PACIFIC COAST. 



LOS ANGELES, CAL. 



Jack Ortignac, who for the past year 

 has conducted the floral department of 

 the Broadway Department Store, has re- 

 tired, and taken his old position with 

 Morris Goldensen, and Mr. Bertrand 

 takes his place at the department store. 



A. F. Borden, who has been in charge 

 of the store of the Bedondo Floral Co. 

 for a number of years, has retired, and 

 will start a store of his own in the Henny 

 building on Third street, near Spring. 

 Henry Friend, Mr. Borden's able sec- 

 ond, will assume the management for the 

 Redondo Co. Still more changes have 

 taken place with this company. Mr. 

 Lacy, the man in charge of the green- 

 houses, also has retired and gone into 

 business for himself in Redondo. 



J. W. Wolfskin, the leading florist in 

 the upper part of the city, has rented a 

 large building on Fourth street, one door 

 west of the Angelus hotel, and will put 

 in the finest florists' store in the west. 

 ,Mr. Wolfskin is one of -Los Angeles' 

 pioneers and wealthy business men. The 

 florists' business is one of his hobbies, 

 and he proposes to have the best. David 

 Wolfskin, his oldest son, is manager. 

 In contemplating this extensive plan they 

 sent George Watson, the manager of the 

 growing end of the business, on a three 

 months' visit to Europe and through the 

 east. He has just returned with many 

 new ideas. Mr. Lundy is head designer 

 and decorator, and with this crew they 

 will be sure of success. 



HARDWOODED STOCK. 



Propa£atia£. 



There are few varieties of hard-wood- 

 ed cuttings that cannot be successfully 

 rooted at this season of the year. I re- 

 fer to evergreens fuUy as much as to 

 deciduous trees and, although it may 

 take several months to root many of the 

 slower kinds, there is no more danger in 

 handling them, and the chances are fuUy 

 as good as with quick rooting stock. 

 With conifers I find that the best re- 

 sults are obtained by using cuttings from 

 the youngest growth on the tree. This 

 is always matured enough at this season, 

 after a dry, hot summer, and the ten- 

 dency to callus and make roots is strong. 

 With some kinds of deciduous trees and 

 shrubs better success may be' had with 

 older stems than the latest growth, but 

 this can be regulated by the pith in the 

 cutting, always bearing in mind that the 

 smaller the amount of pith the better 

 the chance to root it. 



I have tried various soils for many 

 years in the handling of hard wood cut- 

 tings and I have for several years used 

 half sandy loam and half clear sand in 

 my cutting boxes. I use about one and 

 one-half inches of each, with the sand 

 on top. It is not a good plan to have 

 the lower layer of soil too fine, as the

tendency seems to be in such cases to 

 make a definite line of demarkation on 

 the cutting and the cutting often com- 

 mence^ to rot at this point. This is 

 especially noticeable in stock that is slow 

 to root. 



Considerable judgment must be used 

 on the proposition of overhead heat dur- 

 ing the winter season. We get so many 

 warm days, when the temperature often

climbs up to 85 or 90 degrees during 

 the middle of the day, that this must be 

 well provided for. Even shading heavily 

 will not niake up for an extraordinary 

 degree of heat if there is glass overhfad. 

 For this reason it is much more prefer- 

 able to do most of your propagating in 

 a lath house on a raised bench. It is 

 equally as difficult to root cuttings suc- 

 cessfully if they are allowed to become 

 too damp and cold for an extended pe- 

 riod. They apparently lose their vitality 

 and die in a short time.

of water to be used, the condition of 

 the weather and the variety of cutting 

 grown must regulate. Under the usutJ 

 treatment evergreens will use a little 

 more water than deciduous stock and at 

 the same time they are a little slower to 

 root. This may seem paradoxical, but it 

 has been my observation that until de- 

 ciduous stock begins to grow it should 

 be kept rather dry, and the opposite 

 condition suits evergreens. 



As to the disposition of cuttings after 

 they are callused, it is usually a good 

 plan to leave them in the boxes an entire 

 season after they are rooted. This may 

 not do in all cases, but if they are not 

 grown too close together I have found 

 that it is advantageous to give them a 

 year's growth before they are potted or 

 planted in the open ground. This gives 

 them a good, heavy set of roots and they 

 will take hold better when given a 

 chance under more favorable conditions.

PAOHC COAST SOCIETY. 



On the evening of November 3 a reg- 

 ular meeting of the Pacific Coast Horti- 

 cultural Society was held in the park 

 lodge in Golden Gate park, San Fran- 

 cisco. John McLaren, superintendent of 

 the park, showed the plans for beautify- 

 ing San Francisco with an extensive sys- 

 tem of parks and boulevards, as drawn 

 by Architect Burnham, of Chicago. Mr. 

 Burnham was engaged by the city au- 

 thorities to. make these blue prints, and 

 for suggestions they were submitted by 

 Superintendent McLaren to the land- 

 scape gardeners of the horticultural so-
