1 WHERE SHALL I TRADE NEXT YEAR? I 



I With ARMACOST & CO., o/ course ! 



I Easy to answer that if you have visited our plant and have become 



I acquainted with us. If you haven't we will try to tell you in this space 



I some of the reasons that have caused Armacost & Co., Los Angeles, 



I to come to be recognized as the best and most dependable wholesale 



i house on the Pacific Coast. 



Reason No. 6 



Mr. Armacost has gone off to the mountains, trout 

 fishing, this week. Besides getting plenty of trout, 

 5 a good appetite and a fine sunburn, he always brings 



s back a fresh determination to make the firm of Walter Armacost & Co. stand for the very 



S best in the Florists' business; to grow the best flowers and plants that can be grown; to 



§ handle only the best in Florists' Supplies; to improve the service whenever possible; to go 



s to any limit in quantity buying in order to save money to our customers. 



5 By the way! We are expecting a carload of Dr. Dux's Superiora Brand Magnolia 



s Leaves in every day now. Wait until you get the price. No question then of where to 



5 buy Magnolia Leaves.

the Horticultural Trade- Journal : ' * Fred 

 H. Howard, of the firm of Howard & 

 Smith, Los Angeles, California, U. S. A., 

 was a visitor to our London office July 

 28. Mr. Howard has been in Europe for 

 a few weeks, having been elected as a 

 juror at the Bagatelle rose trials. Dur- 

 ing a brief stay in England he has man- 

 aged to see a large number of the best 

 establishments, especially those devoted 

 to roses and to popular and serviceable 

 hardy annuals. Mr. Howard holds a high 

 opinion of the British standard of hor- 

 ticulture and is ready to admit that our 

 plant breeders produce many things 

 America is glad to buy. There are 

 nevertheless some things the United 

 States growers can supply us with which 

 should be welcomed either for market or 

 private trade, and Mr. Howard is in- 

 tending to keep in touch with us, which 

 we trust he will do to the mutual benefit 

 of both his and our circle of horticul- 

 turists."

The Market.

 business rather quiet toward the first 

 part of last week, although shipping has

 that we give you

retailers state that trade is increasing 

 slightly after a period of the usual vaca- 

 tion time slackness. A number of wed- 

 dings are on the calendar for the latter 

 part of August and September and 

 these, together with the beginning of 



the social affairs of early fall and win* 

 ter, are expected to provide plenty of 

 decorative work. 



Asters were plentiful and of unasa- 

 ally good quality last week. The prie« 

 has dropped to $1.50 per bunch for 4b«
