The Florists^ Review 



67 



sonality counts for something — also 

 ability; the west is not now so wild 

 and woolly that everyone who calls 

 himself a grower is accepted as such. 



Tom Wright still looks a little shaky, 

 after his operation for appendicitis, but 

 he keeps going and is rapidly regain- 

 ing his strength. The Beauties com- 

 ing from the Gardena plant are cer- 

 tainly fine, as, indeed, are all the va- 

 rieties of stock grown there. 



O. C. Saakes was among those who 

 attended the San Francisco flow«r 

 show; his name was inadvertently 

 omitted last week. 



W. A, Taylor has opened the Oviatt 

 Flower Shop, at 602 North Pico street, 

 with Mrs. Avery, lately in business 

 on West Eighth street, as manager. 



Walter Armacost is busy potting 

 bulbs at the Sawtelle place. The roses 

 coming in are fine in color and stem. 



John Morley, park superintendent of 

 San Diego, called here on his way to 

 Fresno to attend the convention of the 

 California Association of Nurserymen. 

 Theodore Payne left on the h&me train 

 with Mr. Morley, October 15. The 

 attendance from Los Angeles will not 

 be as large as usual, owing to the 

 counter attraction of the San Fran- 

 cisco show. 



The Freeman-Lewis windows con- 

 tinue to be the talk of Fourth street 

 and are exceedingly attractive. 



Before the busy season again starts 

 in earnest, another kick is perhaps in 

 order as to the way funeral and other 

 flowers are handled in this city. Boys 

 on motorcycles, bicycles and crowded 

 street cars take out choice pieces and 

 flowers with absolutely no protection, 

 and, as far as I know, only one re- 

 tailer has any kind of delivery wagon. 

 The advertising value of a neat deliv- 

 ery car would more than pay operating 

 costs; yet none has appeared as yet 

 from our retailers and only one from a 

 wholesaler. 



The H. N. Gage Co. has been incor- 

 porated and will in future be known 

 as the H. N. Gage Co., Inc., with of- 

 fices at 536 South Broadway, Los 

 Angeles. The nursery business has 

 been added to that of the wholesale 

 flower business, the large grounds at 

 Montebello giving the firm additional 

 facilities along this line. It is a close 

 corporation, no shares being offered for 

 outside subscription.

The Market. 



Business is gradually increasing in 

 every line as the season advances. The 

 frost has about killed the outside stock, 

 with a few exceptions. Cosmos and 

 dahlias are to be had in limited quan- 

 tities. There is a good cut of roses, 

 with satisfactory flowers and stems. 

 Beauties are still rather short-stemmed, 

 but move well. Carnations seem rather 

 late this season and there seems to be 

 a general scarcity, especially of the 

 white varieties. The supply of mums 

 is gradually increasing, but they are 

 still far from a surplus. Bonnaflfons 

 are being shipped from the California 

 market. Orchids, valley and violets are 

 scarce. There has been considerable 

 trouble with cold storage valley pips 

 this season; often two-thirds of them 

 produce no flowers.
