of Dutch iris. John Polder says that 

 Bembrandt does particularly well with 

 them at their Montebello nursery, in- 

 creasing annually, which is fortunate, 

 for there was a rush at the market to 

 get these splendid flowers, quite the 

 best seen there so far this season. 



The older sections of the lath houses 

 and greenhouses at Howard & Smith's 

 Olive street establishment are coming 

 down, to be replaced with a landscape 

 planting. While this removes an old 

 landmark, yet the structures had prob- 

 ably outlived their usefulness and did 

 not match up well with the handsome 

 new store and other surroundings. At 

 Montebello, Cal., the wonderful ciner- 

 arias are still the center of attraction. 

 Just now they are at their finest and 

 everyone who can should see them. It 

 is no exaggeration to say that there is 

 no finer strain in the country. 



The E. C. Amling Co. reports a big 

 week, not only in shipping, but among 

 the local retailers, who have been 

 heavy purchasers of stock for high-class 

 funeral work. H. R. R. 



Mr. and Mrs. Peter D. Barnhart re- 

 ceived at their home, 615 Euclid avenue, 

 February 23, the occasion being their 

 golden wedding anniversary. Many of 

 their friends in the trade were present 

 and the occasion was a hapi)y one. 



Mr. and Mrs. Philip J. Foley, of Chi- 



cago, are visiting Los Angeles, 

 are guests at the Rosslyn hotel.

The Market. 



Carnations arc scarce and liuve usu- 

 ally been sold out w^ithin an hour of the 

 market's opening. Roses are good, but. 

 like everything else in first-class stock, 

 they are somewhat scarce. Sweet peas 

 are coming in, but they are still high. 

 Frcesias are good, but not particularly 

 plentiful. Such lu.xurics as the early 

 anemones are not to be found in the 

 open market, for they are bought up be- 

 fore reaching it. The one flower that 

 abounds is the Emperor daffodil, but it 

 is Hearing the end of its season and 

 will be scarce by Easter. While violets 

 are less plentiful than they were a week 

 or two ago. there are still enough to go 

 around and they will probably last over 

 Easter. The market is cleaned up every 

 morning by 8 o'clock, and. while
