other houses. The wholesalers are 

 bunching up — a good thing. The 

 Beauties now arriving from the Arma- 

 cost range at Sawtelle are extra fine. 



Walter Polder, of Polder Bros., 

 Montebello, was married recently to 

 Miss Jessie Hoekstra. Mrs. Polder was 

 a Chicago girl who came out some time 

 ago and then went back, but the load- 

 stone in sunny California was too 

 strong. 



Albert Knopf, of the Eedondo Flo- 

 ral Co., writes that he is having a good 

 time in the east. Mr. Knopf has been 

 visiting his old home town, Columbus, 

 O.', and other towns where the name of 

 Knopf is not altogether dissociated 

 with the flower business. In the mean- 

 time, F, Borden is holding down the 

 stand and, as the days are getting 

 shorter, putting in less time growing 

 vegetables. The high cost of garden- 

 ing will not worry him much more this 

 season. 



J. W. Wolters' store always looks a 

 little "different" from any other 

 store on account of the great variety 

 of stock he brings in from the Holly- 

 wood ranch. Mr. Wolters has reached 

 San Francisco on his homeward trip 

 from the east. 



Everyone seems busy at the store of 

 the California Cut Flower Co. The 

 stock handled is fine. 



Good requests continue to arrive at 

 the L. A. Floral Co. store, with re- 

 gard to long-distance shipments. Some 

 of these shipments went as far as 

 Minnesota. 



Lichtenberg's store is splendidly ar- 

 ranged. With the large quantity of fine 

 stock and the telling color of the dec- 

 orations, the store certainly is bright 

 and attractive. Harry C. Soelke, for- 

 merly with Podesta & Baldocchi, of 

 San Francisco, has joined the staff 

 here, adding one more to a strong 

 team. 



Orders continue to come from an ever 

 widening territory to S. Murata & Co. 



Theodore Payne left Santa Barbara 

 in time to pick up the nurserymen 's 

 convention at San Jose.

SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



The principal topic in Spokane is the 

 weather, which everyone is enjoying 

 except the florists. Frost, which would 

 kill the garden flowers, is a month over- 

 due. While that has helped out in the 

 coal bill, it has held back the demand 

 for flowers to an alarming degree. 



Chrysanthemums are being flowered 

 earlier than is customary, and as a con- 

 sequence we may not have blooms as

are plentiful and good. Eoses are fine 

 and carnations show a decided improve-
