Spokane, Wash. — Peters & Sons have 

 contracted for the erection of two 

 greenhouses. 



Oakland, CaL — Another woman to 

 enter the florists' business is Miss May 

 Black, of 577 Forty-first street. 



Lents, Ore. — As August Weber was 

 about to start out in life, his father 

 imparted to him some paternal advice, 

 in which particular stress was laid on 

 the desirability of owning one's busi- 

 ness, though it were only a peanut 

 stand. Accordingly, after four years 

 of apprenticeship in the florists' busi- 

 ness, Mr, Weber has taken his father's 

 advice and launched a flower business 

 of his own. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



The "only florists' holiday" was en- 

 joyed by many of our wholesalers and 

 retailers by making trips to the ocean 

 or the mountains, and all reported an 

 excellent time. Vacation and holiday 

 feelings are in the air and the scribe 

 who goes around looking for news of 

 flowers and the flower business is likely 

 to be regaled with stories of big fish or 

 speed records. 



Stock piled up pretty rapidly last 

 week, in spite of a lot of funeral and 

 wedding work. In roses, fine stock 

 from the north continues to augment the 

 local supply and in many cases the 

 quality is equal, if not superior, to that 

 of the home-grown stock. Asters are 

 extra fine now and the purple known 

 as Elks' color is especially popular. 

 New-crop carnations also are making a 

 splendid showing, while dahlias, gla- 

 dioli and centaureas are here to burn. 

 Large shipments of northern greens 

 are arriving and it is difficult to see 

 what becomes of all the stock. 



Varlons Notes. 



Tassano Bros, are showing a fine line 

 of maidenhair ferns, grown in their new 

 nursery at Glendale. They report that 

 business is good in all classes of sup- 

 plies and evergreens. 



O. W. Saakes, familiarly known to 

 the trade as "Billy," left Los Angeles 

 July 1 for an automobile trip. He in- 

 tended to visit the San Diego fair, re- 

 maining in the city over the Fourth, 

 after which his movements would be 

 uncertain. 



Always pleasant and smiling, the 

 countenance of H. N. Gage has been so 

 particularly radiant the last few days 

 that one was tempted to seek the rea- 

 son. It was found in the 9-pound boy 

 that arrived in the Gage home last 

 week. Both mother and boy are thriv- 

 ing in the delightful air of Monterey 

 Park, until recently known as Monte- 

 bello. 



Murata & Co. are doing a thriving 

 business in carnations, gladioli and as- 

 ters. 



Wright's Flower Shop is making a 

 splendid show of stoc^ grown at the 

 Gardena range. While other growers 

 and retailers seem to be having trouble 

 over the valley situation, the stock at
