R. G. FRASER & SON, ^^'"KSTg'a^eS'"* Pasadena, California

 packet, SOc. 



Florist, was busy decorating chairs, 

 cradles and other furniture for a nurs- 

 ery, and while on the face of it this 

 does not sound attractive, under his 

 skillful hands a most artistic result was 

 attained. In the windows here Statice 

 Suworowii and orchids were used with 

 telling effect last week. 



The Shasta daisies coining from the 

 Gorini nursery, at Huntington Park, 

 are of especially good quality. 



Another big shipment of baskets has 

 arrived at the store of W. Armacost & 

 Co., to take care of Mothers' day re- 

 quirements. The rose cut is particu- 

 larly good just now. Incidentally, the 

 exhibit of roses sent to the Pasadena 

 show last week by this firm was one 

 of the finest ever seen in this section. 

 Mr. Armacost personally superin- 

 tended the arranging of the exhibit 

 and the Columbia, Crusader, Russell 

 and other popular vtarieties were truly 

 magnificent stock. 



Particularly good funeral work has 

 been turned out by the Broadway Flo- 

 rists lately and much of it, this being 

 one of the busiest stores in town. 



The H. N. Gage Co. is in with a fine 

 cut of tulips. A peculiarity about the 

 tulips as grown here is that many of 

 the Darwins after being grown here a 

 while have a flaked color approximat- 

 ing the parrot types. Allium roscum 

 is also fine and as handled by Mr. Gage 

 is a fine shipper. 



A. Tassano & Son report big shipping 

 orders for statice and greens, the stock 

 arriving in fine shape now from tlie 

 Burbank nursery. 



S. Murata has sufficiently recovered 

 from his recent illness to be around the 

 city and take drives to the beaclies, but 

 he lias not so far returned to business. 



Some fine decorations arc reported by 

 the Alexandria Florist, Manager George 

 Eischen and staff being kept busy all 

 the time. He says he has not much 

 time for his Montebello citrus ranch. 



Fine Erica persoluta alba is being 

 sent to the market by Roy F. Wilcox & 

 Co. from the Montebello nursery. 



Fred H. Howard, Roy F. Wilcox and 

 C. E. Gutting were in San Francisco 

 last week on business connected with
