PACIFIC COAST. 



Santa Cruz, Cal. — W. E. King will 

 have a good cut of asparagus for 

 Christmas. 



Menlo Park, Cal.— M. Lynch has 

 some very large chrysanthemums, West- 

 ern King being the largest among the 

 whites. Outside bloom is early this sea- 

 son. 



Elmhurst, Cal. — A." Massey has just 

 put in a new heater. His stock is in 

 extra fine form, carnations especially. 

 Estelle, Enchantress, Cressbrook, Bill 

 and Prosperity are the varieties grown. 

 His Prosperity are grand and sold last 

 winter at $1.25 per dozen. 



San Francisco — Ferrari Bros, have 

 just completed a new engine house of 

 concrete and installed three new steam 

 boilers, in all 200 horse-power, oil bur- 

 ners. They are now receiving from Eu- 

 rope large shipments of bulbs and other 

 stock. At the greenhouses of John H. 

 Sievers & Co. the orchids are beautiful 

 now. So are the carnations. Hanna Ho- 

 bart holds her own, but Adolpli Spreckcl<; 

 is right after her. Both are aristocrats. 

 The former will make her debut in 1905. 

 the latter will be held in subjection lon- 

 ger. Another new house has just been 

 completed at this place. Cox & Co. have 

 a fine lot of Australian tree seedlings in 

 great varieties. They appear to be very 

 successful in handling this stock. 



SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 



Carnations. 

 Eedondo, famed for its fine carnations, 

 is about to increase its output. A com- 

 pany is being formed that will put in 

 thirty acres, so by this time next year 

 the stores of Los Angeles will be better 

 supplied than in the past. 



The Eedondo Floral Co. has several 

 acres planted from which blooms are 

 cut the whole year, which is not possible 

 anvwhere except in southern California. 

 This company also has two houses, each 

 15x200, planted to carnations, and doing 

 well. 



Henry Flieder, who made the carna- 

 tions of Redondo famous, has his acres 

 in fine shape, and is cutting fine blooms. 

 He is still adding to his prosperity and 

 popularity among the craft. 



Mr. TVolfskill, another Eedondo grow- 

 er, has moved to Los Angeles where- 

 he has built several houses which he has 

 planted to carnations that are comiDg 

 along in grand shape under the skillful 

 handling of Mr. Joe Watson, which goes 

 to prove that carnations can be grown 

 under-glass just as well in Los Angeles 

 as in San Francisco or New York. 



The Ocean Park Floral Co. is another 

 firm growing out. of door carnations ou 

 a large scale. Their gardens are located 

 at Santa Monica, where the climate and 

 soil is the same as at Eedondo. 



The difference in soil is so great that 

 carnations cannot be as successfully 

 grown in Los Angeles as in Eedondo in 

 the open field. The Eedondo soil is hard 

 to describe and it is harder to under- 

 stand how it can have the vitality which 

 it certainly has. It contains no clay, or 

 even what vou might call loam. It- re- 

 sembles sea' sand except that it is dark 

 brown in color. Its value lies in the fact 

 that it is composed of minute particles
