NEW SWEET PEA 



MONROVIA 



For several years this has been the best seller 

 on the Los Angeles and otber local markets, 

 and 1 have decided to offer it to the trade as 

 long as the stock lasts at 



f 8.00 p«r ounc*. 



Monrovia begins to flower when only about one 

 foot high and coniinues to bloom profusely until 

 it reaches 8 feet high outdoors. It will make a 

 splendid greenhouse variety, as the buds do not 

 drop under any conditions The color is a deep 

 purple outside, inside heliotrope, and it is un- 

 questionably the finest winter-bloomlDg parple 

 in existence. The seed has been carefully re- 

 selected from large pods only. It was gathered 

 in April and May in the foothill section, and 

 is consequently mature and of high germinating 

 power. It is an exceptionally stout grower and 

 throws long stemmed flowers all through the 

 season, four to six flowers to the stem. This 

 offer will be withdrawn as soon as present stock 

 is exhausted.

vacation and G. Newman leaves this 

 week for San Diego for his. The re- 

 moval of the oflBce from the front of 

 the store to the center makes it quieter 

 and gives much additional room. 



A 7-year-old nephew of H. N. Gage 

 met with a sudden death at Long 

 Beach. The little fellow had been 

 bathing and went to the roof to hang 

 out his suit. An air shaft with a de- 

 fective cover was the cause of his 

 death; he fell four stories. Mr. Gage 

 has gone to Texas with the boy's 

 mother for the funeral. The boy was 

 one of twins. 



Prank Walter, who is well known as 

 a gatherer of choice native and other 

 seeds, has left San Diego and now lives 

 in Los Angeles. He has a most inter- 

 esting folio of photos of all kinds of 

 trees and shrubs, as well as dried 

 .■specimens. 



Among the funeral pieces at Morris 

 Goldenson 's this week was a fine pall 

 of pink sweet peas and Silver Pink 

 .snapdragons, a pretty combination. 



A week or two away from the rose 

 ■growing establishment of H. W. Turner 

 shows a wonderful difference in the 

 young stock. It has probably never 

 been cleaner or made a better growth 

 than this season and it certainly has 

 never been more interesting, owing to 

 the number of novelties being grown. 

 The lovely pink sport of Prima Donna 

 easily outshines them all, though, and 

 September Morn, as Mr. Turner has 

 named it, will surely be a world beater. 

 It is the most exquisitely tinted pink 

 ever sent out, while its petalage is, if 

 anything, better than that of its par- 

 ent. The petals have also the beautiful 

 serrated edge of those of Prima Donna. 

 The older propagating houses have now 

 been removed to make way for various 

 other buildings. 



It is rumored that R. W. Saakes is 

 leaving his Main street location, where 

 he has been so many years, for one on 

 Broadway, opposite Hamburger's store. 



The subject at the August meeting 

 of the Los Angeles County Horticul- 

 tural Society, held in Kruckeberg's 

 hall, August 4, was "Growing Gladi- 

 oli," by C. E. Houdyschell, of Lords- 

 burg. Mr. Houdyschell has been raising 

 seedling gladioli, irises and other plants 

 for some years and has a pleasant man- 

 ner of speaking. He took his audience 

 through all the phases of the work of 

 growing and storing the bulbs, besides 

 giving the history of many crosses, and 

 was awarded a rising vote of thanks at 

 the end of his speech. Bills for the 

 picnic were presented and ordered paid. 

 In the absence of Secretarj' Krucke- 

 berg, Mrs. Miller, our only lady mem- 

 ber at present, read the minutes and 

 carried out the duties of secretarj'. 



The drowning at Bimini baths of the 

 son of Fire-chief Eley, of this city, was 

 a sad event, but the respect in which 

 Mr. Eley is held was shown by the 

 enormous quantity of funeral pieces 

 made. 



J. M. Grant, the newly appointed 

 countj' forester for Orange county, is 

 already winning golden opinions from 

 the board of forestry and the inhab- 

 itants. He has already over 20,000 

 young stock planted out in the nursery 

 and many more thousands ready to 

 plant. All his Los Angeles friends wish 

 him well. H. R. Richards. 



We are all sold out. The Review did 

 the work and we want to thank jou for 

 it. — W. Bezdek, Cedar Bapids, la.
