NEW SWEET PEA 



MONROVIA 



For several years this has been the best seller 

 on the Los Angeles and otber local markets, 

 and I have decided to offer it to the trade as 

 Ions as the stock lasts at 



98-00 p«r oiinc*. 



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 vnriety, as the buds do not 

 drop under any conditions. The color is a deep 

 purple oiltside. inside heliotrope, and it is un- 

 auestionably the finest winter-bioomlng 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 

 olfer will be withdrawn as soon as present stock 

 is exhausted.

 the northeast corner of Seventh and 

 Figueroa streets. This is to be fitted up 

 as a first-class retail store, with oflBee 

 room for the landscape business of the 

 firm. The store room is 35x60, with a 

 basernent the same size. The houses and 

 premises at Wall street are being reno- 

 vated and the nursery stock will be 

 bandied from here as heretofore, in con- 

 nection with the 25-acre nursery at

 kept up well here.

IMPORTANCE OF TRADE CENSUS. 



In an appeal to the trade to assist 

 in the census of the industry recently 

 undertaken by the Horticultural 

 Trades Association of Great Britain, 

 W. Cuthbertson, of Dobbie & Co., 

 Edinburgh, president of the organiza- 

 tion, says in part: 



"The Council of the Horticultural 

 Trades Association has done many 

 things during the last fifteen years for 

 the benefit of the trade as a whole, 

 but it has never put its hand to a 

 piece of work which is likely to be 

 more helpful than the attempt to se- 

 cure statistics showing the importance 

 of the horticultural trade, in connec- 

 tion with which circulars were re- 

 cently sent out. 



"Everything has been arranged so 

 that no fact or figure sent in will ever 

 get beyond the private room of the 

 eminent accountants who are under- 

 taking the work — no member of the 

 trade will see a single return. The 

 totals only will be furnished to the 

 Council, and these can only be of value 

 and service if they are fairly com- 

 plete. 



"Many hundreds of returns have 

 not yet been sent in to Price, Water- 

 house & Co., and we beg that those 

 who have not sent will give the matter 

 serious consideration at once. It is 

 surely the duty of every trader to do 

 this much to help himself and his 

 fellow-traders. There is an almost 

 continuous cry of want of cohesion in 

 the horticultural trade. When an op- 

 portunity like the present arises, let 

 us for once unite into a solid body. 



"The questions need cause no great 

 difficulty. Every man knows the area 

 of the land he cultivates, and it mat- 

 ters not whether it is freehojd or lease- 

 hold for the purpose of Question 2. 



"Question 3 asks the area of glass- 

 houses — that is the area of ground 

 covered with glass in square feet. This 

 also is simple. If a grower has five 

 houses, each 20x100 feet, that is equal 

 to 10,000 square feet. 



"The average number of employees 

 (Question 4) is more difficult, espe- 

 cially when casual labor is employed, 

 but all that is expected is an honest
