cost will put in most of his time at 

 Sawtelle, overlooking the construction 

 and growing end, while other heads of 

 departments are noted as in charge at 

 the store. Everything apparently is 

 well systematized and working with 

 the smoothness that shows good organi- 

 zation. Work is in progress on the new 

 addition to the plant at Sawtelle. 



Robert Armstrong, now of San Diego, 

 paid a visit to old friends in the city 

 this week. Mr, Armstrong says that 

 there are several large landscape proj- 

 ects in and around the southern city 

 that will call for a lot of nursery stock. 



The sympathy of his many friends in 

 ;he trade goes out to Frank Raymond, 

 of the force of the Athletic Club Flo- 

 rist, in the death of his brother, L. B. 

 Raymond, which occurred this week 

 from paralysis.

In the past there has been a little 

 feeling against California-grown plu- 

 mosus seed, but the experience of Harry 

 Bailey, of Montebello, thus far shows 

 that this is dying out, as it should. It 

 is difficult to see how there could be 

 better conditions for ripening seed than 

 in the almost constant sunshine of a 

 California winter. It is true that in the 

 past some irresponsible parties have 

 been in the business of selling seed and 



doubtless some of the stock sold was 

 unsatisfactory, but when firms like the 

 above and others make a specialty of 

 growing, ripening and hand-picking it 

 and getting it on the market early, then 

 there need be no fear of results. Being 

 anxious to know about this, the writer 

 asked Mr. Bailey how he found the de- 

 mand from people who had used it be- 

 fore. His answer was to show a letter 

 ordering 600,000 seeds, from a firm that 

 last year bought 300,000. He said, with 

 a smile, "That's not the only one." 

 It is interesting to note in this connec- 

 tion that this one grower already has 

 orders filled and to be filled for one and 

 one-half milUon seeds. So some one has 

 confidence in California-growB Aspara- 

 gus plumosus seed.
