meeting of the Los Angeles County 

 Horticultural Society I neglected to 

 mention the exc^illent paper on "Baby 

 Roses," by J. Whli«head, of the H. W. 

 Turner force at Monsrebello. As might 

 have been expected from so practical a 

 grower, this paper was full of meat and 

 was much enjoyed by all. Mr. White- 

 head, it should be noted, was the dis- 

 coverer of the rose September Morn, he 

 having found the sport in one of his 

 benches of Prima Donna. From an ex- 

 tremely small and apparently hopeless 

 piece of wood, three plants of this now 

 famous rose were raised and these were 

 the ancestors of the many thousands of 

 plants of the variety afterward dis- 

 seminated from Montebello. 



Harry Sealey, of Lowell, Ariz., has 

 been in the city on a visit and he re- 

 counts the fact that, with a friend, he 

 was standing within a short distance of 

 the bomb that was exploded during the 

 preparedness parade in San Francisco, 

 but both of them, fortunately, escaped 

 without injury. 



Business is described by the L. A. 

 Floral Co, as excellent for the season. 

 Miss Sperry, sister of Fred Sperry, man- 

 ager of this firm, is going east this 

 week on a visit. 



The cool summer has been fine for the 

 foothill gardens and a short visit to 

 the Bradbury place, at Duarte, was ex- 

 ceedingly interesting. In the stove 

 house John Robertson has made a great 

 improvement in the plants. Large, old,

leggy specimens of choice philodendrons, 

 ficuses, anthuriums and other plants 

 have been cut off and lowered and are 

 making splendid progress. Choice ferns, 

 fancy-leaved caladiums, draesenas, etc., 

 all show the care that has been bestowed 

 on them by this clever gardener and the 

 whole place is greatly improved. A 

 notable feature here is the great clumps, 

 ten feet or more across, of the stag-horn 

 fern, or platycerium, which grows in 

 the eucalyptus trees here like immense 

 bushes of mistletoe. A shady position 

 and the moist atmosphere caused by 

 near-by sprinklers presumably produce 

 the vigorous growth. 



Frank Lichtenberg manages to get 

 some of the best of the funeral work all 

 the time and has again had several of 

 the blankets to make that Bert Bateman 

 handles so well. J. Gordon is settling 

 down here and getting quite at home 

 in the new location.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Asters continue to overshadow prac- 

 tically everything else in the market, 

 as there is an enormous cut, consist- 

 ing largely of good stock. The flowers 

 find favor for their actual merit, and 

 also for their cheapness. "While their 

 competition hurts other stock for tho 

 moment, the fact that more people are 

 getting the habit of buying flowers is 

 some consolation. The worst feature is 

 the quantity that is sold by peddlers. 



In general, August is keeping up its 

 reputation as one of the dullest months
