PLANT NOTES. 

 Paper White narcissus is one of 

 isl valuable winter dowers and 



1,1 be brought into bloom as eat Ij ■< 

 Novembei 1st, bj starting the bulbs v\ ith 



a good watering in August. We di t 



force them under glass in California as 

 ih"\ bloom so freely outside that it 



does not pay. They multiply about thr 



fold each year and should be transplant- 

 ed about every third or fourth season. I 

 have seen a patch rc.ntainiii"- over one 

 hundred thousand tlinveriii" hnll.s mi a 

 piece of ground loss than an acre in size. 

 The price of bulbs has fallen so much 

 here during the last few years that the 

 finest could be had at from $2.50 to $3 

 per thousand this season. The price of 

 the cut blooms will average about 50 

 cents per hundred during the season. 



There is hardn am Bale for any of the 

 other varieties of white or yellow nar- 

 cissus except at verj lew prices. I have 

 found the Sir Watk'in daffodil to l.e the 

 l"--t |'.m ing variety we have grow n dux- 

 mg the last two seasons, h does not

dahlias. The do,

I planted. Free- 



• i '■ well, for they are of the 



easiest ■ ilture and require but little 



room. They wholesale at from 

 $1 to $1.50 per hundred stems. Bulbs 

 could be bought this season at *2 per 

 thousand in Los Anu'-l's. 



No one in California pretends to force 

 are only a back-yard 

 Bower with us. and can only be sold' for 

 Easter decoration or Decoration Day 

 shipments to some inter, or p a] 

 country. 



Gladioli pay fairly well, as they are 

 a flower that can be grow ,, in 

 place, and, all • rarelj 



wholesale to, re than $1' per hundred 



they multiply so rapidly that if there is 

 any sale for them at all it seems all 

 profit. The Bride gladiolus flowers about 

 the middle of April, when grown out- 

 side, and is one of out 

 rieties. The other sorts bloom from May 

 until the end of October. 



Ranunculus, anemones, ixias. ^paiaxis 

 and crocus find no favor with the 

 here, and are only grown as gar-
