The Florists' Review 



59 



tions are useless and prove nothing, but 

 anyone familiar with plant life knows 

 which plants succumb to f ros^ and which 

 do not. Now, at Montebello we have 

 growing outside, with absolutely no pro- 

 tection, Philodendron pertusum (Mon- 

 stera deliciosa) and this fruits regu- 

 larly. Last winter was the coldest 

 known for many years, yet not a leaf 

 was damaged. Bougainvillea lateritia 

 and Ficus pandurata also stood with no 

 protection, while — perhaps the strongest 

 evidence of all — egg plant stands the 

 winter and fruits from 2-year-old plants 

 in May. Now, I will ask any practical 

 man, any man who knows plant life: 

 How much frost would any of these 

 plants stand! Yet Pasadena and other 

 nearby points suffered, even orange 

 trees being killed and ficuses so injured 

 that they will take years to recover. 



The Redondo Floral Co. keeps busy, 

 Mr. Borden being called to the extreme 

 east of the city and also to the west 

 (Hollywood) one day during the week 

 for wedding decorations. 



The gladioli at the Los Angeles 

 Flower Market are particularly fine just 

 now, some of the growers for this con- 

 cern evidently being greatly favored 

 with soil and location. 



During a somewhat hurried call at 

 the Palm Nurseries of Ed. Rust, at 

 South Pasadena, some interesting things 

 were noted. Among the trees and 

 shrubs the crepe myrtles were at their 

 best and flowering finely. These beau- 

 tiful shrubs ought to be much more 

 planted. There are large numbers of 

 magnolias, live oaks and ficuses that are 

 worth going a long way to see, while 

 the stock of vines of all classes is large 

 and in first-rate condition. Rhynchosper- 

 mum jasminoides is an old but most 

 valuable vine for this section and the 

 stock here is large. Palms of all kinds 

 in magnificent order, ornamentals and 

 conifers suited to southern California 

 are grown in immense numbers. The 

 Skinner system of irrigation keeps 

 everything growing in fine shape. In 

 the greenhouses stock of every kind is 

 in grand order, but special mention 

 should be made of some elegant large 

 plants of Adiantum Croweanum in 12- 

 inch and 14-ineh pans. They are mag- 

 nificent stock in every way. In the 

 Qursery Erica blanda is one of the 

 most attractive of plants, and there are 

 many new roses on trial which I should 

 like to mention did space permit. Irish 

 Elegance is the only one I will name, 

 this being one of the most lovely single 

 roses I have ever seen. It should be in 

 everybody's garden. The fine condition 

 of the whole place reflects the greatest 

 credit on all concerned. 



By a slip of the pen, Edendale was 

 mentioned as the site of the new place 

 of Tassano Bros. This should have been 

 Glendale, as all local men will know, 

 but I make the correction for the bene- 

 fit of those not knowing the locality. 

 Tony Tassano is still working hard at 

 planting. 



M. E. H. Kefl"el is still at the Dia- 

 mond Hill Nursery, as he has not yet 

 secured a suitable location for his new 

 venture. He will probably stay the 

 winter now. 



Out-of-town trade continues brisk 

 with S. Murata. He has now about 

 twenty-five growers, .Japanese and 

 American, on his list of shippers and 

 expects to tie up to others this fall. 



Business keeps up well with Freeman- 

 Lewis. The partners have been taking 

 short week-end vacations at Catalina,
