LOS ANQELES. 



The Market. 



A mucli better 8m)ply of stock i« now 

 Joining in and business is returning to 

 normal. Daffodils, hyacinths, narcissi 

 md other bulbous flowers are making a 

 tine show, while blooms of various kinds 

 give a jiretty spring-like effect to the 

 :5tores. Outdoor carnations are still of 

 moderate quality, but they are improv- 

 ing with the better weather and will 

 soon be back to form again. Indoor 

 flowers are fine. The season, too, is well 

 shown in the im])rovement in roses, 

 these being now at their best. Heather 

 is still being sent in, but its glory has 

 departed for this year. Business with 

 •Aid retailers is exceptionally good and 

 shippers say they can find a market for 

 everything they can get hold of. Greens 

 ire improving, but still they are not up 

 '.0 the standard. 



Various Notes. 



.John Polder has been passing the 



igars. The occasion is the arrival at 



his home of a fine baby boy. This young 



rlorist is to be named William. Both he 



ind his mother are doing well. 



Among visitors last week to the range 

 >f Amling Bros., at Santa Ana, were 

 Frank Schramm, of Crystal Lake, 111., 

 and Herman Schiller, of Chicago. 

 Speaking of visitors here, Ernst Amling 

 hays he has been surprised and much 

 ■.^ratified at the number of visitors to the 

 ;om])any's range. These are trades- 

 people and other jx'oiile not connected 

 with the florists' business, but just in- 

 ■ crested in the working of this line es- 

 tablishment. The stock is of fine qual- 

 ity, showing the effect of the season. 

 V big cut is being taken. 



A stockholders' meeting was held at 

 •he American Florists' Exchange, 

 March 6. Among the stockholders pres- 

 ■>ut were H. N. Gage, T. H. Wright, 

 •Tohn Polder, Gebhardt Prechtl, Joseph 

 'lOko, E. C. Amling, H. Amling, Ernst

 Frank Warner, C. Gutting, Roy F. Wil- 

 «'0.x, .7. Denison, George Hall, Albert 

 'loldenson, J. H. Burns, W. Kent and 

 N. Goudolfa. As there was not enough 

 to form a quorum, for which over fifty 

 ')cr cent of the stockholders is neces- 

 ■.ary, the election of ofiicers and di- 

 ■-•ectors was held over until March 2(i. 

 ''hancellor Brady, the new secretary of 

 "he California Association of Nursery- 

 men, was introduced to the meeting by 

 Koy Wilcox, and both these gentlemen 

 :uade an ajipeal to all present to join the 

 iHsociation, jiointing out the benefits 

 i.'cruing not only to nurserymen, but 

 ilso to florists and seedsmen by the ex- 

 ellent work carried on by this associa- 

 :ion. 



H. N. Gage reports that his Asparagus 

 ydumosus seed cro]) was not so badly 

 injured by the frost as he expected, and 

 that at least a quarter of the crop will 

 be saved. 



Business continues to improve at the 

 Sixth street store of Wolfskill's & Mor- 

 ris Goldenson. 



p]. V. Thompson, formerly of the staff 

 at Wright's Flower Shop, has gone into 

 business for himself under the title of 

 Thomi)son's Mower Shoj), at 638 West 

 Pico street. 



Harry Morgan is particularly well 

 l)leased with the w:iy business is coming 

 to his store, a constant improvement be- 

 ing noted. 



F. R. Hills is sending in some fine 

 hybrid orchids. 



Heavy buying is reported by the 

 Broadway Florists, an exceptional lot 

 of funeral work being noted. 



Out at Glendale .1. T. Allen, the Glen- 

 dale Florist, says that business is con- 

 stantly imjiroving. With the addition 

 of Tropico to the city and the many im- 

 provements going on at Burbank.it is 

 only natural th;it l)usiness here should 

 increase. 



Good funeral work and j)lenty of it is 

 the rejiort at the old-established store of 

 <). ('. S.-iake. Mr. Saake himself is al- 



ways on the job and the store is always 

 attractive. 



A consideral)le increase in shipping 

 business is noted by Walter Armacost 

 & Co. Another large consignment of 

 baskets has arrived and the rose cut 

 from the range continues at top notch. 

 The orchids are now being placed in the 

 new houses recently built for them. Mr. 

 Williamson, recovered from his siege of 

 influenza, is back on the job. 



Walter Garbett, well known in this 

 vicinitv, has been appointed salesman 

 for H.'Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadel- 

 jihia. This week Mr. Garbett is at the 

 Angelas hotel here with his samples. 



S. Murata & Co. report good business, 

 ' es])ecially in the shipping end.
