NEW SWEET PEA 



llflONROVIA 



For several years this has been the best seller 

 on the Los Angeles and otber local markets, 

 and I have decided to offer it to the trade as 

 long as the stock lasts at 



$8.00 p«r oanc*. 



Monrovia begins to flower when only about one 

 foot high and continues to bloom profusely until 

 it reaches h feet high outdoors. It will make a 

 splendid greenhouse variety, as the buds do not 

 drop under any conditions The color is a deep, 

 purple outside, inside heliotrope, and it is un- 

 questionably the finest winter-bloomlBg parple 

 in existence. Tbe seed has been carefully re- 

 selected from large pods only. It was ^thered 

 in April and May in the foothill section, and 

 is consequently mature and of high germinating 

 power. It is an exceptionally stout grower and 

 throws long stemmed flowers all through the 

 season, four to six flowers to the stem. This 

 offer ~ will be withdrawn as soon as present stock 

 is exhausted. ,

way of Bothell to'lhe farm of Holly- 

 wood Gardens, where they were hospi- 

 tably entertained by the proprietora. Of 

 course, the main point of interest was 

 the greenhouses, where the planting of 

 carnations is almost completed. The 

 earlier planted stock is looking excH- 

 lent and the plants now going into the 

 benches are fine and should prove good 

 producers. The chrysanthemums, which 

 followed tomatoes in three of the 

 houses, are also looking well, and the 

 party was much edified by the pains 

 taken to exclude the tarnish bugs, 

 cheesecloth being used to cover all the 

 ventilators. Mr. Anderson deserves 

 credit for the excellence of his stock 

 and the clean and neat appearance of 

 everything around this interesting 

 plant. The ornamental grounds and 

 flower and vegetable gardens were aft- 

 terwards visited, and the party was 

 taken charge of by Mr. Nyberg, who 

 is curator of this department and 

 whose accomplishments in beautifying 

 the vast grounds are certainly note- 

 worthy. There were quantities of new 

 roses to see and admire, and the shrub- 

 bery and other plants were well worth 

 a visit. The quantity of vegetables and 

 fruit grown to supply the army of over 

 fifty workers on this estate impressed 

 the visitors. The dairies were the next 

 item, and here the absolute cleanliness 

 of cows, barn and workers was ob- 

 served. A large herd of pedigreed Hol- 

 stein cows supplies the milk, which is 

 driven by motor to Seattle every day 

 and eagerly liought by householders 

 there. The herd of pedigreed Duroc 

 Jersey hogs was afterwards inspected, 

 and here, also, the clean condition of 

 hogs and surroundings was especially 

 noticeable. Mr. Stimson has one of the 

 most up-to-date farms in the country, 

 700 acres of land, most of it cleared of 

 trees. The visitors had not time to see 

 the chicken rhnch, which is in a dis- 

 tant part of the estate. After being 

 made welcome to a hearty dinner, the 

 party started on their way, journeying 

 by way of Redmond. J. J. Bonnell con- 

 ducted them to his nursery at Kirk- 

 land, where another example of reclaim- 

 ing the wilderness was visible. Mr. 

 Bonnell only acquired this ground — 

 fourteen acres — three years ago, and he 

 now has it almost all cleared and 

 planted. The ground is eminently 

 adapted to the growth of conifers and 

 ornamental shrubs, as evidenced by the 

 healthy appearance of everything plant- 

 ed, some holly trees having put on 

 three feet of stem already this year. 

 The soil is of a peaty nature and re- 

 tains moisture much better than the 

 average. He showed huge laurels in 

 quantity, and all the conifers were 

 making sturdy growth. His plan is to 

 import the small plants from Europe 

 and grow them on to marketable size 

 here, thus saving freight charges and 

 insuring better roots and more sure-to- 

 grow trees to purchasers. A flock of 

 ducks and geese, not pedigreed, but 

 useful in devouring chickweed, is kept 

 here. The land is on the outskirts of 

 Kirkland, and while valuable now for 

 nursery purposes, is yearly acquiring 

 more value by the proximity of this 

 growing suburb. 



Various Notes. 



Carl Melby has secured the contract 

 to plant the flower boxes placed in 

 front of the site of the new building 

 of the Metropolitan Co., on Fourth ave- 

 nue. This is a new departure here.
