Walla Walla, Wash. — Plans are be- 

 ing made for a large range of green- 

 houses and equipment for the Walla 

 Walla Hothouse Vegetable Co., by 

 Gordon Turnbull, engineer, Chamber of 

 Commerce, Portland, Ore. The esti- 

 mated cost is $40,000. A gravity heat- 

 ing system and an overhead system of 

 irrigation will be installed. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Review would like to print one 

 or two columns of San Francisco news 

 every issue. Who would like to sup- 

 ply it! 



The correspondent should be on the 

 buying side of the market, not con- 

 nected with any wholesaler. If his 

 ; business brings him into contact with 

 i the trade he will find the news comes 

 ; easy. He also can add appreciably to 

 I his income by looking after subscrip- 

 ; tions and ads. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



There has been a fair call at times 

 during the last week, but not altogether 

 a satisfactory business as a whole. A 

 large quantity of lily of the valley has 

 been handled, notwithstanding the low 

 price of cattleyas, which has been be- 

 low anything previously known here. 

 Boses have been good and have been 

 cleaned up well. Outdoor carnations 

 were out for a day or two owing to 

 rain, but they are in again now. The 

 nights of late have been cold. Slight 

 frosts have been reported from the 

 more exposed places, and the peaks of 

 the San Bernardino and Sierra Madre 

 ^mountains are covered with snow and 

 are strikingly boantiful. This has had 

 the effect of checking the outdoor 

 flowers and running up the fuel bills 

 of the greenhouse men. Christmas 

 greens and red berries are shown and 

 the "holly" is extra good this year. 

 There is quite a large variety in this 

 class of stock, now mostly from the 

 northern woods. There will be plent/ 

 of azaleas in time for Christmas arid 

 other plants are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The election of officers was the prin- 

 cipal business in hafad at the monthly 

 meeting of the Los Angeles County 



''' Horticultural Society, held December 1. 

 The result of the election M-as as fol- 

 lows: President, H. R, Richards; vice- 

 president, W, W. Felgate; treasurer, 

 James McGilvray; secretary, Hal 

 Kruckeberg, Mr, Kruckeberg is a son 

 of H, W, Kruckeberg, who has so long 

 and ably worked in the society's inter- 

 est as secretary, and everyone who 

 knows the young man thinks he will 



■ worthily uphold the traditions of the 

 family, A rising vote of thanks was 

 given the retiring officers. 



A visit to the Lomita greenhouses of 

 Staiger & Mundwiler revealed a good 

 deal of progress being made and every- 

 thing in first-class order. Mr. Mund- 

 wiler rules here and has evidently 

 plenty of work in hand in keeping 

 things going. I noticed a splendid 



ARE YOU SATISFIED? 1 



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 Tbe 

 Review to.be very satisfabtoiy. We 

 have had orders from iill parts 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 

 The Review. — Hogan & Eooyman,

batch of seedling kentias, every seed 

 apparently having germinated. Be- 

 sides the young stock, there are large 

 numbers in all sizes, from the seedlings 

 to fair sized sp^pimens. • In the lath 

 house a lot of choice young nursery 

 stock is growing, as well as numbers 

 of Asparagus plumosus strings just 

 right for the Christmas market. 



The stock at the plant department of 

 Smith & Dieterich is looking fine and 



■^the f.epairs and. alterations at the place 

 are^ get|;ing well under way. The big 

 lath house at Montebello is full of 

 good things, especially some splendid 

 Rhapis humilis, specimens such as are 

 rarely seen, and elegant Phoenix Roebe- 

 lenii. Evidently the new store at Sev- 

 enth and Figueroa streets will not lack 

 good plants in plenty. 



G. Newman, of Murata & Co., has 

 returned from a business trip north 

 and says he has made arrangements 

 for his firm to represent Domoto Bros., 

 of Oakland, in this section, handling 

 all the cut flowers grown by that firm. 

 This will mean some hustling, but they 

 are used to that at Murata 's. 



The H. N. Gage Co. reports goo;i 

 sales and extra good advance orders 

 for Christmas. 



H. W. Turner is getting large orders 

 for his new September Morn rose,i,|;o 

 be disseminated in the spring. He also 

 reports a big shipping business in 

 young stock, from Washington to 

 Florida. The excellent plants and 

 prompt attention to orders, combind^ 

 with careful packing and labeling,' ho 

 doubt lead to this happy result. The 

 cut flower business is away ahead of 

 that of last year.
