7he trade on the coast will be spseiafiy 

 interested in the illustration on psgiB 8, 

 since it shows two well-known Oaklaad 

 florists standing beside some of their 

 handiwork seen in the floral parade at 

 Portland, June 11. 



San Jose, Oal. — A. & E. Schlaudt, 

 proprietor of the business conducted un- 

 der the name of the San Jose Florist, at 

 638 to 644 North Second street, 1uh»» 

 opened a branch store at 144 South 

 Second street. 



Tb^DaUes, Ore. — M. C. Jewell & Son 

 say that business has been increasing 

 rapidly in the last year; although the 

 people complain of the high cost oei 

 living, it does not appear to affect thq 

 florists here. 



Los Angeles, Oal — ^Frank Wilkela, 

 says he has had an exceptionally bn^ 

 season. He has done a large shipping 

 business in chrysanthemum cuttings 

 through an advertisement in The Review 

 and is preparing to go extensively into 

 carnation cuttings for next season. 



San Diego, Oal.— Harry N. Daniel, 

 who sold his interest in the Crittenden 

 & Daniel greenhouses, at Waterloo, la., 

 last November, on account of pbmr 

 health, has come to this city to get well. 

 He intends to engage again in the flo- 

 rists ' business as soon as he recovers. 



San Diego, CaL — At the annual meet- 

 ing of the San Diego Floral Association, 

 June 13, the following board of direc- 

 ors was elected: L. A. Blochman, Mioa. 

 Kate O. Sessions, Miss Alice M. Bain- 

 ford, Guy T. Keene, George W. Mar- 

 ston, Julius Wangenheim and John Mor- 

 ley. 



Clarkston, Wash. — Mrs. J. M: Clear 

 says her business has increased fifty per 

 cent this year and that the future looks 

 bright. Mrs. Clear conducts her affairs 

 as the Clarkston Greenhouse, while Mr. 

 Clear does business as the Walnut Grove 

 Poultry Yard. They use a combination 

 letter-head. 



South Bend, Wash. — Smith Bros., pro- 

 prietors of the Riverview Greenhouses, 

 are planning the erection of a new 

 greenhouse, 40x200 feet. They started 

 in the florists' business about five years 

 ago with one house and found business 

 so plentiful that they have since built 

 two larger houses and made several ad- 

 ditions.

The Market. 



Trade is generally satisfactory. It 

 is a great deal less than last year, but 

 laat year was a boom year and could 

 not be expected to repeat itself. In- 

 door cut flowers are not overplentiful. 

 This is partly explained by the fact 

 that a greater proportion of the glass 

 here this year was devoted to vegeta- 

 bles. 



Good outdoor flowers are plentiful. 

 Iris Hispanica especially so. Sweet peas 

 are just coming in and will about flU 

 the bill after the roses are disposed of. 

 Peonies are suflScient for all demands 

 and are excellent in quality.

 vise anyoB» who thinks at coming to 

 the coast just now, with the intention 

 of finding a position in the trade, to go 

 carefully. A great deal of glowing lit- 

 erature is spread broadcast, but I am 

 afraid the actual conditions in some 

 cases are not what they are represented 

 to be. 



We are to have three good flower 

 shows this summer: The annual rose
