Bloomington, Cal. — A. C. Howell, who 

 is now in the citrus nursery business, 

 is changing to the growing of flowers 

 and ornamentals. 



Hillsboro, Ore. — Three parades July 

 4 and 5 furnished considerable business 

 for the Hillsboro Plant & Flower Gar- 

 den. The decorated baby buggy that 

 took first prize was trimmed with flow- 

 ers from this firm. W. H. Morton looks 

 forward to a good year, as crops in this 

 section look well. 



WALLER GOT MEDAL. 



L. D. Waller, manager of the Guada- 

 loupe seed growing company that bears 

 his name, calls attention that The Re- 

 A'iew has failed to chronicle the fact 

 that his exhibit was awarded a medal 

 at the recent sweet pea show at San 

 Francisco. The official report savs: 

 "The L. D. Waller Seed Co., Guada- 

 loupe, Cal., put up a fine exhibit. In 

 spite of the long distance which the 

 flowers had to travel, they arrived at 

 the show in fine condition, thanks to 

 excellent packing. Mr. Waller was 

 present in person to set them up, and 

 the flowers in arrangement did him 

 every credit. The silver gilt medal 

 awarded was Mell deserved." Mr. 

 Waller adds: "As subscribers to your 

 paper, we consider we should receive 

 acknowledgment of our award through 

 your medium. These displays are put 

 up at great expense and to have our 

 company ignored is annoying. ' ' 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



Last week was an excellent one for 

 business and the coming of the Elks 

 next week should also help. Besides 

 several good wedding decorations, there 

 has been an unusually large amount of 

 good funeral work. Outdoor roses are 

 still good. Some fine Mrs. J. Laing 

 are most attractive; Ulrich Brunner is 

 always a favorite and both are splendid 

 keepers. Asters are improving and 

 some excellent stock is shown. Dahlias 

 continue to make a good show. There 

 is an abundance of good carnations and 

 centaureas. Orchids from the north are 

 meeting with a good demand; so, also, 

 is valley. Greens are plentiful, but 

 plants are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Thomas Chisholm, the well known 

 nurseryman of Pasadena, has purchased 

 a splendid new automobile, a 1916 

 Flanders. 



The monthly meeting of the Los An- 

 geles Horticultural Society was held at 

 Kruckeberg's hall July 6. The lecturer 

 for the evening was Frank Lewin, of 

 Ha.wthorne, and his subject was roses. 

 He gave a short history of the rose, 

 followed by an excellent practical paper 

 on rose culture as it should be practiced 

 in California. He went carefully into 

 the details of planting, pruning, feed- 

 ing and watering. His remarks were 

 closely followed by the exceptionally 

 large audience. A list of roses suitable 

 for growing as bushes, climbers and 

 ramblers was also given. Mr. Lewin 's 



^YOU MAY discontiaue our ad of 

 Mums, as we are completely sold 

 out. Reyiew ads certainly are business- 

 bringers. First order received within 

 24 hours after The Review came, and 

 since then orders coming from as far 

 south and east as Texas, Oklahoma, 

 California and about everywhere. They 

 are still coming, and we shall have to 

 return several containing checks and 

 money orders. 



Baker Floral & Seed Co. 



Baker, Ore., June 7, 1916. 



address was followed by an interesting 

 discussion and the nature of the ques- 

 tions asked showed the deep interest 

 taken in the queen of flowers. The 

 speaker for the August meeting will be 

 P. D. Barnhart and his subject will be 

 ' ' Trials of a Gardener. ' ' 



Two magnificent palls and a number 

 of other fine pieces were among the 

 funeral work turned out by Wolf skills' 

 & Morris Goldenson one morning last 

 week. Some splendid Ulrich Brunner 

 roses from J. B. Menasco adorn the 

 store. 



A receiver 's sale was held at the 

 Claremont Nurseries, Claremont, last 

 week. The bidding on stock was not 

 particularly brisk. 



Fred Howard, of Howard & Smith, 

 has just returned from Ventura. He 

 reports his business as bigger than ever 

 this season, notwithstanding the de- 

 pression in some lines. 



The Pioneer Nursery Co., Monrovia, 

 has built a new greenhouse and sales- 

 room in town, for the convenience of 

 retail patrons. The nursery, while al- 

 ways attractive, is too far from the 

 center of town to be easily reached, 



except by an automobile, and the open 

 ing of the retail department looks liki 

 a good move. It will be in charge ot 

 the widow of the driver who was lately 

 in the employ of Mr. Foster and whos( 

 death was reported in this column. 



H. W. Turner has only just finished 

 one large new house, but it is already 

 filled and the posts and gutters are u]' 

 for another pair. The replanting is 

 practically finished in the large range 

 and the young stock looks fine. Hoosier 

 Beauty is being largely planted this 

 year for red. 



Walter Armacost & Co. are building 

 two more houses and intend to try out 

 a number of the new roses this year. 



G. Newman, of S. Murata & Co., has 

 returned from a visit to the Murrietta 

 hot springs. He says the waters there 

 have been quite beneficial to him, in 

 their effects on his rheumatism. The 

 store force reports big business. 



C. Gutting, of the Superior Nursery 

 Co., has a fern which will probably 

 make a stir at the S. A. F. convention. 

 Mrs. Gutting is in San Francisco, seeing 

 the sights. 



Frank Lichtenberg has obtained the 

 flower concession in the new Broadway 

 department store and will run it as a 

 high-class establishment. 



Polder & Groen are putting in a now 

 reservoir at their ^Eontebello nursery. 

 The pink cyanus being sent in by this 

 firm is novel and attractive.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The last week was the least active 

 for some time, though many florists 

 still say business is better than normal 

 for the season. Offerings in the market 

 have been even larger than before, with
