Now that you have decided definitely on your planting for the coming season, would esteem it a pleasure to submit 

 samples and prices covering your requirements. Our sJ,ock is in splendid shape for immediate planting, especially in the 

 following varieties. We guarantee satisfaction. 



Prince E.C. d'Ar«nb«rg-This sterling new red is be- 

 ing, planted heavily and is going to make a record. We have 

 an extra fine lot of it for June 1st and later delivery. At the 

 price we are delivering it for, you can give it a very liberal trial. 



Mrs. 4l«a. Shawyer— Here is another one that you make 

 no^n^istake in devoting a liberal amount of your bench space to. 

 You will eventually discard all other pinks for it. Better 

 make a good start this season; there will be no regrets, 



Dbl«> Whit* Klllarn«y— Will surely supersede the orig-^ 

 inal; larger, stronger, double and pure white in the hottest 

 weather. 



Lady Alice Stanley— A grand rose and easy to handle, of 

 extremely vigorous growth, splendid at all seasons of the** 

 year. 



Kiliarney Queen-i-A favorite with every one, wherever 

 tried, always in demand at advanced prices. 



Jonfcheer J. L. IMJock— Gaining friends everywhere, this 

 giant pink has made a great place for itself and deservedly so. 



Sunburst— The only yellow rose you can afford to devote 

 space TO, and a big money-maker. 



Antolne RIvoire (Mrs. Taft)— Sells on sight and a favor- 

 ite with every one; always brings top prices; beautiful in all 

 stages ra development and a splendid keeper. 



Milady— A wonderfully good red that has proven itself a 

 winner; grow cool and you will be surprised with its vigorous 

 growth and freedom. 



Mile. Ceclle Brunner— This charming little rose is a 

 staple in every flrst-class flower shop in the country. There is 

 always room for a few benches of it, and the returns are steady 

 and generous. 



Prima Donna— The demand exceeds the supply wherever 

 grown, and is being planted in greatly increased quantities this 

 season. Larger than Russell and a better and easier one to 

 handle. 



Mrs. Wakefield Chrlstle-Mlllcr- Strong grower, a big,' 

 massive built rose that every one likes, and very free.

 Beauty, White Kiliarney, Rose Queen, Mme. Abel Chatenay

the season of the year; the cool nights 

 keep the stock hard. The flowers keep 

 their color well, and are of good sub- 

 stance and lasting quality. Carnations 

 are plentiful, and although the glut of 

 baby roses is about over, there is still 

 a much larger supply than is needed^. 

 Gladioli are now quite plentiful, and 

 while the larger Gandavensis and simi- 

 lar types clean up well, the small-flower- 

 ing. Peach Blossom, Blushing Bride- and 

 similar kinds are not selling well. The 

 commoner spring, or garden, flowers are 

 being peddled around by children, old 

 ladies and others, who apparently try- 

 to add a little to their income by the 

 proceeds of their yards, but just why 

 retailers buy such trash and turn down 

 decent stock grown by those who are in 

 the business and have to make their liv- 

 ing at it, is a riddle. Boston ferns and 

 other kinds of nephrolepis are still 

 scarce and difficult to obtain. Greens 

 of all kinds are plentiful and cheap. 



Various Notes. 



A recent call upon H. Clinkaberrv at 

 the Thorkildsen place, at Beverly Hills, 

 showed that he has been making the 

 best of his time and opportunities to 

 improve these grounds. They had been 

 planted in a way that was inartistic, 

 to, say the least, and practically every- 

 thing had to be changed, except the 

 wilder natural part, where, under the 

 shade of live oaks in part, and in the 

 full sun in other parts, he has planted 

 and sown suitable stock. One of the 

 prettiest things of all was the golden 

 yellow Mariposa lily, or Calochortus cla- 

 vatuB. The bulbs were planted simply 

 by throwing them over the uneven hill-

side, and by this means a natural effect 

 has been obtained that could not be 

 had by any other style or system of 

 planting. And this is one of the most 

 glorious of the calochorti, all of which 

 have to be seen on their native heath 

 to be appreciated. Many large trees 

 have been moved in and planted, and 

 other important alterations are in prog- 

 ress. 



Nothing but roses now is grown at 

 the El Paso Greenhouses, at Hollywood, 

 and Mr. Lecluse, the present lessee of 

 the place, has it in good shape. I had 

 the interesting experience of picking 

 and eating the Chinese lychee nut here, 

 a nice tree of which is on the place.
