Settling Amid the Olives. 



"Mr. Frey and his wife, who, like 

 himself, is a student of floriculture, 

 bought an old 10-acre olive grove about 

 two miles north of the town of San 

 Fernando, on Hubbard avenue, a year 

 ago. The first few months were occu- 

 pied in grubbing out the old trees, 

 whicli, because they were of inferior 

 varieties, were not worth saving. Then 

 the ground was put in shape and in late 

 August and during September two acres 

 of the land were set out to bulbs 

 brought from the Indiana establish- 

 ment. Freesias made up by far the 

 greater part of the planting, but the 

 generally inviting conditions led the 

 Freys to put out also a considerable 

 number of French irises and small calla 

 lilies. Between six and seven acres of 

 the land have now been prepared for a 

 cover crop of sweet clover and, after 

 this has been plowed under, will be 

 ready for planting to the bulblets being 

 developed this year on the place. Mean- 

 while Mr. and Mrs. Frey are completing 

 an attractive home in a clump of olive 

 trees on the remaining area of the 

 jiroperty. 



"'Freesias for outdoor commercial 

 growing in this section rerpiire a soil 

 with a certain amount of sand,' Mr. 

 Frey says. 'They should be planted in 

 September and kept irrigated by an 

 overhead sprinkling system, which is 

 the easiest to control. The rows should 

 be eighteen inches apart, although the 

 bulbs can be grown in beds or borders 

 where they are not being handled on a 

 I'irgc scale. I make the furrows and 

 se) out 1)V hand. The smaller bulblets
