pany has Bieirbusy all through July and , 

 so far in August, and considering: its' 

 capital location, this is no matter for 

 surprise. 



John Holze, of the Queen City Floral 

 Co., started on his eastern trip two 

 weeks ago. He was planning to take 

 in New York, Philadelphia, Washington 

 and a few other cities before returning 

 by way of Minneapolis and the con- 

 vention. 



Charles Muench is getting his store 

 fitted out elaborately. There will be a 

 grand opening soon. The building in 

 which the new store is located is one of 

 the finest in the city and is attracting 

 high-class tenants. 



Harry Bisdon now has complete 

 charge of the Bisdon plant at Brighton. 

 He has the houses all planted to carna- 

 tions and chrysanthemums, with a few 

 bouvardias, poinsettias, etc., for variety. 

 Cucumbers were a profitable crop at this 

 place this year, and it is his intention 

 to do still better with them next year. 



Andrew Matthieson is sporting around 

 the boulevards in a motor car these 

 days. It looks as though we would all 

 be in the cucumber business soon. 



Fred Gust, of the Bosery, and Gus 

 Peterson, of the Hollywood Gardens, 

 have been on their vacations lately. 

 With our remarkably sultry weather, it 

 was a good time to be away from the 

 store. 



Joseph Stuber and Balph Bichardson 

 started on their eastern visit August 15. 

 Thomas Wylie went August 12.

LOS ANGELES, OAL. ~ 



The Market. 



Stock has piled up to some extent, but 

 there has not been much wasted except 

 in the poorer grades of outdoor flowers. 

 A few chrysanthemums have appeared 

 and asters are greatly improved, the lat- 

 ter hindering to some extent the sale of 

 gladioli for funeral flowers. Carnations 

 are a little better than they were, and 

 a new one, called White Fair Maid, is 

 showing up well from outdoors. Inside 

 roses are scarce, but are of good quality 

 for the season. Orchids and valley are 

 scarce owing to a big demand, but this 

 is only temporary. Greens of all kinds 

 are plentiful and good. There is more 

 small pot stock than usual. 



Various Notes. 



Fine kentias and especially good 

 America gladioli have been the princi- 

 pal features at the store of Howard & 

 Smith, at Ninth and Olive streets. The 

 fltore is well adapted for this bold style 

 of decoration, as there is ample height 

 and breadth to show the fine contour of 

 large plants. 



The Freeman-Lewis Co. had a mag- 

 nificent pall of valley and orchids for 

 a recent funeral. Two hundred cat- 

 tleyas" and 2,000 valley were used, while 

 the workmanship was in C. Lewis' best 

 style. Mr, Lewis sang with great suc- 

 •cess at a Long Beach concert August 9, 

 showing his tdlents are not all devoted 

 to floral art. . , ' 



S. Murata left for his vacation August 

 11, Mr. Newman having returned from 

 liis automobile trip to the north. The 

 latter reports a splendid time all 

 through and has returned looking well 

 "and sunburnt. 



The H. N. Gage Co. is busy building 

 and replanting bulbs at the Montebello 

 ranch.
