San Francisco, Cal. — June 27 fire par- 

 tially destroyed the establishment of 

 the California Florist Co., 1707 O'Far- 

 rell street. 



Oakland, Cal. — Savagnio Eoeco has 

 secured a building permit for three 

 greenhouses to be erected on the east 

 side of Eighty-eighth avenue just south 

 of E street at an estimated cost of 

 $600. 



Spokane, Wash. — The Spokane Ad 

 Club proposes to make this place known 

 as the Aster City and plans to hold an 

 aster show in September that will 

 eclipse the rose shows that make other 

 coast cities famous.^ ^ t a « _* 



Puyallup, Wash.---^. «hlman and A. 

 Linghani judged the rose show here, 

 at which 125 amateur gro'wers staged 

 nJBerly 1,000 vases of blooms cut from 

 their gardens. A feature was an ad- 

 dress on soils, by Clark C. Thom. 



Tacoma, Wash. — The Tacoma Eose 

 Society's show, held June 27 to 29, 

 eclipsed the best previous records. It 

 is a purely amateur affair, but of much 

 value to the trade in stimulating the 

 demand for plants. It is estimated that 

 there were 7,000 admissions. Charles 

 Malmo, of Seattle, and Conrad Klom, 

 of Olympia, were the judges. At the 

 close of the show the presentable flow- 

 ers were sent to the hospitals. 



LOS ANGELES, CAL. 



The Market. 



Stock has been plentiful, but has 

 been cleaned up well when of good qual- 

 ity. Too many of the carnations coming 

 in are rusty and thrips-eaten, but good 

 stock is still coming from the best grow- 

 ers. Gladioli have never been better; 

 Mrs. Francis King, America, Princeps 

 and Brenchleyensis are the most popu- 

 lar sorts and all of these bring fair 

 prices and are cleaned up well. The 

 gladiolus, in fact, is the mainstay of 

 the market now. Cecil Brunner roses 

 are flowering for the second time and 

 there are too many to be disposed of 

 at a price that would be satisfactory to 

 the grower. Indoor roses are on the short 

 side, but the demand is not great. Cen- 

 taureas are in fair demand and are 

 supplied in good variety. A large cut 

 of Shasta daisies is on and some have 

 to be thrown away. Stocks, gypsophila, 

 cornflower, statice and other small flow- 

 ers are about even with the demand. 



Good plumosus sprays are scarce and 

 strings are almost out of the question, 

 but brake ferns and huckleberry are 

 plentiful and a lot of wild greens is 

 shipped from the northern woods. Good 

 Boston ferns are scarce; so, also, is 

 small stock for filling dishes. 



Club Meeting. 



There was a fair attendance at the 

 monthly meeting of the Los Angeles 

 Horticultural Society, July 1. Theodore 

 Payne read an interesting paper on 

 "Eucalyptus," which was well received 

 and elicited a spirited discussion, in 

 which J. Reeves, G. M, Grant, C. Winsel 

 and others took part. 



A letter was read from the Pasadena 

 Horticultural Society, inviting the mem- 

 bers to join the Pasadena brethren at 

 their annual picnic, which is to be held 

 at Redondo Beach, August 3. The trip 

 will be made by special train over the 

 Santa Fe, calling en route at Los An- 

 geles, at 9 a. m. President Winsel 

 kindly offered to take twenty of the 

 members down in his new auto truck, 

 an offer at once taken advantage of by 

 many of the members. 



Various Notes. 



Considerable improvement has been 

 made at the East Side Nurseries of the 

 Germain Seed"- & Plant Co., on North 

 Mai* ^reet. J^ie stsbck looks clean and 

 healthy, tiotB*inside and outside. Other 

 nursery projects are under consideration 

 by this firm. 



Frank Lichtenberg moved, July 1, 

 from his old location on Fifth street 

 to his new store in' the Hollifigsworth 

 building. 



T. F. M. Williamson reports business 

 good at the new store; funeral work has 

 been especially plentiful of late. He' 

 evidently believes that a good window 

 is good advertising; fine stock is shown 

 right along, and plenty of it. 



Walter Lanss, of the Palmyra Nurs- 



ery, has been at Ventura working i.n 

 landscape contracts which the firm hus 

 secured there, his brother taking charj,'e 

 of the nursery in his absence. 



Calling on L. Stengel, on North Johns- 

 ton street, I noticed a fine lot of young 

 seedling trees of all kinds in good shape, 

 as well as nice batches of begonias, 

 gloxinias and fancy-leaved caladiums. 



Albert Knopf, of the Redondo Floral 

 Co., left July 1 for a month's trip in 

 his new automobile. Business is keep- 

 ing up well at the store. 



Morris Gpldenson is down for a 

 month's jury service in the Superior 

 Court. 



Business at the Los Angeles Flower 

 Market is considerably better than at 

 this time last year, heavy consignments 

 of gladioli being handled here daily. 

 Morton & Sperry are settling down to 

 good team work and the improvements 

 in business facilities continue.
