SAN DIEGO, CAL. 



Tbe Market. 



Business was rather quiet up to a few 

 weeks ago, but has now picked up con- 

 siderably. The stock now offered is 

 ' \ better and more plentiful than formerly 

 ' and this naturally leads to a better de- 

 mand. Cut roses, carnations and out- 

 ude stock generally are well displayed. 



Various Notes. 



Geo. Otto is settled in his new loca- 

 tion and likes the change. Business is 

 coming his way, he says. A visit to his 

 nursery and growing grounds showed 

 everything in first-clasa shape. The big 

 lath bouse is full of all classes of plants, 

 that deserved more than the passing 

 glance we were able to give them, the 

 "we" in this case being J. Dieterich, 

 H. W. Turner and the writer, or Monte- 

 bello; H. Bockman, representing the 

 Bauer Pottery Co., of Los Angeles, and 

 John Morley, who drove us out in his 

 new Buick. 



Mr. RoUeri, of the California Ever- 

 green Co., Los Angeles, was here last 

 week on a business trip. 



Business was fine at Boyle & Dar- 

 naud's, several large wedding orders 

 having been taken. They now grow 

 nearly all their own stock and the roses 

 were particularly good, several of the 

 new ones being included. I noticed 

 some fine Cattleya labiata and Mr. Dar- 

 naud is highly satisfied with the way his 

 orchids are doing. H. B. Bichards. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



Possibly never before, in the history 

 of the flower business here, has there 

 been so fine a display of chrysanthe- 

 mums as during the last week and it 

 must be confessed that a good deal of 

 the finest of the stock has come from 

 the north. Not but that there were 

 plenty of good flowers from the local 

 gr<^wers, but there was more variety in 

 the' sbipped-in stock and the northern 

 packers seem to be doing better work, 

 so that the flowers arrive without a 

 blemish. The roses are good, with 

 plenty of color, better foliage and more 

 substance. Shawyer is taking well here; 

 so are the newer forms of Killarney, 

 such as Killarney Brilliant and Kil- 

 ,^^ larney Queen. Carnations are about as 



last reported. Centaureas of various 

 kinds are proving themselj^es useful. 

 The small baby roses, as the flowers of 

 Cecile Brunner are called hereabouts, 

 " Are coming again in quantity and they 

 help out finely for wedding bouquets and 

 similar work. Valley is plentiful and 

 of excellent quality, and the demand is 

 increasing weekly. 



Dahlias are past their best and out- 

 door flowers in general are not so good. 

 Sweet peas from the summer crops are 

 about over, but there will be plenty 

 again when the fall-sown rows come in. 

 There is a lot of aphis and mildew this 

 year and much of the outdoor winter 

 stock will be ruined. In greens there 

 are abundant stocks of huckleberry, 

 Mexican ivy, Asparagus plumosus and 



Sprengeri, and maidenhair ferns. Plants 

 are scarce, but the demand is not great. 



Various Notes. 



M. L. Germain, president of the Ger- 

 main Seed & Plant Co., has purchased a 

 new seven-passenger Studebaker. Mr. 

 Germain had the car delivered to him 

 at San Diego, when attending the meet- 

 ing of the California Nurserymen's As-' 

 sociation, and used it there, driving 

 back in it to Los Angeles over the 

 coast route. 



Among the visitors to the San Diego 

 convention was A. H. Post, recently of 

 The Review office. Mr. Post appears to 

 have quite regained his health and looks 

 in fine condition. 



John Vallance, of Oakland, and Mrs. 

 Vallance were among the visitors last 

 week. 



Howard & Smith's store has been 



wonderfully attractive all through the 

 dahlia season and is even more so novr 

 with the mums. Mr. Howard says 1 hat 

 business has been away above his ex- 

 pectations and he is not built along peg. 

 simistic lines either. 



J. Ferrari, of Ferrari Bros., San Fran 

 Cisco, and E. Gill, of Oakland, v. ere 

 among our northern visitors last week. 



The chrysanthemum show at the es- 

 tablishment of Murata & Co. continues 

 to be one of the attractions of town. 



As I write, the preparations for the 

 Pasadena show are in a forward condi- 

 tion. The trade groups are being put 

 up and the private gardeners are bring- 

 ing, in their plants and flowers. "W. 

 Hutchison, president of the society, says 

 that the entries are larger this year 

 than ever before and that the chrysan- 

 themums will be the finest ever seen 

 here or at any other show. They will
