.mailer sizes. Boston and Whitmani 

 terns are still the most popular of the 

 uephrolepis types, with Piersoni as 

 rather a poor third. The demand for 

 small pteria, adiantum and other ferns 

 is above the supply of g6od material. 

 All classes of greens are selling well, 

 but there is no shortage. 



Various Notes. 



T. W. Chisholm, of the Braslan Seed 

 Growers Co., San ,Tose, has been a 

 visitor this week, having just returned 

 from an eastern trip. He reports an 

 excellent trip, from a business point 

 of view. 



The unusual spectacle of a hail 

 storm occurred at Montebello, March 1, 

 and although no particular damage was 

 done, greenhouse men in the vicinity 

 began to be alarmed. The hailstones 

 were about as large as marbles and 

 lay on the ground long enough for the 

 boys to pelt a man driving a motor 

 truck load of oranges, while he re- 

 taliated with the golden fruit. The 

 nursery of the Germain Seed & Plant 

 Co. is only a mile from Montebello and 

 here not a hailstone fell.. 



H. W. Turner, of Montebello, has 

 purchased the El Reah greenhouses at 

 Hollywood and will wreck them at once, 

 probably ysing some of the glass and 

 piping in the new houses to be built 

 this year. It is something of a coin- 

 cidence that Mr. Turner built these 

 houses some years ago for the late Wil- 

 liam Haerle. Observant readers will 

 note that the name El Reah, Spanish 

 sounding as befits southern California, 

 is simply the name Haerle spelled 

 backward. 



R. Overstreet, of the staff at Dar- 

 ling's Flower Shop, i:» the proud father 

 of a babv girl who arrived Febru- 

 ary 26. 



Mrs. Ridley, of the Harbor Floral 

 Co., San Pedro, has been in the city 

 making purchases for the rapidly in- 

 creasing business there. This young 

 couple look like making a great suc- 

 cess out of their business, for both 

 are workers and Mrs. Ridley, who runs 

 the store end, is a lady of pleasant per- 

 sonalitj' and manner, which always 

 count for a great deal in a retail busi- 

 ness.
