flowers, but to the loosely built varie- 

 ties with soft petals. A few days' sun 

 will put the carnations in good shape 

 again, and in the meantime there are 

 quite a number of greenhouse-grown 

 flowers. In the retailers' windows the 

 mums are making an elegant show and 

 business is said to be good in them. 



Roses are improving right along and 

 there is quite a demand for the pretty 

 sijigles, Irish Elegance and Irish Fire- 

 flkme. Cecile Brunner is plentiful and 

 good. Orchids are plentiful, but val- 

 ley is scarce. 



Various Notes. 



At the Broadway store of S. Murata 

 & Co. some of the finest Bonnaffon 

 chrysanthemums seen this season are 

 shown. The business done here is con- 

 sistent and regular; large shipments are 

 going out daily. An especially good 

 line of pink carnations is being handled 

 now. 



Wallace Boyd, of the-staff of Dar- 

 ling's Flower Shop, has returned from 

 his combined vacation and honeymoon 

 trip, which he enjoyed in the Yosemite. 

 Mr. Boyd speaks highly of the natural 

 beauties of this magnificent scenic won- 

 der and says he feels like a giant 

 refreshed for the autumn campaign. 

 TJhe new store is wonderfully attrac- 

 tive. 



J. Morley, park superintendent of 

 Han Diego, was in town on a short visit 

 last week. 



L. Edlefson has returned from a busi- 

 ness trip to San Diego. 



During one of the recent rainy days 

 Jacob Dieterich was observed cutting 

 up in an unusual manner and exhibit- 

 ing all appearances of extreme joy. 

 Naturally we were all anxious to know 

 the reason, and all one could get from 

 .lake was the fact that it was raining 

 daffodils ' for him. Later, when his 

 temperature was down to normal again, 

 he came through with the information 

 that he had just sold about $4,000 

 worth of those Cocos plumosa trees he 

 has been growing at Montebello. And 

 still they say there is no money in the 

 nursery business! 



At the monthly meeting of the Los 

 Angeles Qounty Horticultural Society, 

 held at the Chamber of Commerce 

 rooms October 3, there was quite a 

 large attendance of the general public, 

 but not many members. James Taylor 

 .18 vice-president took the chair in the 

 absence of the president. Two papers 

 ,were read, one by H. R. Richards on 

 bulb culture, the ojther by C. E. Shaw, 

 of Pasadena, on hardy perennials. 

 Quite a large number of flowers were 

 sent to illustrate Mr. Shaw's remarks, 

 which were listened to with much inter- 

 est. There also were some fine flowers 

 of Freil Howard's new rose, Los An- 

 geles, and an elegant table of baby 

 roses from H. W. Turner, of Monte- 

 bello. The pretty little Baby Doll was 

 much admired, as it always is; in fact, 

 all of them came in for a great dpal of 

 .Tttention. 



The Southern California ^^^ower 

 Market is installing a new and down- 

 to-date refrigerating plant. Owing to 

 the large number of greenhouse grow- 

 ers shipping to this house, they are able 

 to send out good carnations during the 

 wet season, when many growers of out- 

 door stock are in poor shape.
