ras, where he spent his vacation. He

 cally all over them in his capacity of 

 guide to the Sierra Club. 



A meeting of the executive commit- 

 tee of the Los Angeles County Horticul- 

 tural Society was held at Kruckeberg 

 hall August 16. A meeting of the Nur- 

 serymen 's Exchange was held at the of- 

 fice of the secretary the same evening. 

 The old, evergreen, hardy perennial of 

 standardizing prices was one of the 

 principal topics discussed. 



The sympathy of the trade and their 

 many other friends is with Mr. and Mrs. 

 Hill, of Alhambra, in the loss of their 

 daughter. They have certainly had 

 more than their share of misfortune and 

 are speaking of leaving California and 

 returning to the east.

The Market. 



There is little change in the market 

 situation since the last report, with the 

 exception that asters are more plenti- 

 ful. These have not been selling so 

 well during the last few days as Jthey 

 did previously, and this has given some 

 of the other varieties of flowers a bet- 

 ter chance to cle^ up. There is a large

quantity of good amaryllis and they 

 have a satisfactory demand. The supply 

 of gladioli shows no indications of di- 

 minishing, but despite the excellent 

 quality of the flowers and the compara- 

 tively low prices, the blooms have at- 

 tracted little attention since asters came 

 in. Dahlias continue abundant and fine, 

 with a moderate demand. Sweet peas 

 are about gone, but carnations have 

 been coming in a little better. 



The chrysanthemum situation is dis- 

 appointing. Several of the early varie- 

 ties now are coming in quite liberally, 

 but instead of being received with open 

 arms and purse strings, as in former 

 years, they are a drug on the market. 

 The finest specimens bring only about 

 half of last year's prices and are hard 

 to move at that. The florists are in- 

 clined to think that their early arrival 

 is largely responsible for the lack of 

 attention accorded them, in which case 

 the demand is apt to pick up at any 

 moment. Zinnias still are fine and are 

 maintaining their popularity in a per-

sistent manner, being used liberally in 

 basket arrangements. 



The rose cut is light, but the average 

 quality is good, the foliage being better 

 than for several weeks. There is an 

 abundance of Lilium tigrinum and L. 

 rubrum and both meet with popular fa- 

 vor. It is difiicult to secure the prices 

 received in other seasons, however. A 

 good many violets can be seen in the 

 local market, but the shipping business 

 in this item will not amount to much 

 before the middle of September or later. 

 The supply of orchids is light and pos- 

 sibly more blooms could be disposed of 

 if they were available in more liberal 

 quantities. The same is true of gar- 

 denias.
