I noticed was Bauhinia Galpinii, a su- 

 perb vine, covered with showy red 

 flowers. Most of the bauhinias here 

 are of shrubby or tree-like habit, but 

 this one is scrambling over a house that 

 must be at least thirty feet high. In 

 the pinetum are some splendid speci- 

 mens of Picea Pinsapo, which does not 

 usually do well in this vicinity. A 

 dipladenia in full bloom outside is some- 

 thing of a rarity even in this favored 

 spot, but it is to be seen here with 

 magnificent flowers, as good as any ever 

 grown in a greenhouse. A cactus gar- 

 den has thousands of different species 

 and varieties. In herbaceous plants, 

 also, there is a fine showing. There 

 are about forty acres in the dressed 

 grounds, and in every yard of space 

 there seems to be something interesting. 



"What might have been a serious if 

 not a fatal accident to a woman passen- 

 ger of a jitney bus here was avoided 

 by the presence of mind of S. Murata. 

 Mr. Murata was driving home on 

 Stephenson avenue, when a worAan got 

 out of a jitney on the wrong side, forc- 

 ing him to run on to the car line to 

 avoid hitting her. A street car struck 

 ms machine, smashing it pretty badly, 

 but, fortunately, no one was hurt much. 

 Mr. Murata escaped with rather a se- 

 vere shaking up. 



The Golden Floral Co., on Wall street, 

 IS an organization that was formed some 

 years ago to handle the product of a 

 number of local growers who had previ-

ously peddled their stock around town. 

 From a small beginning the company 

 has gone ahead until now it handles 

 the entire output of about 150 growers 

 and the store is a busy place during the 

 rush hours of the morning. It is said 

 the company has shipped stock with 

 good results as far east as Chicago, this, 

 presumably, being specially prepared 

 for the long journey. Daily shipments 

 are made to San Francisco and other 

 northern points and some stock is also 

 shipped to the warmer regions east of 

 us. 



It was with a good deal of surprise 

 that the trade heard that John Gordon, 

 for fourteen years manager for Morris 

 Goldenson, had severed his connection 

 there. Mr. Gordon joined the staff at 

 Frank Lichtenberg's August 1. 



The L. A. Floral Co. says shipping 

 business is exceptionally good for this 

 time of year. A good deal of stock is 

 being shipped from here to Utah points. 



C. W. Kavan, of the Kavan Nurseries, 

 at San Bernardino, has been calling on 

 the local trade this week.

some of the finest dahlias and gladioli 

 seen this season are now being shown.. 

 The Golden West dahlia is particularly 

 fine. 



Tony Tassano, of Tassano Bros., say* 

 business is dull in flowers, but good lo- 

 cally in greens. Bernard Tassano is na 

 longer connected with his brothers here^ 

 having joined the staff of the H. N. 

 Gage Co. 



A call recently on W. Armacost & Co.,^ 

 at Sawtelle, showed that the new house» 

 were practically finished, only a little 

 more glass having to be laid. When all 

 is done, it will be one of the largest 

 places in southern California. From 

 small beginnings a few years ago, Mr. 

 Armacost has built up a splendid busi- 

 ness and continual improvements are be- 

 ing made. The roses are already plant- 

 ed in the new houses and becoming well
