kow in full supply from outdoors. The 

 lowers are good this season and the 

 pomparative absencei'trf,' bright, hot sun- 

 line has kept the foliage in much bet- 

 ?r condition than usual. Asters are im- 

 proving right along, the color and stems 

 leing better. Gladioli are still good 

 [nd centaureas are fine in color and 

 ibatance. Goldenrod is a popular flower 

 ^ere for large decorations and just now 

 extra fine in color. Carnations, as a 

 lule, are small and not attractive to 

 Particular buyers. Gaillardias are showy, 

 ^ut there is not much demand for them. 

 Jweet peas are getting past their best; 

 Ihe flowers are smaller and poor in 

 tolor. 



Various Notes. 



Business keeps up well at the Los 



Lngeles Flower Market and the counters 



Lre cleaned up daily. C. E. Morton has 



^ad a painful siege with a refractory 



)oth, but kept at his post and the worst 



leems to be over. 



Thomas Windram, of Cold Springs, 



[y., has been here investigating the As- 

 t>aragus. plumosus seed industry, espe- 

 cially at the Meserve ranch, at Signal 



Till, the output of which is handled by 

 [he Los Angeles Flower Market. Wm. 



lurphy, of Cincinnati, accompanied Mr. 



/indram. 



T. W. Chisholm, of the Braslan Seed 

 3o., was a visitor this week. He reports 

 jusiness good. 



J. R. Fotheringham has been making 



lis usual calls on the trade here. He 



is unusually late, but he says he will 



itill be back in plenty of time for the 



Convention. 



Fred Westrom, of Wright's Flower 

 ihop, and Howard Turner, son of H. 

 Turner, of Montebello, leave here the 

 irst part of August for a trip to Balboa. 



Mrs. Tomlinson, widow of the late 

 jark superintendent of the city, died of 

 leart failure July 30, after an illness of 



couple of weeks. *The sympathy of 



sveryone is with the bereaved family, 



^specially the Misses Tomlinson, who 



^ere both quite devoted to their 



lother and who did all in their power 



[o alleviate her suffering at the last. 



The subject of a florists' club for this 

 Jity has again been raised. Almost 

 bveryone in the business is desirous of 

 Itarting, the leader only being lacking. 



here is an unfortunate condition of 

 things existing here. When the florists 

 Vave attended the meetings of the Horti- 

 cultural Society, they have felt out of 

 }lace, while at the recent meeting to 

 "^hich they were specially invited, the 

 deception given them was anything but 

 cordial, although the fault was not that 

 )f the members of the society. While, 

 jersonally, I should have preferred a 

 inion of the two societies, working for 

 khe general good of the business, if 

 the factions cannot be joined, then there 

 Is surely need for a live, up-tOfdate 

 Horists' club. 



Howard & Smith are keeping up a fine 

 »how at their store at Ninth and Olive 

 Streets. Some good tritomas, in all the 

 lost brilliant colors, from the Monte- 

 jollo nurseries are extra good. Business 

 ceeps up well here and an additional 

 lelivery car is to be put on this season.
