flower. Marigolds, monkshood aud zin- 

 nias are also being used freely in com- 

 bination with mums and some ship- 

 ments of sartpdragons are coming in. 



California violets are expected soon. 

 Some fine orchids are being cut at this 

 time. Lily of the valley is now coming 

 in from local growers and a small cut of 

 gardenias is reported. A few stores 

 have sold cut cyclamens in a small way. 



The movement in potted plants has 

 shown a real increase, due to the ar- 

 rival of potted pepper plants, prim- 

 roses, cyclamens and begonias. A few 

 geraniums are also seen. Ferns, es- 

 pecially woodwardia, are making a nice 

 showing and have been selling accord- 

 ingly. 



Lilium rubrum and callas represent 

 the lily family at present and there is 

 no great demand for either. Good new 

 carnations are hard to get at this time 

 and there is little or no sale for tlie 

 other grades of this flower. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Howard, of Los Angeles, was a 

 trade visitor last week and he reports 

 satisfactory trade conditions in southern 

 California at this time. He says eastern 

 florists are especially active in their 

 demand on the growers for palms of 

 potting size. Another visitor was A. 

 Hoxton, of A. Hoxton, Inc., Yakima, 

 Wash. 



The Art Flora! Co. has made a fea- 

 ture of Roosevelt and woodwardia 

 ferns lately and reports splendid suc- 

 cess with both of them. 



There have been a large number of 

 weddings recentlj' and the Hollywood 

 Gardens have been getting their share 

 of this business. This store handled one 

 of the most attractive local affairs of 

 the season, using huckleberry, maple 

 leaves and dahlias to form a growing 

 screen, candelabra and conventional rose 

 trees to mark the aisle for the bridal 

 party and red gladioli and various col- 

 ored dahlias for the other rooms of the 

 house. The elaborate bouquets for the 

 bridal party were made by Miss Whar- 

 ton, and &licited much favorable com- 

 ment in the local press. 



Kenney's Home of Flowers took ad- 

 vantage of the newspaper publicity giv- 

 en the dahlia show to follow it up with 

 a window display showing the more pop- 

 ular varieties and reports a fine sale of 

 bulbs as a result. 



The simpler autumn outdoor flowers, 

 Huch as late coreopsis, calendulas and 

 asters, were used in various banket

 the elastic cement that never gets hard, cracks or 

 peels in cold weather or runs in hot weather.

 Tou can't get anything better no matter how much 

 .more you pay. The ingredients are of the purest; 

 weighs but 10 pounds to the gallon. 



With the scarcity of coal and its high prices, the 

 careful application of Asbestfalt will more than pay 

 for itself by keeping your greenhouse air-tight.
