ROBERT G. FRASER & SON, Seed Growers, PASADENA. CAUF. 



recently returned from his vacation. 



F. Lichtenberg leaves soon for a busi- 

 ness trip to San Francisco. 



Daniel MacRorie, of the MacEorie- 

 McLaren Co., San Francisco, is visiting 

 in this city and San Diego in the inter- 

 ests of his firm. 



A flying visit to the greenhouses of 

 W. Armacost & Co. showed this great 

 establishment in excellent order. The 

 crop of roses coming in the last seven 

 large houses built is possibly the finest 

 ever seen hero and the plants are in 

 superb order — clean, strong and healthy. 

 Immense numbers of heather in pots in 

 all size? promise well for the Christmas 

 market, Erica melanthera, E. codonodes 

 and E. regerminans being the principal 

 varieties grown. The latter is already 

 in bloom, while E. melanthera, of which 

 popular kind there are many thousands, 

 is showing bud and will be a grand 

 sight later. Several houses are devoted 

 to cyclamens and the stock in all sizes 

 is extra gc^d this season. The cattleyas 

 look prormsing and, indeed, the whole 

 place shows the effect of a master hand. 

 Prospective building is held back on ac- 

 count of the scarcity of building mate- 

 rials, which Mr. Armacost is buying as 

 rapidly as possible. The plans call for 

 nine more houses, which, with the seven 

 already working, will make an immense 

 block. 



The cyclamens arriving at the store 

 from Wright's Flower Shop green- 

 houses, at Moneta, are possibly the 

 finest ever handled by this firm. The 

 stock is large and Mr. Wright is whole- 

 saling all not needed at the store. 



Mrs. Murata, wife of S. Murata, has 

 gone for a vacation to Japan and will 

 bring her daughter back with her. 

 Baskets are moving freely at the store 

 and shipping trade is keeping up well. 



The California Floral Co. reports a 

 brisk business, not only in cut flowers, 

 but also in bulbs, of which they are 

 handling large quantities. 



A baby boy arrived at the home of 

 Ernst Amling at Orange, October 6. 

 Both wife and baby are doing well. 



J. Dieterich is much improved in 

 health and started on a trip to San Fran- 

 cisco, going north with Daniel Mac-

 The wedding of D. Stathatos, briefly 

 mentioned last week, proved a promi- 

 nent local event. Exceptional floral 

 taste in decoration was shown by Jack

 shower bouquet of valley and orchids; 

 the maid of honor, Ophelia roses with a 

 valley shower. The tables at Christo- 

 pher's were laid for 300 guests and were
