The Florists^ Review 



69 



The Eose City certainly meets with Mr. 

 Gage's approval. 



Morris Goldenson left for a business 

 trip to San Francisco. August 6. 



Owing to the Facinc Electric Eailway 

 Co. raising the rent from $125 to $150, 

 and also curtailing the privileges ac- 

 corded to the Pacific Electric Florist, 

 this concern decided to close out August 

 1. J. Lang, who has assisted Mrs. 

 Curtet in running the stand here, is 

 out of a situation, but such a useful 

 assistant as he is to anyone with whom 

 he may be associated is not likely to be 

 long idle. 



Business keeps up well at the estab- 

 lishment of the Eedondo Floral Co. The 

 goldfish outfit has been removed, giv- 

 ing needed room at this busy store. 

 Asters continue to arrive in fine order 

 from the Hollywood place. 



Wm. A. and Arthur Grosser, of Four- 

 teenth, street and Central avenue, have 

 made a fine addition to their place by 

 building a conservatory, 34 x 36 feet, 

 over the old front entrance. In the 

 greenhouse last built the roses and other 

 stock are looking well and another 

 house the same size is to be built short- 

 ly. Hot water is used throughout. Wm. 

 Grosser is one of the most successful 

 propagators of Bougainvillea lateritia 

 and a fine batch is now about ready to 

 pot off. 



At the Los Angeles Flower Market 

 the finest gladioli of the season are 

 now, August 7, coming in. The spikes 

 are magnificent and all the best varie- 

 ties are included. Asters in the best 

 shades of purple, pink and white are 

 also coming in, of fine quality and in 

 large quantities. 



C. C. Wooden, lately of Baltimore, 

 who has charge of the office end of 

 Walter Armacost's place at Sawtelle, 

 was in town and says that stock in 

 the new greenhouses is looking fine. 

 Besides several cloth houses and a good 

 deal of lath, devoted to greens and car- 

 nations, 15,000 feet of new glass has 

 been built, and planted principally to 

 young rose stock, which is coming along 

 in fine shape. Business at the retail 

 store at Ocean Park is humming this 

 warm weather, which attracts visitors 

 to all the beach towns.

The Market. 



The business for July was rather 

 quiet, although some firms report an 

 increase of sales over July of last 

 year. A few social events helped some- 

 what, but the bulk of the business was 

 from funeral orders. Carnations have 

 been more plentiful this year than ever 

 before and, while the quality was not 

 up to the standard during the hottest 

 part of the month, the last few days 

 have improved the quality a great deal. 

 Sweet peas were a drug on the market, 

 but roses, lilies and other stock were 

 used up pretty well. 



Various Notes. 



The Spokane Horticultural Society 

 is planning on holding a flower show 

 during the first part of September in 

 one of the large department stores, 

 when prizes will be awarded to ama- 

 teur growers of sweet peas, asters and 

 dahlias. 



The Spokane Greenhouses have incor- 

 porated for $20,000 and will erect

 of Spokane and grow cut flowers and I
