sidered culture. The poinsettias are 

 growing in specially arranged low 

 houses and a special bench with air 

 spaces below the plants is used for 

 propagation. The result is especially 

 good, as the stock in small pots is only 

 a few inches high and with the leaves 

 close to the surface of the soil. In fact, 

 the cuttings have not lost a single leaf 

 and everyone knows the great advan- 

 tage of such stock in making up orders. 

 This skillful grower is certainly to be 

 congratulated on the excellence of the 

 stock in all the houses. 



Fred Sperry, of the L. A. Floral Co., 

 started out August 15 on a northern 

 driving tour, intending to visit San 

 Francisco and the big tree regions be- 

 fore returning. 



Kudolph Fischer, of San Gabriel, re- 

 ports being sold out of all his named 

 colored freesias for this season. 



Walter Armacost, of W. Armacost & 

 Co., has returned from his northern fish- 

 ing trip. He reports having had a fine 

 time and looks it. The new building 

 going up for this progressive firm on 

 East Fourth street is rapidly approach- 

 ing completion and will evidently be a 

 credit to the florists' business. 



C. S. Stewart, who recently sold his 

 business near Humboldt park, Chicago, 

 arrived here August 16. He and Mrs. 

 Stewart motored as far as Wyoming, 

 where they sold their car with the inten- 

 tion of buying another one here. Mrs. 

 Stewart's health has not been good of 

 late and they intend to stay at least a 

 year and will probably locate a business 

 of some kind here. 



At the Artesia nurseries, Tassano 

 Bros, are making rapid progress. The 

 greenhouses are finished and partly 

 planted, while the new lath house exten- 

 sion is fully planted up to Asparagus 

 plumosus, which is doing well. About 

 75,000 daffodils and other bulbs are be- 

 ing planted and the sandy soil here 

 should be perfect for them. The maiden- 

 hair ferns are especially fine. There is a 

 great improvement in the appearance of 

 this place since the Tassano boys took 

 hold. 



J. Dieterich is still improving his new 

 place at Wintersburg and the stock 

 newh' planted in the lath house looks 

 fine. A good spring on the land insures 

 a supply of water of the finest quality. 



At the Huntington Beach Nurseries 

 there is a fine collection of the new 

 dahlias just coming into bloom. About 

 250 varieties are grown, but the reason 

 of the late blooming is that the plants 

 are stopped a couple of times in order bo 

 insure a dwarf habit and thereby enable 

 them to stand up in the sea breezes. It 

 is an interesting collection.
