threshing sweet peas, about forty acres 

 of which were grown on the Whittier 

 road holdings of this concern. The 

 plants when in bloom made a wonder- 

 ful showing from the road, the careful 

 roguing followed out sharpening the 

 lines between the different varieties. 

 Retail business is keeping up well in 

 the nursery and seed departments. 



Business is reported good with Stai- 

 ger & Fincken. Stock in fine shape is 

 coming in from the Lomita place to the 

 sales yard on Washington street. 



Everyone seems busy at George W. 

 Smith's place at Seventh and Figueroa 

 streets. Wedding and funeral work 

 was in the hands of the men. Mr. Smith 

 puts in a good deal of time at the new 

 nursery on Sunset boulevard.

The Market. 



^ood roses are becoming scarce and 

 everything of this item cleans up fairly 

 well. There is a decided shortage of 

 Beauties. Of the other varieties, 

 Ophelia, Ward, Russell and Prima 

 Donna showjgood quality, notwithstand- 

 ing several days of warm weather. Few 

 complaints are heard, as the market has 

 been well supplied with a fine crop for 

 several months and sales have been 

 large. Carnations were affected by the 

 warm weather to a certain extent, but 

 the fact excited little comment, as they

had been in slack demand and cheap. 

 Chinese growers are bringing in great 

 quantities of sweet peas and few asters. 

 Good sweet peas find a ready market, 

 but it is diflScult to move inferior stock 

 at any price. 



The supply of gladioli is falling off 

 a little, but the market still is flooded 

 with several varieties of this flower. 

 Niagara and Panama bring good prices, 

 but Francis King and America are low- 

 priced. Some tule cat-tails are appear- 

 ing in the market and the offerings find 

 a limited sale at fair prices. Tritoma 

 is plentiful and clears regularly. Many 

 dahlias are to be had, but they move 

 rather slowly. Fine specimens of sun- 

 flowers are largely featured, some of 

 them having stems six and one-half feet 

 long. Good zinnias find a ready outlet. 

 Snapdragon and statice are in ample 

 supply, as well as many other summer 

 flowers. A few growers have a good 

 cut of rubrum and auratum lilies, but 

 there is no oversupply, as they move 

 well. Cattleyas still are in light supply. 

 Gardenias are off crop, but they will be 

 coming on again in about two weeks.

An early variety of chrysanthemum has 

 caused a sensation and the growers have 

 no difficulty in disposing of all the 

 blooms brought in. The appearance of 

 a few violets at this early date also 

 came as a surprise, the limited sup- 

 ply being snapped up by a few buyers.
