An account of the dahlia show at San 

 Francisco September 7 to 9, for which 

 there was not sufficient room in this de- 

 partment, will be found on page 18 of 

 this issue. 



SANTA BARBARA, CAL. 



The Market. 



Business is on the quiet side at this 

 .time of year, of course, but not more 

 80 than usual. A good deal of outdoor 

 stock iq grown locally, but most of the 

 greenhouse cut flowers are serif in from 

 San Francisco and Los Angeles. Good 

 muma are -^omingri from; both place^ 

 Asters "^re-jLbodt OA^r locally, but 'theYe 

 is a good supply of dahlias and gla- 

 dioli. 



Everyone in the trade is looking for- 

 ward to welcoming the visiting nur- 

 serymen at their convention. 



Various Notes. 



' A. Beverley, of the Mission Oak Nur- 

 sery, is building cloth houses for cut 

 flower growing. He is going to be espe- 

 cially strong on sweet peas this season. 



Mrs. G. Whipple is making a fine 

 qhow of dahlias in the window and tak- 

 ing orders for plants. 



Arthur Gleave, of Gleave's Flower 

 Shop, says he is particularly well 

 pleased with the way businete'has held 

 iip during his first year and lop^s .for- 

 ward to a good fall business.^ 



William Donald ■ Iwke- recovered' -from 

 the effects of his accident, the only re- 

 minder of it now being a mark on the 

 side of his face. 



The Kentia Nurseries are shipping 

 fine Cocos plumosa and kentias from 

 their lath houses, where they have a 

 magnificent stock in all sizes, from the 

 smallest pots to splendid specimens. At 

 the time of my visit George Verheile 

 acted as guide around the place, his 

 brother being at iLos Angeles.

LOS ANOEUBS. 



Tbe Market. 



' ' No news is good news, " it ia said, 

 and if this is so,. 'Los Angeles is lucky, 

 . as there is little to chronicle in the 

 way of market changes. Good stock, 

 however, is decidedly short in supply 

 and all the wholesalers are calling for 

 it. Of course, there is plenty of poor 

 and mediocre stock — that always is 

 with us — but an order for 1,000 really 

 good roses of any special variety would 

 have been hard to fill last week. Hay 

 fever time is ushered in by the appear- 

 ance of goldenrods. Golden Glows and 

 similar early fall stock, and there is a 

 fine showing of lemon-yellow, double 

 African marigolds. 



Vacationists are returning to the old 

 stands, many of them sunburned and 

 tanned and all reporting a good time. 

 The deer hunters have had their in- 

 nings and game is plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Friends of H. W. Turner, of Monte- 

 bello, will regret to hear of Mr. Turn- 

 er's somewhat serious illness. Mr. 

 Turner was suffering for several days 



from throat trouble before he gave in, 

 and when he did finally quit his doctor 

 immediately ordered him to the Clara 

 Barton hospital, where an operation on 

 his throat was performed the same day. 

 At- first a diphtheric condition was 

 feared, but this fear was unfounded. 

 At last reports he was doing as well 

 as could be expected. A further opera- 

 tion, it is said, will be necessary when 

 he regains sufficient strength.

 tablishment continues good and Fred 

 Spenry Stay fc* that '.Mts. Sperryiand son?';^' 

 have gone to Glenwood Springs, Colo., 

 On a visit to Mrs. Sperry's father. ^^ 



Morris 6olden8on has been taking:-' 

 around friends from the east, his cousin, 



Miss Anna Goldenson, having greatly 

 enjoyed her trip. Miss Goldenson, who 

 resides at Greensburg, Pa., was much 

 interested in being able to pick oranges 

 and orange blossoms direct from the 

 trees. A camping trip in the mountains 

 also was greatly appreciated. 



Gebhart Prechtel, foreman at the nur- 

 series of Jacob Dieterich, at Monte- 

 bello, was run down by an auto while 

 walking with a friend along the Whit- 

 tier road. He was badly shaken up and 

 was take4 to the Montebello hospital, 

 but was soon able to be out again. He 

 surely had a lucky escape from death or
