IX)S ANaELES. 



The Market. 



Stock has piled up considerably in 

 the retail stores and wholesale houses 

 this week. While the weather has not 

 been particularly hot, yet there seems 

 to be no life in the trade and funeral 

 work is the retailers' only salvation. 

 Boses are poor in color and substance 

 and are not worth the prices asked. 

 Carnations are much improved. Those 

 coming from new land in the foothill 

 sections are especially fine, while the 

 new-crop flowers from the beach loca- 

 tions are also good. Asters generally 

 are not so good as usual. Sweet peas 

 are keeping up well for this time of 

 year and a large quantity of all classes 

 of outdoor stock is to be had .cheaply. 

 Vacations, rather than business, are the 

 topic of discussion now. 



Various Notes. 



About forty members of the Los An- 

 geles County Horticultural Society sat 

 down to an elegant supper and smoker 

 July 8. President Felgate was in the 

 chair and provided* the cigars. As 

 usual on such occasions, little business 

 was talked of, but the perennial mat- 

 ter of a show in this city was again 

 brought up and E. Hunt, manager of 

 Hamburger's flower department, asked 

 for the society's aid in holding a rose 

 show. No executive action . was taken, 

 but a pleasant time was spent. 



Manager W, Wern, of Wright's 

 Flower Shop, is starting on a vacation 

 trip in which he intends to visit iLake 

 Tahoe, driving from there over the 

 mountains to San Francisco and re- 

 turning by the coast route. He will be 

 accompanied by Mrs. Wern. 



Martin Beukauf, representing H. 

 Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, is 

 calling on the trade here this week. 



H. Ikeda, a prominent Japanese cut 

 flower grower, who consigns all his 

 stock to the Los Angeles Floral Co., 

 had the misfortune to lose his 6-months- 

 old boy this week. 



The Los Angeles Floral Co. is han- 

 dling the entire cut of the new pink 

 seedling carnation raised and grown by 

 Elgert & Martin, of Covina. This is a 

 medium-sized flower, but grand in color 

 and one of the most wonderful keepers 

 ever sent out. The "busiest place in 

 town" is the new description of this 

 store. 



A. F. Borden, of the Redondo Floral 

 Co., is taking a few days off and is 

 going into training for a real vacation 

 trip in the mountains later. Albert 

 Knopf leaves for San Diego this week 

 with his '.'Ford and family." Pete 

 Wilson, of this firm's staff, will leave 

 for a vacation next week. He will run 

 his machine to Frisco, where he ex- 

 pects to land on schedule time, but 

 ''man proposes" — and sometimes the 

 speed cop decides. Pete is known as 

 the original little speed cop dodger. 



H. W. Turner is now making streaks 

 with his little Oakland, painted the real 

 Turner color. The "bug" kicks up 

 dust, but does not show it. 



Murata & Co. are showing extra fine 

 new-crop carnations in all colors. The 

 newer shades of pink and rose are espe- 

 cially attractive. 



A visit to the Hills Nursery shows 

 the large new fern grown by Mr. Hills 

 in fine condition. It is a magnificent 

 grower and rapidly makes large plants. 

 So far Mr. Hills has not named it, as 

 he wishes to make sure that there is 

 nothing else in the market at all like it. 



Miss Kate Parsons, of Fresno, is on 

 a visit to this city. 



M. Lambert, the genial superintend- 

 ent of Elysian park, has left on an 

 extended trip north, having returned 

 from San Diego, where he spent a 

 week. Mr. Lambert is on a partly 

 pleasure and partly business trip, as he 



will inspect the various parks, ceme- 

 teries and nurseries en route. He pro- 

 poses going as far as Spokane at least, 

 and possibly farther. 



H. Reeve Darling has quit the old 

 store entirely and is now well estab- 

 lished in his new one. 



J. Morris, of the California Ever- 

 green Co., was under the weather a few 

 days last week, but is back on the 

 job again. J. Rolleri is always on 

 deck and the stock handled here is in 

 fine condition. H. R. Richards. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



' The Market. 



There prevails the usual lull in the 

 flower business and, with the exception 

 of funeral work and an occasional wed- 

 ding, there is nothing to relieve the 

 monotony. The supply of flowers is
