LOS ANaELES. 



The Maxket. 



Several of the hottest days on record 

 occurred last week, the temperature 

 going up to 108 degrees in the shade, 

 five feet from the ground, in Monte- 

 bello. This is most "unusual," but, as 

 everyone knows, we get a lot of "un- 

 usual" weather out here. Naturally, 

 with such a temperature, there has been 

 little doing outside of funeral work, 

 but this has kept up and helped to re- 

 duce the surplus stock. 



Outside of carnations, gladioli and 

 asters, all the flowers have a tired look. 

 Boses are extremely poor and even 

 dahlias and other hardy flowers are of 

 poor texture and wilt easily and quick- 

 ly. Many well known faces are miss- 

 ing from the stores, their owners having 

 gone to the mountains or the seaside. 

 Others are talking of going. It may 

 be said that the summer dullness is on 

 in full swing. 



Various Notes. 



Morris Goldenson, in his capacity of 

 special constable, had to take a pris- 

 oner to San Quentin the other day, and 

 jokingly says he brought another back 

 in the person of Jack D'Ortignac, an 

 old-timer in the florists' business here 

 and at one time proprietor of the 

 Redondo Floral Co. store on Spring 

 street. He has for the last few years 

 been in business in San Francisco, but 

 now has joined the staff at Wolf skills' 

 & Morris Goldenson 's. 



C. B. Knickman, representing Mc- 

 Hutchison & Co., of New York, called 

 on the trade last week. 



A. D. Peterson, for many years known 

 to horticulturists here and now fore- 

 man at Exposition park, is starting on 

 a vacation trip of about six weeks, in- 

 tending to call on friends in the prin- 

 cipal eastern cities. 



The (L. A. Floral Co. is handling extra 

 fine asters and Fred Sperry reports 

 business as being fairly good for this 

 season. 



Frank McCabe, representing the A. L. 

 Handall Co., of Chicago, was here last 

 week, showing a fine line of his con- 

 cern's specialties. 



M. L. Germain, president of the Ger- 

 main Seed & Plant Co., left for a few 

 weeks' vacation August 1. 



J. Allen, of Santa Barbara, who re- 

 cently joined the ranks of the benedicts, 

 is in Los Angeles on a combined busi- 

 ness and pleasure trip. He still is with 

 Mrs. Whipple, on State street. 



At H. W. Turner's, Montebello, the 

 new rose stock looks fine. The earliest 

 planted beds have made a good growth 

 and have a hard, robust appearance 

 about them that augurs well for fine 

 cut stock later. Plant sales have fallen 

 off here, but there still is much stock 

 being shipped. 



The August meeting of the Los An- 

 geles Horticultural Society was held in 

 one of the lecture rooms of the Cham- 

 ber of Commerce, August 2, with Presi- 

 dent Felgate in the chair. About 150 

 members and others were present, mak- 

 ing it one of the largest meetings held
