Pacific Coast Department 



MarysviUe, Oal. — Mrs. Ida Hudspeth 

 has opened a flower store at 114 B 

 street. Mrs. Hudspeth was formerly 

 secretary of the Loomis Carnation Co. 

 As she has the only flower store in a 

 city of several thousand inhabitants, it 

 is no wonder that she reports a good 

 business from the first day. 



OaMand, Cal. — A Japanese, garden is 

 being laid out in Lakeside park accord- 

 ing to plans perfected mainly by F. K. 

 Domoto, of Domoto Bros. It is the re- 

 sult of the efforts of the Chamber of 

 Commerce, park board and Mr. Domoto, 

 Mr. Domoto having contributed his time 

 and knowledge toward this addition to 

 the city's adornment. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



Business has been far better this 

 week, especially among the wholesalers, 

 as out-of-town shipping is more than 

 usually heavy for this season. Prices 

 are better, and altogether there is a 

 firmer tone. Horticulture is certainly 

 holding its own here, for, in spite of 

 some depression in other lines and a 

 scarcity of money, both florists and 

 nurserymen say that business is well up 

 to the average for November. Chrys- 

 anthemums are still coming in, but 

 they are past their best and the rush 

 is over for another year. Carnations 

 are excellent in every way, with good 

 color, fine stems and an almost com- 

 plete absence of splits. Roses are 

 good, both from indoors and outside, 

 and there is a large variety of outdoor 

 herbaceous stock that meets with a 

 fair demand. 



Plants usually associated with Christ- 

 mas, such as Begonia Gloire de Lor- 

 raine, cyclamens and others, are seen 

 around the retail stores in increasing 

 numbers and help to brighten things 

 up. There is a good deal of small 

 stock around this season, both ever- 

 green and flowering, and retailers will 

 probably take advantage of this to fix 

 up good baskets for the holidays — a 

 phase of the business that is usually 

 somewhat neglected here. 



Various Notes. 



Progress is evidently the word at 

 R. Fischer's place, at Santa Anita, 

 Realizing, after his losses by frost two 

 years ago, that there is danger in leav- 

 ing choice freesias outside without pro- 

 tection, Mr. Fischer is gradually get- 

 ting all his stock under glass. He has 

 now twenty-four large houses devoted 

 entirely to his choice hybrid freesias 

 aad the stock is in such elegant shape 

 this year that the writer, for one, is 

 anxiously looking forward to the flow- 

 ering season, for a visit then will surely 

 be worth while. Considerable stock of 

 some of the novelties has already been 

 worked up, but Mr. Fischer's selection 

 is so rigid and careful that it is un- 

 likely that any of them will be sent 

 out before 1916. Most readers will 

 remember, of course, that Mr. Fischer 

 was the originator of the now well 

 known Purity, but some of those he is 

 working on will leave this at the post. 

 It may be noted that it is decidedly 



ARE YOU SATISFIED? 



Any florist on the Pacific coast not 

 satisfied to do a local retail business 

 can build up a prosperous wholesale 

 trade by using space in The Review to 

 let the buyers know where stock is to 

 be found. This way: 



We have found advertising in The 

 Beview to be very satisfactory. We 

 have had orders from all pax to of the 

 United States, as well as from the Pa- 

 cific coast, showing that your valued 

 paper has a very wide circulation. At 

 any time we have any special advertis- 

 ing to do we certainly shall send it to

a family affair with the Fischers, as 

 Mrs. Fischer and their children are all 

 taking a keen interest in the work. 



I had not visited the establishment 

 of Polder & Groen for a long time, 

 until a recent Sunday, and must cer- 

 tainly congratulate this young but en- 

 terprising firm on the splendid progress 

 made. Good soil, careful treatment 

 and the knowledge of the right kind 



of stock to grow have been the founda- 

 tion of success here. Hundreds of 

 thousands of young carnations are al- 

 ready in the sand and many of them 

 are well rooted. A new variety of 

 white here is certainly a grand thing. 

 It is to be sent out this year, under 

 the name of H. W. Turner, Jr., and it 

 seems to be a good keeper, free, pure 

 white, and produced on long, stiff 

 stems. Not only is it superb under 

 glass, but — what is even more impor- ' 

 tant in this section — it thrives well 

 outside and in cloth houses. Space 

 will not permit a mention of half the 

 good things grown here, but the fine 

 Boston and sword ferns in the lath 

 houses, the conifers, English laurel and 

 other nursery stock outside, and the 

 thousands of splendid cool-grown car- 

 nations now ripe for shipment, demand 

 a passing note. These young men, since 

 coming here, have obtained the confi- 

 dence of all with whom they have 

 come in contact and great credit is due 

 them both.
