poor and outdoor stock. Lily of the 

 valley and good rosea are especially in 

 demand here. 



C. Gutting, of the Superior Nursery 

 Co., had the misfortune to have his auto- 

 mobile stolen last week. He recovered 

 it later, but it was stripped of every- 

 thing movable. Mr. Gutting is pushing 

 small stock and vegetable plants and 

 reports fine business. 



Miss Kate Parsons, of Fresno, has 

 been in this city, 'resting up," she 

 says, but she seems to be moving around 

 in pretty lively fashion, getting a line 

 on various sorts of stock. 



The February meeting of the Los 

 Angeles County Horticultural Society 

 was postponed from February 2 for one 

 week, on account of the bad weather, 

 which made it impossible for those re- 

 siding far out of, town to reach it. E. 

 D. Sturtevant, of Hollywood, was to 

 have spoken on aquatics and it was 

 thought that such a veteran expert iu 

 this interesting class of plants should 

 at least have a good audience. Mr. 

 Sturtevant kindly promised to speak 

 February 9, instead. 



Murata & Co. continue big shipping 

 business and the stock is cleaned up 

 well daily. 



L. L. Morse, of C. C. Morse & Co., 

 San Francisco, was in town last week. 



The L. A. Floral Co. is handling some 

 extra choice cut Easter lilies, an( 

 F. Sperry and P. Miller have 

 coats off and sleeves rolled up these 

 days. 



The heavy rains, while needed for 

 the general good, have held up nursery 

 shipments considerably. The Germain 

 Seed & Plant Co., with its big mailing 

 list, always has a busy time just after 

 the catalogue goes out and many orders 

 for nursery stock had to be held up on 

 account of the wet condition of the 

 land. 



Fine carnation stock is being sent in 

 by Polder & Groen, of Montebello. The 

 quality of everything grown at this 

 establishment reflects considerable credit 

 on the firm. An auto truck is to be put 

 on the road shortly.

Business has been brisk this week at 

 the flower stores. Social affairs have 

 been numerous and all the public 

 schools have been holding graduating 

 exercises. Flowers are used quite ex- 

 tensively by the girl graduates and 

 there have not been enough carnations, 

 daffodils, cut tulips or other stock to 

 go around. A large quantity of stock 

 has been used up in funeral work and 

 the demand from outside florists has 

 been strong. The supply of carnations, 

 daffodils, roses and bulbous cut flow- 

 ers has increased materially, but prices 

 have not been affected. 



In potted stock the bulbous types are 

 the leading sellers and some splendid 

 specimens of tulips, hyacinths and 

 freesias are shown. All of the retail- 

 ers who have had time to figure say 

 that their business for January shows 

 an increase over last year. Some of 

 the stores are displaying decorations 

 suggesting Valentine's day. 



Orders are piling up with the nur- 

 serymen, who are unable to do much 

 shipping on account of the recent heavy 

 rains. The volume of the orders re- 

 ceived is about the same as last year. 

 Seedsmen are shipping advance orders
