P. Lichtcnborg, <if Los Angeles, called 

 on various members of the local trade 

 last week. Mr. Lichtenberg said that 

 business had greatly improved in Los 

 Angeles this year and that the only dif- 

 ficulty florists in the southern city had 

 to deal with was the scarcity of good 

 stock. 



H, A. Hyde, of Watsonville, Cal., paid 

 a visit recently. 



Due to an agreement made by the 

 local firm of Avansino Bros., when tak- 

 ing possession of the store at 182 Geary 

 street several years ago, it was neces- 

 sary to give up the lease October 1. A 

 large sum of money was given by the 

 owner in consideration of the release 

 and the firm is now looking for another 

 suitable location in the downtown dis- 

 trict. According to one of the members 



(tf tilt' firm, the companj' intends re- 

 opening the business on a larger scale. 



N. A. Baldocchi, of Podesta & Bal- 

 docchi, is back from a pleasant vaca- 

 tion spent in the southern part of the 

 state. Mr. Baldocchi made a round of 

 ail the interesting points in and about 

 Los Angeies and Pasadena, including 

 tlie various beaches and the motion pic- 

 ture colony at Hollywood. 



The force of Enomoto & Co. is kept 

 busy with chrysanthemum shipments. 

 Reports from the nurseries are to the 

 effect that a number of the later varie- 

 ties, including Bonnaffon, will make 

 their appearance within a few days. It 

 was stated by this firm that a drop of 

 prices is anticipated, but the opinions 

 of other dealers regarding the situa- 

 tion differ quite radically from this. 



About 1,500 varieties of dahlias were 

 on exiiil>ition at the dahlia show at the 

 Oakland hotel, Oakland, held under the 

 auspices of the Alameda County Floral 

 Society. Among the new creations 

 which attracted particular attention 

 were Dr. Tevis, Mrs. Estes, Jessie Seal; 

 Mrs. Spencer, a cactus variety; Mar- 

 shal Foch, a new seedling; Billie Burke, 

 a large canary-colored bloom; Harry 

 Lauder, Sequoia, Grizzly and Eagle. 

 Mexico, the largest dahlia in the show, 

 grown by F. C. Burns, measured nearly 

 fourteen inches across. This was in 

 striking contrast to Betty, the smallest 

 bloom, only an inch in diameter. G. 

 Kossi & Co. received awards for the 

 most artistic basket of dahlias in the 

 show and the most artistic table decora- 

 tion. The best collection of dahlias
