The Florists^ Review 



February 6, 1B19. 



this second illness has reduced him con- 

 siderably. 



Among the unusual orchids at F. 

 Lichtenberg's store this week are sev- 

 eral elegant s])ikes of the violet-scented 

 oncidivim, (). tigrinum. This variety is 

 so distinct that its ai)itearance calls out 

 a good many inciuiries as to its identity, 

 making it a good advertisement. Other 

 orchids shown here, outside of the cat- 

 tleyas, include fine dendrobiums, pha- 

 la^nopsis and several of the Mexican 

 ladias. The store force is busy all the 

 time, largely with funeral work. 



C. Gutting, of the Superior Nursery 

 Co., is taking a trip south for duck. 



A note of progress has been sounded 

 by W. Armacost & Co. The ground 

 already is staked out and several car- 

 loads of lumber are ordered for an addi- 

 tion to his already large growing range 

 at Rawtelle. Mr. Armacost as yet is 

 incommunicative as to the area that 

 will be covered this year, or rather, he 

 says that it will depend more or less 

 upon prices of pipe, glass and other 

 commodities that enter into construc- 

 tion. But that there will be a big ad- 

 dition is assured. Large temporary 

 sheds are being erected for carpenters, 

 painters and other mechanics to work 

 in and gravel is being hauled for con- 

 crete work. The entire new addition is 

 to be devoted to roses for cut flowers. 

 One does not have to be much of a 

 ]troi)het to see an immense business in 

 Hawtelle. Its beginning was small, but 

 every move has been carefully consid- 

 ered and already tliis l>rancli has scored 

 heavily. 



A. F. Borden, of the Redondo Floral 

 Co., reports his whole family recovered 

 from influenza. Peter Nilson, a former 

 employee of this company, has returned, 

 making the third man added to the staff 

 in the last six weeks. 



A. Knopf is cheerful, in spite of a 

 loss of $500 worth of stock from his 

 lemon grove at Santa Ana, due to frost. 

 Mr. Knopf speaks highly of the heather 

 now being used so freely and says there 

 will be a much greater demand for it 

 next year. V. Lewis is recovering from 

 the slight operation on his throat. 



Mr. and Mrs. Terwilliger, of Minne- 

 apolis, have been staying at J^ong Beach 

 and are occasional callers in the flower 

 market here. 



Polder Bros, report a wonderful sea- 

 son's trade in rooted cuttings. John 

 Polder says that with every mail this 

 concern receives orders on items on 

 which it is siiort. Another case of suc- 

 cess following tlie rigiit treatment of 

 customers. 



Max Tefillossy, of the staff of S. 

 Murata & Co., has Ix-en laying off, due 

 to a severe attack of lumbago. 



Fred Sperry, manager of the L. A. 

 Floral Co., reports a bigger shipping de- 

 mand than usual for various shrub 

 branches, not only flowering but foliage. 



Angelo Tassaiu) has bought out the 

 entire busine.ss of Tassano Bros., but 

 when asked if this was going to be a 

 permanent arrangement, was incommu- 

 nicative. II. Ji. Richards.

The Market. 



For the first time since the holidays 

 the sup})ly of flowers is equal to the de- 

 mand. Roses are still on the short side 

 ol' the market, but there are enough to 

 go around, especially with carnations 

 plentiful, and daffodils, freesias and
