OaMand, Cal. — Business is excellent 

 here; plenty of stock, so that prices 

 are not high, and a sufficient demand 

 to keep things going. 



Santa Monica, Cal. — The Mountain 

 View Nurseries, under the management 

 of Albert V. Amet, has been establish- 

 ing a general nursery and florists' busi- 

 ness since early this year. The sales- 

 yard and flower shop is srtr 1044 Second 

 street, and the plant depot and nursery 

 is being completed at Fifth and Bay 

 streets. For further expansion the 

 company has recently acquired 280 

 acres of land in the Santa Monica 

 mountains, fourteen miles from the 

 salesyard. Mr. Amet is an enthusiastic 

 hybridizer and has recently produced a 

 magenta carnation, Amalya Schoene, 

 and a rose which he is naming Mrs. 

 Woodrow Wilson on account of its ap- 

 proach to a blue color, Mrs. Wilson 's 

 favorite hue. Mr. Amet, Sr., is now on 

 a trip east. 



TACOMA, WASH. 



The Market. 



While nothing in the nature of a 

 rush has been noted, business is better 

 than for some weeks. With the colder 

 weather coming on, and plenty of stock 

 in sight, the prospects are bright for a 

 good holiday trade. Chrysanthemums 

 will be in excellent condition for 

 Thanksgiving, Such varieties as Bon- 

 naffon, Polypheme and Chadwick will 

 be at their best at that time. Carna- 

 tions are still plentiful, but the prices 

 have held well; no price cuttings have 

 been indulged in. All flowers of the 

 finer grades, such as orchids, etc., are 

 scarce here. Few orchids are grown by 

 the local florists. 



^ Various Notes. 



y 



A. E. Buxton, who for the last few 

 months has had charge of the carnation 

 range at Van Slyke & Seamons', has 

 severed his connection with this com- 

 pany and returned to Seattle, where he 

 will engage in the business. 



J. Jacobsen, florist at the Western 

 WashtTigton Insane Asj'lum, has been 

 showing some fine specimen chrysanthe- 

 mum blooms at the rooms of the Com- 

 mercial Club during the last week.

LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



There was a decidedly better tone to 

 business last week and everyone seems 

 satisfied. The biggest rush of chrysan- 

 themums seems to be over; though 

 there are still large numbers of them 

 around the stores, yet they have not 

 piled up so much in the wholesale 

 houses. We have had a heavy rain 

 and there are signs of more; this will 

 probably clean off some of the mums 

 not yet sold. Outdoor roses are fine 

 for this time of the year and La De- 

 troit roses are especially good. Indoor 

 stock is fine, too; Mrs. Geo. Shawyer, 

 My Maryland and Killarney Queen are 

 among the best. Carnations are coming 

 right along and probably never looked
