large icebox at their store on East Fifth 

 street and several other changes ace to 

 be made this year. Mr. Hall says that, 

 owing to the cool weather, few com- 

 plaints are heard as to arrival of stock 

 at distant points. 



Shipping business keeps up well at 

 the store of W. Armacost & Co., but the 

 head shipper, Mr. Eoyce, is looking for- 

 ward to a fishing trip in the mountains 

 north of Owens lake. It seems a pity 

 that a young man whose word has al- 

 ways been accepted in everything 

 should take up fishing. We shall see 

 how his veracity will stand the test. 



Rose planting has begun and is being 

 vigorously pushed at the new range of 

 Amling Bros., at Santa Ana. 



The demand for valley at the store 

 of the E. C. Amling Co. continues brisk 

 and the stock is arriving in fine shape. 



John R. Dcrniston, of Huntington 

 Park, is bringing in fine dahlias to the 

 Florists' Exchange. His Snowdrift, a 

 pure white, is a beauty; so, also, is 

 Helen Durenbaugh, a pretty combina- 

 tion of pink and yellow. Both are ex- 

 cellent commercial kinds for cutting. 



Herbert Bateman has sent out an- 

 iiouncomonts that, until the opening of 

 his new "Shop of Floral Art," lie Avill 

 be located at 380 South Los Angeles 

 street, where lie can be reached bv tele- 

 phone 11002. 



John Bodger, Jr., left Los Angeles 

 this week with David Burpee on a trip 

 east. Mr. Bodger will go to ^Montreal 

 and other Canadian cities, taking in 

 the St. Lawrence river and Thousand 

 islands. 



According to a cablegram received 

 by Fred Howard, of Howard & Smitli, 

 they have again been awarded the gold 

 medal in the international rose competi- 

 tion at the Bagatelle Gardens, Paris, 

 France, for the best new rose, with com- 

 petition open to all countries and all 

 comers. Two years ago Los Angeles 

 rose had this honor. This time it is 

 Seedling 252, since named Lolita Ar- 

 mour. The habit is somewhat similar 

 to that of Los Angeles. The color is

The Rose Festival. 



The 1921 Portland rose festival ush- 

 ered itself in with cool weather and a 

 large number of visitors from all parts 

 of the country. From a trade stand- 

 point, the most interesting event was 

 the rose show in the Auditorium. A 

 fund had been provided by which all 

 the florists of the city participated in 

 setting up displays of jilants and cut 

 flowers. Admittance being free, there 

 was a large attendance and it is thought 

 that the florists who exliibite;! received 

 much benefit from the publicity. The 

 Tonscth Floral Co., the Swetland Flower 

 Shop, Niklas & Son and Clarke Bros, 

 made use of flowering and ornamental 

 plants, as well as cut flowers, in their 

 exhibits. In the exhibits of Smith's 

 Flower Shop and Martin & Forbes, 

 cut flowers in baskets and vases pre-
