Spokane, Wash. — ^The store of the 

 Hoyt Bros. Co., on Post street, is be- 

 ing remodeled at a cost of $2,000. The 

 removal of an elevator shaft and par- 

 titions will give the Hoyt store 170 

 square feet additional space. 



San Rafael, Cal. — A well dressed mid- 

 dle-aged man, with red-rimmed eyes, re- 

 cently purchased a wreath from Rich- 

 ard Lohrmann for $9, tendering in pay- 

 ment a check for $21. Mr. Lohrmann 

 gave the stranger $12 in change. A day 

 later the check proved a forgery. Be- 

 ware of the' "weeping" forger! ' 



Hillsboro, Ore. — Outdoor crops in 

 this section of Oregon are most satis- 

 factory, according to W. H. Morton, 

 manager of the Hillsboro Plant & 

 Flower Garden, who recently returned 

 from a vacation in the neighborhood 

 of Mount Hood, where appetizing 

 brook trout and bear meat are spread 

 before the strenuous vacationist. 



Tacoma, Wash. — At a recent meeting 

 of the Tacoma Dahlia Society plans 

 were completed and committees named 

 for the sixth annual dahlia show of 

 the society, to be held September 8 and" 

 9. The dates were changed a week 

 ahead of the dates named at a pre- 

 vious meeting because they were found 

 to conflct with those of the western 

 Washington fair. Good prizes are 

 offered in the professional classes. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Alarket. 



Another week of dull business, with 

 flowers of summer quality, has to be 

 chronicled. There is little to add to or 

 subtract from what has been already 

 said, unless it is that the indoor roses 

 are even poorer and thinner than at 

 last report. But the retailers are do- 

 ing their utmost to draw trade by 

 showy and tasteful windows and attrac- 

 tive stores. Mention should be made of 

 a new giant centaurea of a pale lav- 

 ender hue, which is decidedly a winner. 

 In plants we have a few gloxinias and 

 some pretty little stock of Chatelaine 

 begonias, besides the usual run of palms 

 and ferns. Light blue delphiniums and 

 the showy Minnie Burgle and Golden 

 West dahlias are making a pretty dis- 

 play. Asters are a little better and 

 gladioli are still in the running. Lilium 

 rubrum also makes a good showing. 



Various Notes. 



Albert Beverley, of the Mission Oak 

 Nursery, Santa Barbara, made a flying 

 trip to this city last week, driving from 

 the northern city. He brought news of 

 the death of Stanley Davis, gardener on 

 the Moore estate, at Montecito. He 

 also reports business as fairly good in 

 Santa Barbara. 



Hunter Graham, of the force of J. 

 W, Wolters, has just returned from his 

 vacation, spent in San Diego, whither 

 he braved the dangers of the exposition 

 trail in his machine. 



George Walther, of Chicago, joined 

 his family here last week and they were 

 all enjoying a visit to the beach here as 

 guests of Mr. and Mrs. F. Hills, when 

 their youngest daughter, a little tot of 



We are much pleased with the 

 results of our plant advertisements 

 ia The Review; orders have come 

 in freely and from a wide range of 

 territory. 



Germain Plant & Seed Co. 



Los Angeles, 

 Feb. 25. 1916. 



By M. L. Germain, Pres. 



about 18 months, was knocked down by 

 an interurban car. Although it appeared 

 at first that the little one was badly in- 

 jured, immediate care and after-nursing 

 brought her around ift fine shape. Be- 

 yond a slight discoloration around the 

 eye, she is now all right. It was a 



truly narrow escape. Mr. Walther in- 

 tends to return to Chicago this week. 



W. Wern is evidently enjoying a fine 

 vacation, as indicated by photographs of 

 the beautiful northern country through 

 which he is driving, which he is mailing 

 home to his friends. They make us feel 

 envious. 



George Smith is breaking out in a 

 fresh place — this time as a raiser of 

 new gladioli. A seedling shown in the 

 store is a truly magnificat thing, with 

 a ground color a shade lighter than 

 that of America and deep scarlet 

 blotches. When asked about a name 

 for it he said, "Wait until after the 

 presidential election."
