The Dutch girl window decoration that 

 appeared in connection with the leading 

 article in The Eeview of September 28 

 was from a photograph supplied by Peli- 

 cano, Rossi & Co., San Francisco. This 

 firm makes a special feature of its win- 

 dow displays and travelers from all over 

 the world comment on the attractiveness 

 of this San Francisco window. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



The opening of several new stores, a 

 few good weddings and about the usual 

 run of funeral work cleaned up stock 

 rather well last weel;. Since the rain 

 flowers of all kinds iave been soft 

 and unfit for long-distance shipping, 

 and possibly some complaints will be 

 heard from the consignees. But every- 

 one hopes for a little mote fine weather 

 before the winter rains set in for good, 

 and this will harden the outdoor and 

 cloth house carnations. 



Boses indoors are improving and 

 some excellent Russell, My Maryland, 

 Prima Donna and September Morn are 

 shown. Red roses are decidedly poor. 

 The pretty Irish Fireflame rose is 

 shown in decorative vases, baskets and 

 other receptacles, but beyond this it is 

 not much in demand. People admire it, 

 but do not buy it. Great bunches of 

 cosmos brighten the stores, as usual at 

 this time, and there still are large num- 

 bers of outdoor flowers. Perhaps the 

 prettiest combination of all now is 

 hunuemannia and Centaurea Cyanus. 

 The deep blue and the bright yellow 

 are superb together. 



Valley has passed out of the staples 

 and is only bought for orders. Orchids 

 are fairly plentiful, the labiatas being 

 particularly good in color. A few Cattleya 

 superba blooms are shown and attract 

 attention by their novelty — not as a 

 new plant, of course, but new as a cut 

 flower. Chrysanthemums are at their 

 height, but the rain has not improved 

 their quality any. Good ferns are com- 

 ing in and are just about even with the 

 demand. Greens are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



D. MacRorie, of San Francisco, was a 

 visitor here last week. 



G. Prechtel, foreman for J. Dieterich 

 at the Montebello nursery, has had 

 throat trouble and has been at the hos- 

 pital for a slight operation, from which 

 he has quite recovered. Mrs. Dieterich, 

 who recently underwent a rather serious 

 operation, is progressing as well as pos- 

 sible under the circumstances. 



The stock in the new houses of Wal- 

 ter Armacost & Co., at Sawtelle, is 

 looking well and Mr. Armacost ex- 

 presses himself well pleased with the 

 business done. They are now sending 

 in a splendid cut of that excellent rose, 

 My Maryland, which has somewhat gone 

 out of favor the laB^'few years. If all 

 the flowers grown were like those sent 

 from Sawtelle, it would probably be 

 more grown. 



G. A. Smith reports funeral work at 

 the Seventh street store good and says 

 work is progressing satisfactorily at 

 the new nursery. 



F. Lichtenberg has scored another 

 success with a unique centerpiece in 

 his window, which has the appearance 

 of an immense bouquet with a fountain 

 in the center, new flowers and grasses 

 being placed daily. Business is good 

 here. 



The H. N. Gage Co. reports greater 

 sales of its home-grown bulbs this year 

 than ever before. L. L. Gage thinks 

 this possibly is due in part to the de- 

 layed shipments of Dutch stock. At 

 any rate, he points with pride to re- 



peat orders from people sold to last 

 season. 



A. F. Borden, of the Redondo Floral 

 Co., is visiting relatives in Chicago, 

 where he will spend about two weeks. 

 This firm is handling a large quantity 

 of chrysanthemums and Mr. Knopf 

 reports that, while the poorer grades 

 go begging, they cannot get enough 

 good ones to go around some days. In 

 spite of the mums, Minnie Burgle 

 dahlias are still a leader, with Golden 

 West a close second. Several good wed-
