleges that he is entirely within 

 his rights in resuming business. 



Sherwood, Ore. — A. I. Anderson, for- 

 merly in business here as a landscape 

 gardener, has sold his land and other 

 property, including the stock of roses, 

 grafted lilacs, etc., to J. G. Bacher, of 

 the Swiss Floral Co., Portland, Ore. 

 Mr. Bacher has named his new estab- 

 lishment the Swiss Floral Nursery. Mr. 

 Anderson has removed to Portland. 



San Francisco, Cal. — The matter of 

 eliminating street flower venders has 

 been brought to the attention of the 

 retail committee of the San Francisco 

 Downtown Association by the Califor- 

 nia Retail Flower Association and ac- 

 tion is expected within a few days. 

 The florists hope to get valuable assist- 

 ance in their efforts to end this form 

 of competition. 



Pasadena, Cal. — Among those injured 

 in the collapse of the Auditorium dur- 

 ing the Empire day celebration at Long 

 Beach, Cal., May 24, were Mr. and Mrs. 

 Richard Thomas, of 308 North Steven- 

 son avenue, Pasadena, well known on the 

 coast as expert chrysanthemum growers. 

 Miss Sadie Thomas did not go to the 

 beach with her parents, thus escaping 

 injury and possible death. Mrs. 

 Thomas is suffering from a broken col- 

 lar-bone, while Mr. Thomas is badly 

 bruised. 



LOS ANGELES, CAL. 



The Market. 



Not much improvement can be chron- 

 icled in business as yet, though a few 

 early weddings have helped to enliven 

 things a little. Spanish irises are over, 

 but gladioli are filling their place, the 

 pretty little Peach Blossom being an 

 especial favorite. Mrs. P^ancis King 

 and the old Brenchleyensis make a 

 bright and telling show. Carnations 

 from under glass keep up in quality and 

 quantity, the cool weather suiting them 



well. The outdoor stock is fair. Out- 

 door roses are a little scarcer and the 

 quality is only fair, except in the case 

 of the Brunners, which are good. In- 

 door roses are poor, except in a few in- 

 stances. Centaureas are in good de- 

 mand, but there is plenty to fill all or- 

 ders. The weather has been so cool 

 that shipping, even to distant points, 

 has been perfectly satisfactory; the only 

 trouble is that there has not been 

 enough of it. 



Asparagus plumosus and maidenhair 

 ferns have been a little on the scarce 

 side. Sprengeri is plentiful. Boston 

 and Whitmani ferns are decidedly 

 scarce, both in small sizes for shipping 

 and in salable plants. The old sword 

 ferns are becoming more in evidence, 

 Nephrolepis tuberosa and N. exaltata 

 being seen in quantity. Quite a number 

 of small coleuses have been offered, as 

 well as pretty little heliotrope plants, 

 verbenas and other small items. Small 

 ferns for dishes are in short supply. 



Various Notes. - ,.*-? 



Ed. Rust, of the Palm Nurseries, 

 South Pasadena, slipped when alighting 

 from his automobile a short time ago 

 and has been confined to the house for a 

 while, but is out again now. At the 

 nurseries some fine newly imported cat- 

 tleyas are being potted, and these, with 

 the plants already grown, will make an 

 excellent collection. 



H. Plath, of San Francisco, left for 

 home May 20 with a full order book, 

 after a pleasant time here. 



Robert Schenck is no longer with 

 Morris Goldenson, on Third street, Oscar 

 Paseman, lately of the Darling staff, 

 having taken his place. 



A baby girl arrived recently at the 

 home of H. E. Hansen, of the staff at 

 Wright's Flower Shop. 



Coolidge's Rare Plant Gardeiis, at 

 Pasadena, are always interesting, owing 

 to the number of unusual things to be
