brother, Paul, in the new nursery at 

 Newmark, where they propose growing 

 stock for their landscape work. 



J. Dieterich is shipping large con- 

 signments of Cocos plumosa to the 

 east. 



The removal of the L. A. Floral Co., 

 from 112 Winston street to more com- 

 modious quarters on Los Angeles 

 street, is worthy of more than passing 

 note. During the short time that Fred 

 Sperry has been manager of the firm 

 the increase in business has been steady 

 and consistent. He has worked up a 

 business that is taking its place among 

 the most successful in the city. 



Tassano Bros, have their new green- 

 houses at Glendale complete and will 

 begin planting at once. 



S. Murata & Co. report fine shipping 

 business and are showing splendid 

 mums from the north. Mr. Murata has 

 removed from the city and now makes 

 his home on Cedar street, Montebello. 



At the meeting of the Pasadena 

 Horticultural Society, September 17, 

 the matter of incorporation was again 

 taken up and various questions asked 

 as to the effect it would have upon 

 present members. President Shields an- 

 nounced that James McGilvray had 

 promised to drive Treasurer Wilson 

 over to each meeting to prevent his 

 resignation on account of his taking 

 charge of the Doheney place, in Los 

 Angeles. His announcement was re- 

 ceived with loud cheers. Mr. Mc- 

 Gilvray urged the members to attend 

 the smoker to be hfild by the society. 



Arrangements for the Pasadena fall 

 show, to be held in Central park, Octo- 

 ber 28 to 30, are under way. Among 

 the special prizes offered are a silver 

 cup for the best twenty-four cut blooms, 

 offered by Thomas Chisholm, of the 

 Pasadena Nursery, and a cash prize of 

 $25, offered by the Germain Seed & 

 Plant Co., of Los Angeles, for best 

 display of flowers and vegetables. 



As a result of a fire which entirely 

 burned out a large warehouse, the 

 Germain Seed & Plant Co. lost a large 

 quantity of seeds and other merchan- 

 dise. Local papers put the loss of stock 

 at $75,000, but according to M. Mey- 

 berg, manager of the company, the loss 

 will be between $40,000 and $50,000. 

 The loss was covered by insurance. 

 Delay has been caused in filling whole- 

 sale orders, owing to the lost stock. 



I have frequently visited the excel- 

 lently arranged home nursery and sales- 

 yard of the Armstrong Nurseries at 

 Ontario, but had never until last week 

 seen the growing quarters. Mr. Arm- 

 strong has some 300 acres, all in nurs- 

 ery stock of various kinds, the fruit 

 end being as well taken care of as the 

 ornamental. Deciduous fruits are 

 grown in immense numbers, as well as 

 citrus, olives and the popular avocados, 

 or alligator pears. In the ornamental 

 end are large blocks of all the most 

 popular conifers, as well as hundreds 

 of thousands of roses and flowering 

 shrubs. J. Elster, formerly with the
