 A. P. Borden has purchased a new 7-pas- 

 senger Buick of the latest model. 



The Aggeler & Musser Seed Co. has 

 opened a fine new store at 620 South 

 Spring street. The old store on North 

 Main street has been abandoned 

 and the wholesale business is being 

 taken care of at the new place on the 

 market. This firm has received a large 

 shipment of Dutch bulbs, apparently be- 

 fore anyone else in town.

The Market. 



Places of amusement, churches and 

 schools are still closed on account of 

 the influenza epidemic, but the situa- 

 tion has improved to such an extent 

 that restrictions probably will be re- 

 moved within a few days. The florists 

 are looking forward to the time when 

 they can discard the gauze masks which 

 they have been wearing for the last 

 month. As the death rate is little above 

 normal now, the florists are no longer 

 rushed with funeral work. While it 

 means less business for the trade, there 

 is a general feeling of relief that the 

 disease is about to be eradicated. Both 

 wholesalers and retailers are optimistic 

 over the outlook for an improvement in 

 the demand for flowers for home deco- 

 ration and festive purposes following 

 war negotiations, which assure peace at 

 an early date. It is conceded the tend-

Some time ago we announced we were "still on top." Now we are over the top with 

 a fine lot of stock. Our shipping business is increasing and we have passed the peak 

 of last year's sales. But we are still anxious for new customers for

PLUMOSUS AND SPRENGERl SEED 



For delivery in February and March, 1919, I will have between seven and ten million seeds of Asparagrus 

 Plumosus and Asparagus Sprengeri. 



I am now making contracts for .this seed and solicit correspondence from intending purchasers. 



The weather will not affect this seed in any way, as it is already set and growing under lath in my nursery 

 at Montebello, where frost is upknown.

FLORISTS' SUPPLIES

ency toward curtailment in unnecessary 

 expenditures may persist to a certain 

 extent until the army is disbanded and 

 the men returned to regular employ- 

 ment, but the florists here are confident 

 that many people will start in immedi- 

 ately to show more liberality in their 

 patronage of florists' establishments 

 and other places of business which con- 

 ditions placed under the ban to a con- 

 siderable extent. All indications point 

 to a heavy Thanksgiving and Christmas 

 business, and preparations are being 

 made accordingly. Plenty of stock is 

 in sight for all requiremen'ts. In potted 

 plants for the November holiday, poin- 

 settias and cyclamens promise exceed- 

 ingly well. The market no doubt will 

 be well supplied with fine roses. 



While the dropping off of funeral work 

 has eased up the demand for flowers for 

 the time being, the market is not over- 

 supplied as a whole or with any par- 

 ticular variety of stock. Eoses and 

 carnations are more plentiful, but the 

 increase does not make up for the de- 

 crease in the supply of chrysanthemums.

A limited amount of small and medium- 

 sized mums will be available for some 

 time, providing the weather remains 

 fair, but the season is practically over 

 for the large, fancy stock. There is a 

 nice cut of cyclamens and plenty of 

 orchids for the demand, but gardenias 

 are on the short side of the market. In 

 miscellaneous stock cosmos, marigolds 

 and gaillardias clean up easily. A few 

 Chinese lilies are arriving. Greens are 

 more plentiful than last week, especially 

 brake ferns and huckleberry, which is 

 due to the fact that labor has recovered 

 from the epidemic. Violets seem to be 

 more plentiful than was anticipated ear- 

 lier in the year. The shipping demand 

 leaves no surplus here, however.
