the week was the sweet pea, some splen- 

 did flowers having been on the mar- 

 ket. Gladioli are increasing in quan- 

 tity and improving in quality. Herba- 

 ceous and hardy stock generally is in 

 good supply. Koses are poor in quality, 

 extremely poor, in fact, for tlie season, 

 and the price is down. A large quan- 

 tity of outdoor stock was on the mar- 

 ket and really was better tlian stock 

 grown indoors. Carnations are of fair 

 quality but not first-class, and there are 

 enough of them to go around. In the 

 retail stores funeral work lias been the 

 principal outlet for flowers and energy, 

 some good work liaving materialized. A 

 few weddings also have helped out. The 

 greens situation is clearing a little, but 

 there does not seem to be any great 

 supply in sight. 



Various Notes. 



George W. Eisclien was a visitor last 

 week, looking up stock for his new 

 store at Ocean I'ark. Mr. Eischen is 

 well i)leased with the business already 

 done and says it is keeping up reinark- 

 ablj' well. 



George W. Smith lias made many im- 

 provements in his store at Seventh and 

 .Figueroa streets. The new nursery at 

 Beverley Hills is taking shape, a fine 

 new lath house having been completed. 

 The Wall street place is gradually be- 

 ing cleared out and the stock is being 

 removed to the new location as fast as 

 possible. 



There is a good deal of local interest 

 in a new rose called Los Angeles. It is 

 being sent out by Howard & Smith. It 

 is one of a number of seedlings grown 

 at the nurseries of this firm, not unlike 

 Willowmere in general appearance. It 

 attracted attention at a flower show 

 held at the Ninth and Olive streets 

 store, which, by the way, is one of a 

 series of clever advertising stunts ar- 

 ranged by Fred Howard. \yhiie no 

 doubt they get the i)rincipal advantage 

 of this advertising,, it is a good thing 

 for the trade all around, as it engenders 

 an interest in floriculture generally, the 

 value of which can hardly be overesti- 

 mated. 



Murata & Co. have been ship2:)ing an 

 exceptionally fine line of America gladi- 

 oli and other popular varieties. They 

 rejtort business fine for this season. 



The California Cut Flower & Ever- 

 green Co. will be well supplied for Me- 

 morial day business. The Mrs. Francis 

 King gladioli offered here are of excep- 

 tional merit.

were the best paying crop with many thousands of growers who have purchased 

 my seed in time. They have received the highest awards at the National Flower 

 Show in Philadelphia and in New York, the Gold Medal of Honor at San Fran- 

 cisco, the Gold Medal in San Diego World's Fair. 



New list of over 60 best commercial varieties will be mailed in June. If you 

 are not already on our books, send your name in.

lately of Fullerton, but more recently 

 of Tucson, Ariz., where he had {jone to 

 try to regain his health. Mr. Fellows 

 came here from the east many years 

 ago and invested in land, as well as 

 running a nursery and florists' busi- 

 ness. He was for a time connected with 

 the L. A. Floral Co. A genial, com- 

 panionable man, well versed in horti- 

 culture and kindred topics, he will be 

 missed by the many friends he made 

 while here. His wife survives. The 

 remains were brought from Tucson to 

 Fullerton for interment. 



Fine business for the season is the 

 report of the Los Angeles Floral Co. 

 The excellent system of packing and 

 icing followed here and the careful tim- 

 ing of shipments to meet trains make 

 the long-distance work successful. 



H. AV. Turner has put a new, hand- 

 some delivery car on the road. The 

 color is the same as that of the rest 

 of the equipment and the only decora- 

 tion is his trade-mark, as used in his 

 advertising. 



The Radiance rose has proved a mag- 

 nificent outdoor variety in the nur- 

 series of the Germain Seed & Plant Co.

A block of several thousand plants that 

 have been in full flower for over two 

 months has attracted much attention. 



Koeding & Wood, having sold the 

 stock at the Laguna nursery, are clear-
