"Westgate, CaL— Claude W. Smyth has 

 disposed of his intereaet in the California 

 Geranium Co., of S^nta Monica, Cal., 

 and has secured a loDcation liere in the 

 f restless belt, where he will continue to 

 grow geraniums for - the trade, under 

 the firm name of Sm^^th & Co. 



San Francisco, CaL Fred C Buss, for- 

 merly connected with the California Seed 

 Go. and more recentZHy with the Golden 

 Gate park staff, has erected two green- 

 houses and put in sevs^eral f ra.nies at 5318 

 Geary street. He Ss gro-wing various 

 kinds of house andgsarden stock. 



LOS AN—GELES. 



The II lailcet. 



"Everybody busy- this -week" is the 

 best way to size up the situation. Not 

 only has there been ^ lot of good funeral 

 work, but the longa«r eveniiigs seem to 

 lead to various in— door functions for 

 which flowers are n«eeded. The whole- 

 sale houses in the maornings look as busy 

 as in the middle of winter ; should this 

 keep up, the season is likely to prove a 

 record one. Chrysarmthemunos, of course, 

 are everywhere in evidence; there are 

 lots of poor ones, aax always, but a num- 

 ber of extra good ones too. There is 

 much more variety iin these than in for- 

 mer years, growerae having apparently 

 been spending mon»«y freely for novel- 

 ties. Dahlias are st3ill plentiful, but the 

 quality is failing danly. Indoor roses are 

 getting more plentif " uland of better qual- 

 ity. Outdoor flower . s are still good. Car- 

 nations are getting better every week 

 and there is a big"~ variety of outdoor 

 stock to choose fro m. 



Valley is good an d just ahout equal to 

 the demand, which has been much heav- 

 ier in the last week . Orchids are on the 

 short side, but are r^iot much in demand. 

 Greens are plentifii_l and good, but good 

 flowering plants ar^re scarce, with little 

 demand. Cyclameizas are the best offer- 

 ing now. 



VariouBS Notes. 



Howard & Smith-i held a show of dah- 

 lias from their MoaAtebello nursery in the 

 store at Ninth and •Olive streets, October 

 10 and 11. Owing ^to extensive advertis- 

 ing, crowds of peo^)le were present dur- 

 ing both days antZ3 great interest was 

 shown in the flowers exhihited. About 

 150 varieties werr-e staged, including 

 many novelties of r:merit. F. Howard has 

 been working in th e crossing and raising 

 of seedlings for soime time, choosing good 

 types for the par«ents and naming the 

 seedlings for his patrons, which seems to 

 be satisfactory al 1 around— everybody 

 pleased. 



M. L. Germain, cof the Germain Seed & 

 Plant Co., left the city October 11 for a 

 business trip throough Imperial valley, 

 expecting to returcn hf way of San Diego 

 in time for the ec3nvention of the Cali- 

 fornia Nurserymeim 's Association. Busi- 

 ness at the big store has picked up 

 with wonderful qi__iickiies8 this year and 

 the arrival of thes Dutch bulb» gave it 

 another fillip. 



A large numbeer of the trade sig- 

 nified their inten— tion of attending the 

 San Diego converration last week, many 

 making the trip in their ..automobiles. 



Among the latter were H. Turner, who 

 drove J. Dieterich down in his Stod- 

 dart-Dayton, and C. Gutting, who 

 drove his latest machine, of which I 

 have forgotten the name. 



John Morley, park superintendent at 

 San Diego, has been in this city for a 

 few days. 



At Eoeding & Wood's nursery, on 

 Washington street, a lot of fine decora- 

 tive stock is shown, the product of the 

 Laguna Nursery, southeast of the city. 

 All the roses above the smaller sizes are 

 grown at this establishment in wooden 

 boxes, instead of the tin cans which are 

 frequently used, and which appear so 

 ridiculous to the eastern visitor. Most 

 of the novelties and all the standard 

 kinds are included and the stock is in 

 fine shape. 



Fred Sperry reports a good shipping 

 trade already. 



At Wright's Flower Shop I noted an 

 elegant lot of the old Mme. Chatenay 

 rose, which Mr. Wright still grows 

 All the stock is good and, as 

 says, the go«d business days 



largely. 

 "T. W " 



are coming now in twos, threes an*! 

 bunches instead of singly. 



A letter from Leon de Staute, fron. 

 Belgium, states that he just managed to 

 get his stock shipped to Rotterdam before 

 the Germans got to Ghent and that he is 

 coming home with the plants. He has 

 been buying for Howard & Smith and 

 the Germain Seed & Plant Co., of Los 

 Angeles, and for Ed. Bust, of Pasadena.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The florists in San Francisco had a 

 trying time last week, owing to a hot 

 spell of three days. Warm days in San 

 Francisco are never good for transient 

 business and are certainly not good for 

 any quantity of cut flowers that may be 

 on hand. 



This has been a week of chrysanthe- 

 mums. There are some wonderful Queen 

 and some excellent Robinson and Bertha 

 among the whites. Among the yellows
