THE BEST RED CARNATION 



RESULTS ARE WHAT COUNT! 



WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also WINNER of the SAME 

 MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS. 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis, 

 1916. It has never been beaten at uny exhibition. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the 

 flower is 3^s inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers 

 grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the En- 

 chantress family. It has a spicy odor, much greater than the average Carnation. It comes in full flower by the 

 1st of December and then continues steadily through the balance of the season. 



Booted cuttings now ready for delivery. 



Price of the rooted cuttings is (]2.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500 at the 1000 rate price. 



Every cutting guaranteed strong and well rooted. 



We have 1600 plants growing in our greenhouses at Hollywood, Cal., devoted exclusively to rooted cuttings. 



Orders for Pacific Coast States will please be sent to our Western Branch, 

 care of E. B. Washburn, 252 South Orange Grove Avenue, Pasadena, Cal.

LOS ANGELES NOTES. 



[Oontinaed from page 96.] 

 for instance, are excellent, producing 

 lovely foliage and such superb blooms 

 as are seldom or never seen under glass. 

 Mr. Turner reports the biggest ship- 

 ping season he ever had. 



Business continues brisk with the 

 nursery department of the Germain 

 Seed & Plant Co. and several new land- 

 scape contracts have been secured. 

 Finely flowered plants of rhododen- 

 drons are now being sent in from the 

 nursery on the Whittier road. These 

 meet with a ready demand, both whole- 

 sale and retail. Preparation and plant- 

 ing of more ground is still going on. 



The Los Angeles Floral Co. reports 

 out-of-town shipping as keeping up re- 

 markably well, though the city trade 

 has not been so good last week. 



The Redondo Floral Co. obtained a 

 large shipment of lilacs from the 

 Blumve ranch last week. These were 

 tastefully grouped in the window of 

 the store on Seventh street. As a bor- 

 der for the display, forget-me-nots, Ce- 

 cile Brunner roses and white camellias 

 were arranged in the new hand-carved 

 Swiss vases. This window was greatly 

 admired and much commented on by 

 eastern visitors and Californians who 

 have lived in the east, as it reminded 

 them of their old homes where the 

 lilacs flourish. And, speaking of lilacs, 

 I have never seen them do so well in 

 California as this season. Possibly the 

 wet January kept the buds swelling and 

 soft, but, whatever the reason, the re- 

 sult is most satisfactory. 



H. Reeve Darling is making a good 

 showing and says business is keeping
