the stock is shipped in from Los Angeles 

 and San Francisco. But there is a fair 

 showing and the quality is good. 



Various Notes. 



A splendid new establishment is in 

 course of construction near Montecito, 

 on the Cowles estate. Although an east- 

 ern firm is carrying out the landscape 

 work, the superintendent in charge, 

 "William Donald, is a man of wide ex- 

 perience both in California and in the 

 east. The work is only in the prepara- 

 tory stage, but he has already started 

 a nursery in a sheltered part of the 

 grounds and a quantity of young seed- 

 lings and other stock are being raised. 

 Mr. Donald has a virgiti field to work 

 in — almost too virgin, he says, as he 

 would have liked a little more native 

 timber to begin on, but those who know 

 his capabilities have no fear as to the 

 results. 



A. Beverley, of the Mission Oak Nurs- 

 ery, says he has had a good season. His 

 specialty is vegetable plants and roots, 

 though he also grows some cut flowers 

 and has had good success in both lines. 

 He has built a new lath house and car- 

 ried out several other improvements. In- 

 cidentally he mentioned some improve- 

 ments in the sprinkler business, in which 

 he is also interested, but his plans are 

 not matured as yet. 



Joseph Whipple is making additions 

 to his greenhouses and is pulling down 

 some of the glass at his State streot 

 place, with a view to centralizing his 

 efforts at the lower plant, on Bancheria 

 street. He is not complaining of lack 

 of business and is showing fine stock in 

 his store. 



Mr. Eiedel, proprietor of the Southern 

 California Acclimatizing Association, is 

 carrying out a good deal of landscape 

 work, notably the removal of some large 

 old orange trees and other such ncock 

 from his place to a neighboring estate. 

 The stock here is always interesting, 

 comprising many varieties. 



At the Kentia Nurseries Mr. Verhelle 

 is showing elegant stock of all his spe- 

 cialties. The kentias in all sizes look 

 remarkably clean and good in color. He 

 is interested in a new insecticide, of 

 European origin, I believe, and is put- 

 ting it on the market after repeated 

 and thorough trials at the nursery. 



At the Exotic Nurseries Mr. Lejeune 

 says business is about the average. 

 Many good shipments of the fine stock 

 he grows have been made. His sign 

 reads, "Exotic Nurseries, for Distinct- 

 ive Plants, ' ' and this is amply descrij^- 

 tive. H. R. Richards.

The Market. 



Carnations are now selling .at a lower 

 price than for many years and still there 

 is hardly any demand for them. Sweet 

 peas seem to be the only flowers for 

 ■which there is much call, and of these 

 there is a good supply. Roses are plen- 

 tiful and not in great demand. Gladioli 

 are selling fairly well, though more of 

 them are oflfered than is usual at this 

 season. Several florists have grown 

 some in benches and large quantities of 

 the Colvillei type are being sold. The 

 sale of bedding sto«k is alwut over for 

 the season and, even at the low prices 

 prevailing, most growers have too many 

 left over to make the prospects alluring 

 for another year; few of the growers 

 made An^^money- from their bedding 

 stock this season. There were some
