West Adams Nursery and Mr. Nishida 

 says he is preparing to ship five more 

 carloads during the coming spring. 



The E. C. Amling Co. reports a big 

 demand for poinsettias, valley and 

 heather, while considerable shipments of 

 palms and other plants are under way. 



The Broadway -Florist is keeping up 

 to its reputation for big funeral orders. 

 Some immense pieces were on the floor 

 last week and the workroom has been 

 full day after day with high-priced work 

 of all kinds. 



C. Gutting, of the Superior Nursery, 

 is making up and selling some fine mixed 

 plant baskets. His stock of fine-leaved 

 erotons, cyclamens and various other 

 showy plants helps out materially along 

 this line. 



At the store of the Morris & Snow 

 Seed Co., some magnificent Boston 

 ferns were shown. Albert Morris is 

 now in perfect health again and the 

 new nursery on Figueroa street is mak-

Fraser & Son, of Pasadena, are han-

 Sprengeri seeds, as well as the many

 the double cosmos are two noteworthy 

 specialties. H. R. R.

 rather chilly and wintry last week. 

 Mums are almost over and the few that 

 remain are high-priced, on account of 

 the fact that there are not enough to 

 supply the local market. While a good

 every day, the scarcity of other stock 

 causes them to go rapidly. A few firms 

 say they have good carnations, but the 

 market consumes every day's cut with- 

 out filling the full demand. 



Short stock in roses is scarce, owing 

 to the fact that almost all growers have 

 disbudded. Out-of-town buyers mostly 

 want medium-priced stock, creating a 

 heavy demand for shorter-stemmed 

 blooms, which at present are hard to 

 obtain.
