The Florists^ Review 



NOTBMBBB 12. 191«. 



Smith & Dieferich's'^ew store, at Xhsf 

 corner of Seventh and Figu^roa ^Xre^ta. 



Leon Be Staute met with an accident 

 that might have proved extremely seri- 

 ous when walking home on the Whittier 

 road recently. He was run over by an 

 auto, but, on being taken to the Monte- 

 bello hospital, was found to be only 

 bruised and shaken up, no bones being 

 broken. 



W. W. Felgate and Irving Ward, of 

 Sierra Madre, were among the exhibit- 

 ors at the Sierra Madre show l^st week, 

 both showing fine groups of flowering 

 plants. Mr. Felgate also exhibited an 

 excellent collection of vegetables. J. 

 Dieterich and W. W. Felgate were 

 judges. 



, . Six carloads of nursery stock are due 

 here this week for the joint buying of 

 Howard & Smith, the Germain Seed & 

 Plant Co. and E. Rust. 



Hervey M. Lindley^ the manager of 

 the new store of Smith & Dieterich, will 

 be married to Miss Alice Blust at the 

 First Christian church of Los Angeles, 

 November 19. Mr. and Mrs. Lindley 

 will be at home to friends at 130 North 

 Kingsley drive after December 30. 



Big consignments of chrysanthemums 

 continue to arrive at the Murata estab- 

 lishment, which is a busy place these 

 days. 



Frank Nelson^ it is said, has sold his 

 interest in the Washington Flower Shop. 



A big floral umbrella was prepared 

 for Albert Knopf, of the Redondo Flo- 

 im Co., and he found it on his desk on 

 the morning of November 4, the day 

 that L, A. kept "wet." Fortunately, 

 Mr. Knopf takes all things good-na- 

 turedly and does not fly off the handle 

 at a little pleasantry. 



The monthly meeting of the Los An- 

 geles County Horticultural Society, No- 

 vember 3, was so poorly attended that 

 adjournment was voted at 8:30. The 

 election excitement in town was, no 

 doubt, the cause of the poor attendance. 

 The election of officers is due at the 

 next meeting and a good attendance of 

 members is earnestly desired. 



Big consignments of evergreens and 

 other trees are expected shortly by the 

 California Evergreen Co. Mr. RoUeri 

 is showing the berried manzanilla, a 

 beautiful, glossy-leaved evergreen that 

 is not so well known here as in the 

 north but is well worth increased atten- 

 tion. 



Fred Sperry is handling the cut of 

 several growers of carnations and mums 

 and is well satisfied with business so 

 far. 



The H. N. Gage Co. is pushing the 

 nursery end of the business hard and 

 the condition of the stock coming from 

 Montebello leaves little to be desired. 



H. W. Turner's rose stock looks as if 

 it might produce a big Thanksgiving 

 and Christmas cut. 



Henry Bailey, of Montebello, has pur- 

 chased a new automobile and is evi- 

 dently quite at home in handling it. 



H. R. Richards. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Business was comparatively quiet 

 last week. Now, though the election is 

 over and this state has "gone dry," 

 prospects in the flower trade are none 

 too lively. The fact that carnations 

 are selling wholesale this week at a 

 cent apiece is no great source of joy 

 to the long-suffering flai'iBt... Srhis con-
