chastress carnations. Seventy-eight 

 centerpieces of the same variety of 

 carnations, with Asparagus plfmosus, 

 were used on as many tables. On the 

 speakers' table was a low centerpiece 

 thirty feet long, made of Killarney 

 roses. The pillars in the hall had 

 large, circular baskets of ferns and 



Eendent strings of plumosus. Four 

 undred corsage bouquets and 450 

 boutonnieres were made up for the oc- 

 casion, and among other stock used 

 were 3,500 carnations, 2,000 roses, 4,000 

 freesias and hundreds of potted ferns. 

 The whole affair passed off finely and 

 E. R. Hunt, manager of the flower de- 

 partment, and Miss Rose Lathrop, his 

 capable assistant, came in ' for un- 

 stinted praise for the beautiful effect 

 produced. 



At the Pioneer Nursery, Monrovia, 

 the stock in all departments is look- 

 ing fine and trade is reported brisk. 

 As the place is situated near the beau- 

 tiful Foothill boulevard, there is con- 

 siderable transient trade from auto- 

 mobilists using that thoroughfare. 



Seizo Suzuki, representing the Yoko- 

 hama Nursery Co., of New York and 

 Yokohama, has been several weeks on 

 the coast and left here for the east 

 February 24. Besides calling on the 

 trade, Mr. Suzuki has been superin- 

 tending his firm's exhibit at the San 

 Francisco exposition. 



Large quantities of valley are being 

 shipped daily from the establishment 

 of Murata & Co. The large consign- 

 ments from their regular growers in- 

 sure a good supply at all times. 



Forced lilac and clematis are meeting 

 with a good demand at the nursery of 

 the Germain Seed & Plant Co. 



Continued rains are hindering seed 

 growing and other outdoor work here. 

 After several weeks of wet weather, 

 the last week has been fine and the sur- 

 face was just in condition for work- 

 ing when another storm reached us. As 

 the soil is full of water, the rain does 

 no good, but runs off, causing floods 

 and washouts and delaying business. 

 All seed and nursery planting will be 

 late this season. 



Another well known nurseryman in 

 the hands of the speed cops! Being 

 named after the father of his country, 

 he cannot tell a lie, and as he said he 

 was only going forty-six miles an hour, 

 there is every reason to believe him. 



Jacob Dieterich celebrated his forty- 

 eighth birthday February 23 and was 

 the recipient of congratulations from 

 his hosts of friends here and else- 

 where. H. R. Richards. 



EGYPTIAN PAPEB EEED. 



Can you tell me the name of the tall 

 grass that I have marked in the en- 

 closed picture? It is seen a great deal 

 around Los Angeles homes t The stem 

 is tall and slim, like a reed, and has 

 a bunch of green on the top. J. L. G. 



The plant shown in the photograph 

 accompanying the query of J. L. Q. is 

 the Egyptian paper reed, Papyrus 

 antiquorum. As J. L. G. says, it is 

 largely used in the home gardens 

 around Los Angeles and is the plant 

 from which the papyrus of antiquity 

 was made. It is a most beautiful 

 plant for a sheltered position when it 

 gets plenty of water, being, in fact, 

 quite aquatic in its needs. It will not 

 thrive in a dry position or where cold 

 winds can reach it, but, suitably 

 placed, it throws up immense tasseled
