fern which was given an award at the 

 San Francisco convention. This is a 

 distinct and beautiful thing which is 

 sure to become popular. His cycla- 

 mens, begonias and other stock are com- 

 ing strongly and in fine shape for 

 Christmas. Mr. Gutting has just re- 

 turned from Murrietta Springs, where 

 he took treatments for rheumatism. 



Tony Tassano puts in a good deal of 

 time at the Glendale place, where fern 

 planting is now going on. 



Walter Garbett, manager of Darling's 

 Flower Shop, is back at his post after 

 a severe illness. He reports business 

 good. 



C. A. Brazee is sending in fine cen- 

 taureas from Wilmington. 



At the Pasadena Horticultural So- 

 ciety's meeting, October 1, attempts 

 were made to induce the society to 

 postpone its show one week on purpose 

 to please a Los Angeles newspaper that 

 is backing a show in this 3Hy for ad- 

 vertising purposes on the same dates. 

 President Shields had already been pri- 

 vately approached along the same line. 

 The reception that the delegate re- 

 ceived must at least have convinced 

 him that the Pasadena brethren are not 

 to be fooled "all the time," either by 

 bluff or cajolery. 



S. Murata & Co. report good busi- 

 ness and are making a fine show of 

 mums. 



One of the most successful meetings 

 the Los Angeles Horticultural Society 

 has ever, held took place October 5, at 

 Kruckeberg's hall. Dr. Houghton was 

 the speaker of the evening and his sub- 

 ject was "Begonias." He has col- 

 lected a vast amount of data on the 

 oldest species and varieties of begonia 

 and he has a pleasing way of bringing 

 his subject down to a level that makes 

 it interesting to even the least scien- 

 tific minded of his audience. A large 

 assortment of specimens was used to 

 illustrate the lecture, these being for 

 the most part supplied by James Mc- 

 Gilvray, superintendent of Eastlake 

 park, and W. W. Felgate, of Sierra 

 Madre. The park specimens were 

 strongest in the species, but Mr. Fel- 

 gate 's varieties of the modern tuberous- 

 rooted kinds were superb. The attend- 

 ance was good and Dr. Houghton's re- 

 marks were listened to with the great- 

 est attention. A hearty vote of thanks 

 was given him at the close. 



Howard M. Earl and W. Atlee Bur- 

 pee, Jr., both of W. Atlee Burpee & 

 Co., were in town last week, looking 

 over some of the local seed ranches. 

 They left October 6 for San Diego. 



Friends of Mrs. M. W. Johansen, sec- 

 retary of the Johansen Seed Co., will 

 hear with regret that she has been seri- 

 ously ill for about six weeks. Mrs. 

 Johansen 's illness is in the nature of a 

 nervous breakdown from overwork, but 

 she is improving in health now and all 

 hope to see her around again shortly. 



The new steam heating installation at 

 H. W. Turner's place, at Montebello, is 

 probably the best and most complete in 

 this section and will take care of his 

 heating troubles for a long time. Be- 

 sides the two large boilers, a new pump- 

 ing system has been put in to return 

 condensation water, and another to 

 supply pressure to the crude oil 

 used for fuel. The whole has been 

 covered in, and rests upon a foundation 

 that looks solid enough to withstand 

 German siege gun fire. The new roses 

 in the trial house are extremely inter- 

 esting, 300 different kinds being in

 all the domestic, French and Irish nov- 

 elties. All are plainly labeled, so there 

 is no secrecy about the matter and any 

 grower who is interested can visit the 

 place and form his own conclusions. 

 The newer baby types are especially 

 beautiful- and well worth a visit. Mr. 

 Turner says that every rose grown can 

 be sold now. Of course the cut is not 

 quite so large as it' will be later, as the 

 older plants are now being pruned and 

 put in order for winter, but practically 

 all the young stock is in full work.
