ing of the grounds of the Metropolitan 

 Building Co. He has shown excellent 

 taste in the planting of the various 

 beds. 



Fred Gust and Tom Hhoades, of the 

 Seattle Florists' Exchange, have ac- 

 quired possession of the Crescent Flower 

 Store. The place shows a great im- 

 provement and business is improving 

 under their management. 



J. A. Sahli recently purchased two 

 acres of fine land contiguous to York 

 station on the Seattle, Benton & South- 

 ern E. E., to which place he purposes 

 before long removing his business. 



Frank Bell has added a sawmill to 

 the plant at his place at Brighton. 



C. Hoffmeister was busy last week 

 planting a large number of window 

 boxes at the Bon Marche. 



H. E. Friday has a bumper crop of 

 tomatoes in his^ houses at Green Lake. 

 Getting good prices, too. That helps.

The Market. 



Though business for the week held 

 out. well and a quantity of stock was 

 moved, there is a surplus in all lines, 

 especially roses and carnations, which 

 are almost a drug on the market. How- 

 ever, conditions will soon change, as 

 the stock in the benches is being 

 thrown out rapidly, preparatory to re- 

 planting. Peonies are coming in fast; 

 the Festiva Maxima are especially fine. 

 The continued warm weather will soon 

 finish the cut and no effort is being 

 made here to hold them in storage, as 

 there is generally so plentiful a supply 

 that it would be hardly worth while. 

 Sweet peas are improving in quality; 

 there are few outdoor peas blooming. 

 There is a profusion of outdoor stock; 

 roses, espejpially, are in |;full bloom 

 everywhere. Poppies, gaillardias, del- 

 phiniums, Canterbury bells and irises 

 are also plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Weltz and wife leave this 

 week for his old home in Switzerland. 

 They will be gone for several months, 

 their visit including most of the Euro- 

 pean countries. 



The Portland Seed Co. recently had 

 several feet of water in its basement, 

 caused by the high waters of the Wil- 

 lamette river. All stock had been moved 

 to places of safety beforehand. 



The Mountain View Floral Co. has a 

 variety of perennials and annuals in 

 bloom, such as delphiniums, gaillardias, 

 irises and campanulas. 



George Betz has sold his greenhouses 

 and several acres of land at Gladstone 

 to his son, Joe Betz, who will improve 

 the place and grow a general line of 

 cut flowers. 



A. A. Barter has leased the range of 

 W. S. Sibson, who will conduct a whole- 

 sale business. Mr. Sibson will also 

 continue the nursery business, as in the 

 past. E. E. C. 



SAN DIEGO, CAIi. 



According to reports from florists 

 and nurserymen visited here, the 

 slump in business has not been nearly 

 as keenly felt as in other coast cities 

 and San Diego is undoubtedly rising 

 to fame as a flower town. As a con- 

 vention town, also, it seems to be be- 

 coming popular. On my recent visit 

 the Knights of Pythias were making 

 the place lively for everybody and were

evidently enjoying their stay here, 

 while other bodies are to meet here in 

 the near future. The exposition build- 

 ings are well in hand and everyone 

 tries to outdo the other in welcoming 

 the visitors. Funeral work has been 

 plentiful. In this line many of the 

 local florists now favor the set style 

 of pieces that used to be popular many 

 years ago. They may not be as artistic 

 as the looser style now in vogue, but 

 they are in demand by customers, so 

 this demand must be satisfied. 



One of the first "brave men" met 

 in the fine lobby of the U. S. Grant 

 hotel was the genial Charles Brazee, of 

 Wilmington, Cal., evidently as much 

 at home in piloting the fair ladies as 

 in growing the magnificent tulips and 

 other bulbous stock for which his place 

 is famous. 



Miss Eainford has evidently a good 

 share of the trade and all hands are 

 kept busy. A new store is to be opened 

 in the Arcade at once. Miss Eainford 

 handles choice stock in an up-to-date 

 way, this having much to do with her 

 success. She speaks favorably of the 

 recent flower show held here, strongly 

 praising the fine exhibits put up both 

 by local people and by Howard & Smith 

 and the Los Angeles Flower Market, 

 of the sister city.
