in some of the finest -Boston ferns that 

 have ever been produced on the Pacific 

 coast. Mr. Maier 's progress in the man- 

 agement of the affairs of the Hillsbor- 

 ough Nurseries has ranked him among 

 the leading growers about the bay. 



W. A. H. 



Hogan, Kooyman & Co., of Oakland, 

 have opened a cut flower, bulb and seed 

 store in the California Flower Market 

 building, where tl\ey will handle their 

 wholesale business. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



Trade is up and down, but mostly 

 d6wn just now. There is too much out- 

 door stock of a mixed character for good 

 flowers to sell well and, while it helps 

 the retailers to make a good display, 

 there is not much money in it. There 

 are some wedding decorations and the 

 usual quantity of funeral work, but the 

 transient business is dull and there is 

 little going on in a social way. Hotels 

 and rooming houses of the better class 

 are practically empty of their best cus- 

 tomers, the tourists, and this reflects 

 upon the florists' and all other business. 

 Everything in the way of flowers is 

 plentiful and cheap and the demand for 

 the best quality of stock is so poor that 

 growers are disgusted with the prices 

 obtained. June weddings may help 

 some, but just at present it looks as 

 though the season was going to end up a 

 poor one. 



Various Notes. 



Edwin Lonsdale, the well known su- 

 perintendent of the Burpee seed ranch 

 at Lompoc, was a visitor this week, but 

 had to leave again almost at once to 

 visit a relative who was sick at Salt 

 Lake City, Utah. Mr. Lonsdale says 

 they have made good progress in roguing 

 the sweet peas, but they aie getting 

 some trouble again this year with aphis. 

 He has already used one ton of tobacco 

 powder on the "varmints" this season 

 and probably will use another. * 



At the Freeman-Lewis store the force 

 has been kept busy with several good 

 wedding orders. C. Lewis has taken a 

 home at the Beach for the summer and 

 will go to and fro daily. 



Murata & Co. say that the out of- 

 town business is far better than local 

 trade. Mr. Murata has purchased a 1914 

 Buick. 



Henry Morton, son of Charles Mor- 

 ton, of the Los Angeles Flower Market, 

 drove to San Diego last week jn his 

 father 's Buick. Mr. Morton is still hav- 

 ing considerable trouble with his throat 

 and is taking the advice of a specialist 

 along this line. 



T. F. M. Williamson makes a fine show 

 in his windows, his Gladiolus America 

 being particularly good just now,
