quired. A good deal of work still re- 

 mains to be done, but a good start has 

 been made in what will be a perfectly- 

 laid out nursery. 



Bapid progress has been made with 

 the new greenhouses at the range of 

 Walter Armacost & Co., at Sawtelle. 

 At the time of writing, three of the 

 new houses are ready for the glass and 

 two others will be ready shortly. The 

 replanting of the new rose stock is fin- 

 ished, 10,000 young plants having been 

 set in the new houses. When all are 

 complete, the new additions will just 

 about double the area this firm has. in 

 glass. 



Frank Lichtenberg reports a more 

 than usually good prospect for June 

 weddings, as inquiries and orders are 

 coming in freely. As soon as possible, 

 he expects to tear out the interior deco- 

 rations in the store and change it en- 

 tirely, making it one of the most at- 

 tractive stores in the country. He also 

 intends to take an eastern trip this 

 year. 



H. W. Turner is completing a collec- 

 tion of fine conifers and flowering 

 shrubs around the greenhouses, a most 

 interesting and attractive feature. Sev- 

 eral lines and beds of the newer poly- 

 antha roses also give an excellent 

 chance to compare these and find out 

 wlich are best for this climate. Under 

 glass everything is in fine shape and 

 the newly planted stock is growing 

 rapidly. 



H. Keeve Darling is trying out the 

 effect of a flower store on the eleventh 

 floor in the exclusive Brock Shoppes, 

 on West Seventh street. His new store 

 on Sixth street is also attractive, being 

 well lighted and containing an elegant 

 line of fixtures. Business • is reported 

 as fine here. H. E. Richards.

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

rially. White carnations were in par- 

 ticularly heavy demand, despite the ef- 

 forts of the trade to shift the call in 

 other directions. So great was the pop- 

 ularity of white carnations that prices 

 jumped from 25 cents to $1.25 per 

 dozen. 



The weather has been freakish in 

 certain sections of California this sea- 

 son, which has inconvenienced the grow- 

 ers and nurserymen more or less, though 

 no large damage is reported. The heavy 

 frosts early in the month did some 

 damage to flowers, but this was com- 



paratively light. The long drought has 

 been hard on nursery stock. 



Many weddings and funerals made 

 business fairly active last week. Noth- 

 ing was too plentiful, unless it was 

 rOses. They continued to flood the mar- 

 ket, but a lighter supply is expected 

 from now on, as some of the growers 

 are drying their rose plants. Most of 

 them will keep going until Decoration 

 day, however. There are so many roses 

 of excellent quality in all varieties that 

 the shorter-stemmed stock is hard to 

 dispose of. Street venders are offering'
