Among the Growers. 



A recent visit to the various growers' 

 establishments shows that everything is 

 in pretty good shape for the coming win- 

 ter. At the Mud Lake establishment, of 

 which Ben Boldt is proprietor, the plant 

 stock for Christmas is exceptionally good. 

 Poinsettias from the California stock of 

 last year are equal to their progenitors, 

 which were at the highest state of per- 

 fection and proved quite profitable. In 

 a house of this plant I noticed a large 

 batch , of them grown in 6 and 7- 

 inch pots that were carrying three to six 

 leaders or heads, which had not lost any 

 of their vigor by having been pinched 

 back twice during the growing season. 

 Those plants were struck in mid-winter, 

 which enables the grower to produce, 

 under this system of cutting, a more 

 attractive plant than the single stem. 

 Mr. Boldt 's pans ot poinsettias are more 

 promising, if anything, and bid fair to 

 be more attractive than last year. He 

 has interspersed among the large plants 

 a late propagation of dwarf stock which 

 fills iip the naked space between the stems 

 and also covers the surface of the pans. 

 Lilium Harrisii and speciosum in va- 

 rieties are being forced for Christmas 

 trade. The Harrisii are strong and 

 healthy, no sign of disease and without 

 the loss of a singlor plant in a batch of 

 several hundred. 



Prominent among the potted stuff at 

 the Park Floral Company's is a house 

 each of cylamen. Begonia Lorraine and 

 one of poinsettias. Cyclamen are a hobby 

 of the foreman, Mr. Sked, who for sev- 

 eral years has given a close study to " 

 cross breeding and culture, the results 

 of which have been many new colors of 

 peculiar formation and large size. Lor- 

 raines will be of a more profitable char- 

 acter than last year, as they will not be 

 so far advanced and will carry more 

 flowers at the holiday time. Poinsettias 

 will be up to their usual character — dark

in foliage and strong in bract formation, 

 A large part of this stock is grown in 

 pans and finds a more profitable market 

 than the single-stemmed ones. In fact, 

 the culture of the begonia and cyclamen, 

 as well as the poinsettia, when grown in 

 pans from their earlier stage of exist- 

 ence, gives more satisfaction to all con- 

 cerned than when transformed at a later 

 date from larcre pots to pans and then 

 offered for sale. This firm also grows a 

 quantity of Primula obconica and Sine- 

 nsis in pans for holiday trade. 



The Colfax Avenue Floral Company is 

 also a large grower of the poinsettia 

 and have had a house full of very cred- 

 itable stock. This firm also grows mis- 

 cellaneous potted stuff extensively for 

 Christmas trade. 



I notice most of the azalea growers 

 are importing a better (fharacter of 

 plants than heretofore, so prices will 

 probably go up on them at Christmas.
