NEW PENTSTEMON sierra,..madre 



Produces from 40 to 50 flowers on a spike, the individual flowers from 2% in. to 3 in. across; grows 

 S}4 ft. to 4 ft. high, the flowers a beautiful deep red, with pure white throat. 



It is a perpetual flowering variety and at Christmas we sold the cut flowers at $2,50 per dozen. The 

 flowers are fine keepers, lasting from 7 to 10 days in water when cut, and it is a magnificent herbaceous 

 plant for the border. 



Certificate of Merit and highly recommended at Pasadena Flower Show, spring of 1918 and 1919. One 

 of the finest Pentstemons ever grown.

being used. The Stein force worked 

 two and one-half days arranging the 

 decorations, which necessitated bring- 

 ing the rose plants in the garden into 

 full bloom by the use of cut roses. From 

 the house to the pergola, under which 

 the ceremony was performed, was an 

 aisle 240 feet long, formed by hedges 

 of heather, pink spiraeas, stocks, etc., 

 linked together with garlands of sweet 

 peas and Russell roses. The bride car- 

 ried a shower bouquet of gardenias and 

 orchids, of special design, while the 

 bridesmaids carried fans of Bussell, 

 Ophelia, September Morn and Columbia 

 roses, respectively. 



Mrs. R. E. Darbee relaxed after the 

 Easter rush and motored into Lake coun- 

 ty on a fishing expedition. She took 

 along complete camp equipment, in or- 

 der to enjoy outdoor life to the fullest 

 extent. At the store on Hyde street, 

 business is reported holding up well 

 since Easter, with preparations being 

 made for a big Mothers' day. 



Enomoto & Co. have a nice lot of 

 Spanish iris for Mothers' day shipping 

 orders and they look for good business.

trade this week, bringing a good report 

 of Easter business from the capital city. 

 Fred Bertrand, manager of the retail 

 business of the MacRorie-McLaren Co., 

 was pleased with April business. Being 

 new in the place, he had no way to 

 gauge the preparations for Easter sales. 

 For that reason, he is particularly well 

 satisfied, because everything cleaned up 

 closely, justifying the extensive prep- 

 arations which had been made. His 

 force is new, but Mr. Bertrand says the 

 men handled the rush in fine shape. To 

 them he is inclined to give great credit 

 for the splendid results. Now that build- 

 ing construction and improvement work 

 are going forward again on a large 

 scale, the landscape department is ex- 

 tremely busy with many contracts.
