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 par eunc*. 



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 

 ■plendid greenhouse variety, as the buds do not 

 drop under any conditions. The color is a deep 

 purple outside, inside heliotrope, and it is un- 

 auestionably the finest wlnter-blooming pnrple 

 in existence. The seed has been carefully re- 

 •elected 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 offer will be withdrawn as soon as present stock 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.

 funeral commodity. There are a great 

 many gardenias, good, large flowers, 

 available. 



Cattleyas are at a premium, and there 

 are practically none to be had. We see 

 here and there odd sprays of Yanda 

 coerulea and Epidendrum O'Brieni. Odd 

 orchids are finding a good place in bas- 

 ket arrangements among our local flo- 

 rists, more so this season than ever 

 before. The public is beginning to 

 appreciate other orchids than the cat- 

 tleya, of which we always have an 

 abundance throughout the year. 



A few Bermuda lilies work in well 

 at this season. Lilium rubrum is on 

 the decline, but there is still enough 

 to be had. 



Violets, which really are of little 

 merit until they have received the early 

 rains, sell well, but do not last long. 

 There are a few cyclamens available, but

The Market. 

 There has been a good demand for 

 flowers of late and storekeepers are hard 

 pressed to fill orders, as the stock of 

 most staple varieties has been scarce. 

 To relieve the situation, liberal orders 

 for chrysanthemums have been sent to 

 California and the quality of the flowers 

 now coming from there leaves nothing 

 to complain of. With no local stock of 

 mums yet in the market, the shipping 

 in of outside flowers is unavoidable. 

 Carnations continue scarce and of sec- 

 ondary quality. Roses are more plenti- 

 ful than they have been and the quality 

 improves. Asters are fine and are sell- 

 ing well. Of flowering plants in pots, 

 only small quantities can be seen in 

 stores or houses, but this stimulates the 

 sale of ferns and other foliage plants, 

 of which there are good numbers. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. L. W. McCoy had the decorations 

 for the fall openings in the Bon Marche 

 and Frederick E. Nelson department 

 stores last week. The handsome store 

 on Third avenue is under process of 

 renovation, Fred H. Rowe, the genial 

 manager here, is wearing a broad smile 

 at the prospect of increasing business. 



The H. Harrington Co. has relin- 

 quished the store on Pike street and 

 now conducts all business from the 

 Fourth avenue establishment. 



Fred Smith, of the Smith Floral Co., 

 Tacoma, was judge of the florists' ex- 

 hibit at the dahlia show here last week. 

 Mr. Brown, of Brown Bros. & Co., Van- 

 couver, B. C, had consented to officiate 

 in this capacity, but word received Sep- 

 tember 16 notified the society that he 

 was in the hospital. 



Ralph D. Richardson is doing con- 

 siderable business in shipping flowers 

 and plants to outside points. His stock 

 of carnations, chrysanthemums, etc., is 

 looking fine in his two ranges at 

 Brighton, 



After one of the driest seasons on 

 record, the rain is with us once more. 

 Outside flowers were in many cases be- 

 yond recovery, but where a moderate 

 amount of care has been taken they are 

 looking refreshed and rejuvenated. 



H. E. Richards, the West Queen Ann 

 florist, has just completed the erection 

 of a new store at his greenhouses on 

 Queen Ann hill. The business here had 

 suffered from neglect, but under Mr. 

 Richards' careful attention a good busi-

Field Roses 



It is Quite within the line of possibilities 

 that Nurserymen and Florists who depend 

 upon a stock of ROSES FROM EUROPE 

 will be without roses this season if that is 

 their only source of supply. It may be that 

 American -grown stock at fair prices will 

 look awfully good to many of you. How 



would it be to engage a fair stock now, be- 

 fore the unusually heavy demand clean 

 up the market on choice sorts?
