If one were to believe all he reads in 

 the San Francisco dailies about the 

 "violet trust" he would be apt to form 

 some highly erroneous opinions as to 

 florists and the florists' business. 



Oakland, Cal. — A 10-pound boy ar- 

 rived at the home of F. E. Groves Sep- 

 tember 2, 



IMS Angeles, Cal. — H. B. Bichards is 

 the proud father of a daughter, born 

 September 9. 



Santa Monica, Cal. — Chas. S. Warren, 

 the secretary of the California Gera- 

 nium Co., in addition to his work with 

 the company, is correspondent for two 

 Los Angeles newspapers. 



Freewater, Ore. — The judges at the 

 third annual aster and dahlia show 

 were J. Waite, of Walla Walla, Wash., 

 George Milton, of Milton, Ore., and 

 W. B. Brooke, of Freewater. 



Seattle, Wash. — L. O. Beery, pro- 

 prietor of the Evergreen Nursery, with 

 sales yard at First avenue and Stewart 

 street, arrived in New York this week 

 on the S. S. Kroonland, en route home 

 from his annual trip to Holland and 

 Belgium. He purchased about five car- 

 loads of bulbs and nursery stock while 

 abroad. He says last season was the 

 best yet and that he expects n steady 

 growth in business. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



A scarcity of flowers of the better 

 kind has materialized during the last 

 week, but there is still an abundance 

 of the cheaper grades. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are now plentiful; Golden Glow 

 and October Frost are especially good. 

 Never, perhaps, has the value of zin- 

 nias been so plainly shown as during 

 the recent hot weather, when they kept 

 their color and freshness better than 

 any other flowers. They are especially 

 well adapted for window decoration. 

 Valley has been extremely scarce. 

 Lilium rubrum has been diflScult to 

 obtain at times; at other times it has 

 been plentiful. Orchids are decidedly 

 scarce, especially phalaenopsis. There 

 have been several large wedding deco- 

 rations that used up quantities of stock, 

 and altogether there is a pood tone to 

 business for the time of year. 



Arborlcultural Convention. 



The Arboricultural Association of 

 Southern California held its seventh 

 convention in the Board of Trade 

 rooms at Pasadena, September 5 and 6. 

 The attendance on both days was good, 

 but especially on the first day, when 

 the rooms were crowded. On Saturday, 

 the second day, some of the delegates 

 had to leave for home. Several excel- 

 lent papers were read, and the discus- 

 sions provoked by their reading were 

 of great interest. Ernest Beaunton, 

 presddent of the association, proved 

 himself, as usual, an excellent chair- 

 man, holding the meetings well in 

 hand, and his papers and remarks in the 

 discussions were listened to with great 

 interest. 



In the afternoon of the second day 

 the visitors were taken in automobiles 

 through the principal streets of Pasa- 

 dena and from there to the Huntington 

 estate, a trip much enjoyed by all. 

 Professor J. W. Gregg, of the Univer- 

 sity of Southern California, gave th# 

 association a most pressing invitation 

 to visit Berkeley in 1915 and his hearty 

 method of invitation evoked much ap- 

 plause. The place chosen for the 

 spring meeting in 1914 is Alhambra, a 

 rising and beautiful little town in the 

 San Gabriel valley. 



Various Notes. 



A. Zirkmau, representing the M. Eice 

 Co., has been calling on the trade here. 



John Morley, park superintendent at 

 San Diego, was here last week. Mr. 

 Morley read a paper on "Trees Suit- 

 able for Southern California Parks" at 

 the Pasadena meeting of the Arboricul- 



tural Association, and his remarks we;e 

 received with every sign of approval. 



Considerable improvements have been 

 carried out at the Eoserie Flower Shot , 

 on Third street, making the store ay- 

 pear much larger and much lighter.
