Irises from California. 



C'diisidcialili' (liHC'Ussioii liiis been 

 ciiuscd l)y the wiiils of certiiiu growers, 

 mostly ill the east, wlio have tried to 

 ''force"' Iris tiiigitaiia and failed this 

 season, using California hullis, this item 

 being no longer importecl becanse of the 

 (]iiarantiiie. Of course it may be that 

 too small bulbs were used, or that they 

 were not thoroughly ri]ieiied, but there 

 is nothing to iiuticate Iris tingitana can 

 not be grown successfully in California 

 for llowering under glass. Note this 

 from a letter dated .)anuar\- iM:

The writer was Hans Jeijseii, of .May- 

 wood. Tlie iris bulbs were su])plie(l by 

 A. Henderson & Co., who (d)taiiied them 

 of .\lois Frey, of San [•'ernando, C"al. 



Mr. Peterson's Activities. 



Tht> liethaiiy (!irls, a national religi- 

 ons and |>hilanthroj)ic organization with 

 1,2(1(1 members in this city, has ]iur-

 avenue for an indicateil .t7."),0n(l. The 

 residence, which contains twenty-six 

 rooms, was built twenty years ago at a 

 cost of .'<!l(t(),ll()(l, and was at that time 

 one of the most elaborate homes in the 

 city. Title to the jiroiierty was taken by 

 William A. Peterson, the nurseryman, 

 who is president of the |iiiri-liasing or- 

 ganization, which has maiiitaiiu'd gen- 

 eral oflices, classrooms and restroom in 

 tlie .Masonic Temple. The liethany (iirls

Various Notes. 



C. .1. Michelsen and :Mrs. Michelscn 

 reached home January 'M). after a brief 

 v.ucation tii]i to California. They s])eiit 

 some enjoyable days Avith E. C. .\inling 

 and family and with Alois Frey and Mrs. 

 Frey, as well as visiting several other 

 former Chicago florists now locnted 

 there. lint they were glad to get liome 

 again, as the weather was unfavorable. 

 They reacdied Los .\ngeles the day after 

 the big freeze, the worst that section has 

 ha<l in years. Returning home, they 

 found that Mr. Miidielsen 's mother, who 

 is known by many florists and liked by 

 all who know her, had fallen during their 

 .absence and broken her arm. 



After a tri]i to Kichmond, Tnd., K. 

 Wienho(d)er is of the oidnion that in 

 due time the new rose, America, will do 

 to Premier what Premier did to Hussell. 



In the old days Paul J. Daemicke 

 built many "Butcher lioy " iceboxes for 

 florists and news of liis demise, January 

 •27, at the age of 73, will be received Avith 

 regret. 



Paul H. Kliiigs]Porn w.as at (irand 

 Porks, S. I)., January 27 and 28, shak- 

 ing hands with the florists of the north- 

 west, who had gathered there for the 

 .•innual meeting of the Tri-State Flo- 

 rists' Association. 



A new flower store is being ojiened 

 at 202(1 West Thirty-fifth street, by Miss 

 1-lorence S. Johnson. She will use the 

 name of the Floral Shop. The fixtures 

 .•ire being installed bv the A. L. K.-indall 

 Co. 



A. Henderson is suffering anotlier at- 

 tack of his old ailment, congestion of 

 the frontal sinuses. Many peojile liave 

 it and call it a severe hoadac he brought 

 on by a cold, but seedsmen like to have 

 everything labeled properly.
