LOS ANOELES. 



Tbe Market. 



Business, was good and stock well 

 cleaned up last week. The increasing 

 number of retail stores opening makes 

 the market an increasingly busy place 

 every evening and everything is clear 

 at an early hour. Mums are still good 

 and selling well; in fact, there is seldom 

 enough to go around. BonnafEon is keep- 

 ing up well this year and ships well. 

 Roses are arriving in increased num- 

 bers, but they always clean up. 



Indoor carnations are much improved 

 and fairly plentiful, the rose-pink varie- 



ties moving freely. A few orchids are 

 in, but they are not sufficient for the de- 

 mand and valley is also on the scarce 

 side. Baby roses and sweet peas are 

 plentiful and the latter are improving in 

 color. Pompon chrysanthemums are 

 plentiful now in all colors. All classes 

 of greens are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Sleeping by the shore of Baldwin 

 lake, 7,000 feet high, in the San Bei'- 

 nardino mountains, the writer felt free 

 of the florists' business and everything 

 pertaining to it, but the hum of an auto- 

 mobile and a well known friendly voicp 

 revealed James Hardy, of the Dostal- 

 Wolters Flower Shop, in his Buick, ac- 

 companied by those other mighty Nim- 

 rods, George Eischen, of the Alexandria 

 Florist, and Carl Brose, of Herbert 

 Bateman, Inc. And what they did to 

 canvasbacks is, as Kipling says, 

 "another story."

 the business here for many years, has
