Pacific Coast Department 



Spokane, Wash. — L. B. Hill, who has 

 been out of the business for some time, 

 now is employed in the store of Hoyt 

 Bros. Co. 



San Francisco, Cal. — The California 

 Dahlia Growers' Association will hold 

 its first annual show at the Palace Hotel 

 September 7 to 9. The membership of 

 the society is largely amateur, but many 

 of , the trade are actively interested, as 

 the dahlia is a garden flower of large 

 importance on this coast. 



Spokane, Waah. — There has been, and 

 is now going on, considerable building 

 among the greenhouse men in this sec- 

 tion, as well as a number of changes 

 in the retail stores here. Business bids 

 fair to be better than ever this season 

 and most of the concerns in the trade 

 are preparing for it by enlarging and 

 improving their facilities. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



Local trade has been a good deal bet- 

 ter during the last seven days, and this 

 despite a heat wave that stryck us a 

 few days ago. Several weddings and 

 the usual quantity of "funeral work have 

 helped to kqep down surplus flowers. 

 Outdoor roses have been better than in- 

 door roses of late, while good carnations 

 are coming from under lath and under 

 glass. 



For local trade the cut of Lilium ru- 

 brum is fine, but it does not ship well. 

 Gladioli are still good. Asters are im- 

 proving again and are excellent for fu- 

 neral work. Dahlias are showy and 

 good, while the usual small flowers and 

 novelties help out. Wholesalers say 

 that the out-of-town trade has fallen 

 off considerably, as it always does dur- 

 ing August. 



Various Notes. 



Despite the slack season of the year, 

 large numbers of boxes are seen leav- 

 ing the store of the L. A. Floral Co. 

 for long-distance shipment. In the in- 

 tervals of business Fred Sperry has been 

 entertaining eastern friends. 



Walter Garbett, of the California 

 Evergreen Co., returned August 26 from 

 an extended trip to eastern points, in 

 the course of which he visited his old 

 home and did considerable business in 

 desert holly and other specialties of his 

 concern. 



At the W. Armacost & Co. place, at 

 Sawtelle, an additional fi^ve acres of 

 land has been purchased, to give elbow 

 room. Mr. Armacost says that two and 

 one-half acres of this will be covered 

 with lath, to extend the plantings of 

 Asparagus plumosiis. Two new glass 

 houses are to be added this year, besides 

 those already mentioned, and this will 

 fill up the entire block, even to the 

 steam battery at the south end of the 

 property. The new greenhouses are to 

 be 28x207 feet each and, like the last 

 erected, will be up-to-date in every par- 

 ticular. The steam mains are already 

 in and the glass is on the ground. 



Earl Taylor, son of J. Taylor, who has 

 charge of the Pico and Alvarado street 

 park, was killed almost instantly Au- 



We are much pleased with the 

 result* of our plant advertisements 

 in The Review; orders have come 

 in freely and from a wide range of 

 territory. 



Germain Plant & Seed Co. 



Feb.''2rm6: By M. L. Germain. Pres. 



gust 19, when a motorcycle on which he 

 was riding collided with a truck, in the 

 city. The deceased was quite a young 

 man and sympathy is extended his par- 

 ents in their bereavement. 



Mrs. Wilton, manager for C. H. Kolle, 

 of El Paso, Tex., had her visit cut short 



here on account of the serious illness 

 of her father at El Paso. 



J. Dieterich is building a new lath 

 house at his nursery on Wall street, to 

 take care of newly balled palms and 

 other stock as it arrives from the Mon- 

 tebello nursery. 



George Hall, one of the young sales- 

 men at the S. Murata & Co. store, has 

 returned from the naval training school. 

 Mr. Muratar reports business good and is 

 showing a fine line of new crop, lath 

 house carnations. 



Morris Goldenson has returned from a 

 fishing trip, during which he kept the 

 boys weir supplied with trout. A par- 

 tition has been run across the store to 

 hide the workroom and the appearance
