considering quite a large extension of 

 his growing quarters, including the 

 acquisition of a 5-acre tract a little 

 farther inland for everlastings. He is 

 figuring on a trip east shortly. 



Newly painted signs along the Whit- 

 tier road announce the fact that R. H. 

 Meisic has taken over the Germain 

 nursery. Mr. Meisic was formerly em- 

 ployed in the nursery here and all will 

 wish him well in his new venture. 



The L, A, Floral Co. is making large 

 shipments of bulbs of colored freesias 

 to the eastern trade. F. Sparry is on a 

 trip to the southern part of the state 

 and San Diego.

Tlie Market. 



Good stock is still scarce iu the cut 

 flower market. It is the "in-between" 



season for most varieties of flowers, 

 and stock is in an indifferent condition. 

 Carnations are practically finished, and 

 the new beds are being set out for the 

 following season. Early gladioli, too, 

 are a little off crop, but the later blooms 

 will be ready for cutting within a week 

 or two. Gardenias were never so scarce 

 as they are this week. Many of the old 

 plants are being replaced by new stock, 

 making it diflScult for the retailer to 

 secure enough blooms for the demand. 

 Orchids are still selling at $1.50 each, 

 retail, and the florist is fortunate who 

 can fill his orders. 



Statice is plentiful this season and 

 strawflowers are in good condition, al- 

 though growers are not bringing in as 

 much of this variety as last year. 

 Scabiosas are in good shape, both single 

 and double, and a few of the salmon 

 pink double blooms are seen in the mar- 

 ket. A few good zinnias have made 

 their appearance, but the crop will im-

prove to a great extent in another week 

 or so. Most of the zinnias at present 

 are of the lighter shades and are not so 

 popular as the richer colors which will 

 be seen a little later. Some good speci- 

 mens of dahlias are now in the market 

 and are proving among the most popu- 

 lar of. the cut flowers. Snapdragons and 

 stocks are becoming scarcer, as are 

 delphiniums and similar flowers. The 

 second crop of perennial larkspur, how- 

 ever, will be ready in a few weeks, and 

 a number of the growers expect it to 

 be in better shape than the first crop.
