August 27, 191). 



NEW SWEET PEA 



MONROVIA 



For several years this has been the best seller 

 on the Los Angeles and other local markets, 

 and I have decided to offer it to the trade as 

 long as the stock lasts at 



9S.OO par ounc*. 



Monrovia begins to flower when only about one 

 foot high and continues 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 

 piurple outside, inside heliotrope, and it is un- 

 auestionably the fiaest wioter-blooming purple 

 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 conseauently 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 offer will be withdrawn as soon as present stock 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.

ing the convention of the S. A. F. for 

 1915. Now that the matter has been 

 decided, there are everywhere move- 

 ments afloat for entertaining , the mem- 

 bers of the S. A. F. as they' should be 

 entertained in an exposition city. Dele- 

 gates from San Francisco have secured 

 the convention of the National Gar- 

 deners' Association for 1915 also. 



Chas. C. Navlet, of San Jose, has 

 been visiting San Francisco and re- 

 ports that business during the last 

 month has been excellent. Mr. Navlet 

 specializes in raising seeds and aside 

 from his retail business has had his 

 hands full looking after his seed farm. 



Patrick Orr, who has been spending 

 some time on his ranch in Chico, re- 

 turned to the citj Thursday, August 20, 

 much improved in health. 



Albert O. Stein has been snatching a 

 few moments of recreation by taking 

 week-end trips to some of the Lake 

 county resorts. Mr. Stein reports an 

 excellent month and prospects of a 

 busy winter season. 



L. Gootsch, of the Gaiety Flower 

 Shop, is still enjoying his extended out- 

 ing. During the quiet season Mr. 

 Gootsch regularly makes a camping 

 trip to various sections of the state. 



E. W. McLellan and family are spend- 

 ing an ideal summer season touring the 

 state in their car. Mr. McLellan im- 

 provised a trailer for his machine, 

 which he loaded with all the best pro- 

 visions that money could buy, and so 

 his party is independent of hotels on 

 the road. Mr. Axell, who is looking 

 after Mr. McLellan 's interests, is of- 

 fering a fine lot of Lilium rubrum and 

 some good gardenias. This firm has 

 gone heavily into gardenia growing and 

 has found it a profitable line.

The Market. 



Business is fairly good for the sea- 

 son and «liows a decided improvement 

 as compared with its condition a few 

 weeks ago. Good roses are scarce and 

 in good demand. Some outside roses 

 are coming in, but their quality, as 

 might be expected after such a long 

 dry season, is not extra. Carnations 

 are not any too plentiful and a stiffen- 

 ing of price took place this week. 

 There is more old stock in the houses 

 this year than ever before, so that 

 there should be no great shortness of 

 supply before the young plants come 

 into bearing, as is usually the case. 

 Asters are now the popular flowers, 

 and of these there is a fair supply in 

 the inferior grades. Those of the best 

 quality, as usual, are scarce and bring 

 good prices. Gladioli are plentiful, but 

 large quantities are used, so that there 

 is no glut of them. Lilium rubrum 

 is not selling so well as usual and 

 auratum is not much grown. 



Lily growers for Easter received con- 

 signments of bulbs direct from Japan 

 this week. 



Various Notes. 



Gus Bjorkman was up in Vancouver, 

 B. C, last week. Business there, he 

 says, is much demoralized on account 

 of the war. 



William Chisholm, chaplain of Clan 

 Mackenzie, in this city, is a devoted 

 rosarian and. cultivates most of the 

 latest varieties, being also somewhat 

 particular in the nomenclature of his 

 pets. A recent acquisition came into
