Pasadena, Cal. — Nothing more elabo- 

 rate in the line of floral decorating has 

 been done in Pasadena than was done 

 for Candidate and Mrs. Hughes on the 

 occasion of their recent visit. Henry 

 A. Siebrecht, Jr., the Fifth avenue 

 florist of New York, who is stopping 

 at Hotel Maryland, suggested the floral 

 scheme and the hotel management had 

 him take charge of the work. The table 

 of honor was decorated in semblance 

 of the state of California. The large 

 round table had a wreath five feet in 

 diameter of September Morn rose, 

 which originated in this state. A larger 

 wreath was festooned with Cecile Brun- 

 ner roses and maidenhair ferns. In 

 the center of the wreaths was placed a 

 large gold vase, which was filled with 

 Ophelia roses and festooned with 

 maidenhair ferns. The long table had 

 centerpieces of oblong design, while 

 large vases about the sides of the 

 apartment were filled with tall, grace- 

 ful plumes of red, white and blue. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



August chrysanthemums are never a 

 great attraction here and the present 

 year is no exception. Golden Glow, 

 October Frost and a few other pre- 

 cocious varieties are in the market. 

 Those from the home growers are fairly 

 good, but the stock shipped from San 

 Francisco looks as though it came 

 through the Golden Gate in a heavy 

 fog. Asters are beginning to lose out, 

 but carnations still are plentiful and 

 good. Gladioli are fine and dahlias are 

 fair for this season. They will prob- 

 ably improve again when the later 

 plants come in. Indoor roses are im- 

 proving a little, some of the cut from 

 the young stock being of fine texture 

 but short of stem. Outdoor Sunburst 

 has appeared in good shape; also Radi- 

 ance and Lady Ursula, a pretty light 

 pink that does well outdoors in hot 

 weather. Centaureas are useful for 

 filling in funeral work, but they are 

 not so good as those of a week or two 

 ago. Valley is scarce, as are orchids, 

 but the demand is not great. Small 

 plants of Begonia Chatelaine and 

 cyclamens are attractive, and the price 

 is not large. There is plenty of greens 

 ef all kinds and ferns and palms are 

 abundant. 



Various Notes. 



C. Winsel, one of the best known men 

 in the local seed trade, has been ap- 

 pointed Belgian vice-consul for south- 

 ern California and Arizona. Mr. 

 Winsel has acted as vice-consul since 

 the death of J. Moorkin in July. 



Albert Goldenson, brother of Morris 

 Goldenson, is preparing for an auto- 

 mobile trip to San Diego. 



H. B. Garvin, of Salt Lake City, vis- 

 ited the trade here last week. 



H. Sealey, of Lowell, Ariz., and fam- 

 ily now are at Ocean Park, spending a 

 most pleasant vacation. 



John Bodger & Son have materially 

 increased their acreage to flower seeds 

 this year by the addition of large hold- 

 ings at El Monte. J. Bodger, Jr., is 

 as busy as the proverbial bee this year. 



We are much pleased with the 

 results of our plant advertisements 

 in The Review; orders have come 

 in freely and from a wide range of 

 territory. 



Germain Plant & Seed Co. 



F^b."^5f 1916! ^y ^- '^- Germain. Pres. 



The demand for their seeds is quite 

 without precedent. 



J. Altman is considerably improved 

 in health, but has about decided to 

 stay ifi Los Angeles rather than return 

 to Arizona. 



L. L. Gage, of the H. N. Gage Co., 



with a number of other business men 

 of Montebello, is going after deer as 

 soon as the season opens. Prospects are 

 good, he says, for deer; also for trout, 

 in the neighborhood of Boquet canon. 



Big business is the report of the Los 

 Angeles Floral Co. Of late several 

 days have been the busiest on record 

 for this house. 



Murata & Co. say their business 

 greatly exceeds that of this time last 

 year. 



C. E. Morton left September 3 for 

 Phoenix, Ariz., where he intends to go 

 into business again, as his throat will 

 not stand the moist climate here. Mr. 

 and Mrs. Morton drove down and were 

 accompanied by Hubert Morton, of
