^^The Laws of Hybridizing Discovered by Richard Diener^^ 



A DISCOVERY of tremendous importance to everyone interested in 

 plant breeding and plant life. Any form and size of flowers, 

 fruits and grains can be obtained by application of these laws 

 in the quickest possible way. They are the first workable laws ever 

 discovered in plant breeding. Included is an explanation of What 

 Plant Life Is; Animal Life in Relation to Plant Life; What Plant Sports 

 Are, and other valuable information. A book elegantly dJCJ f\f\ 

 printed and illustrated. Price fPO.UU 



reported the supply greater than the de- 

 mand. California growers have been 

 quoting chrysanthemums to the trade, 

 but the local buyers are not yet ready 

 for this offering. The local acreage of 

 chrysanthemums is much larger than it 

 was last year and from present indica- 

 tions a good yield may be expected. The 

 growers say they expect to be able to 

 supply the market this year at an earlier 

 date than ever before. 



Sweet peas are maintaining both 

 quality and quantity records and some 

 of the best stock of the season is arriv- 

 ing. Weather conditions have been fa- 

 vorable to full color development and 

 practically every basket or funeral piece 

 sent out of the stores has these flowers. 

 Other outdoor offerings meeting a nice 

 demand are cornflowers, wallflowers, 

 bachelor's buttons and calendulas. 

 Gypsophila is used almost entirely as a 

 garnishment on cut flowers. 



Among roses coming to hand TJlrich 

 Brunner easily leads as to quality, while 

 Columbia and Irish Elegance are show- 

 ing considerable improvement. Ophelia 

 is the most plentiful offering and baby 

 ramblers are also in good supply. There 

 are some nice orchids coming in now, 

 mainly eattleyas, and the local trade has 

 been able to take care of some shipping 

 orders for these flowers. Lily of the 

 valley and gardenias are scarce. Potted 

 ofFerings consist mainly of fuchsias and 

 geraniums, but the sales have been 

 rather slow of late. The good demand 

 seen last week for ferns seems to have 

 passed entirely and this ofFerin; has beem 

 moving only in a casual way. 



Various Notes. 



John G. Holden, of the Holden Floral 

 Co., Portland, Ore., and Mrs. Holden 

 were visitors last week. Mrs. Holden 

 was until last week Miss filsie Schnopp, 

 formerly connected with the Hollywood 

 Oardens and with Clarke, Bros., in Port- 

 land. Several dinners were given the 

 honeymooners during their stay here. 

 Mr. and Mrs. Fred M. Young, also of 

 Portland, completed the party. Mr. 

 Young is operating the greenhouses for- 

 merly owned by Martin & Forbes. 



There are still plenty of vacation ac- 

 tivities to report. The departure list 

 this week included Mrs. Sandahl, of the
