OLIVE TBEES BY THE MILLION. 



The Gibraltar Investment & Home 

 Building Co., owner of what are said 

 to be the largest olive nurseries in the 

 world, has added another link to its 

 chain of more than thirty nurseries in 

 southern California by acquiring land 

 at Hemet upon which is to be installed 

 a propagating plant for nursery stock 

 which will have but one rival, it is said, 

 on the Pacific coast — that now under 

 constriction on the holdings of the 

 company at San Bernardino. Isaiah 

 Martin, president of the corporation, 

 has for some months been adding to its 

 nursery and other holdings in an ef- 

 fort to keep pace with the increasing 

 demand for olive trees, and states that 

 within a short time the company will 

 have more than 6,000,000 olive cuttings 

 under propagation. 



At Hemet the company already has 

 Bix large nurseries in which a large 

 assortment of nursery stock in general 

 i£ being propagated, and, in addition, 

 will sbon have 3,000,000 olive cuttings 

 under cultivation. Hotbeds, etc., are 

 now being prepared for their earthing. 

 The new plant at Hemet, with the ex- 

 <5eption of the one at San Bernardino, 

 of which it is to be a duplicate, will 

 t)e the largest on the Pacific coast de- 

 voted to the raising of olive stock for 

 orchard purposes. H. J. Wippert, as- 

 sistant general manager of the nur- 

 sery and land department of the Gib- 

 Sltar Co., and superintendent of the 

 emet branch, will have charge of the 

 plant's erection under the direction of 

 Q. H. Wilhite, vice-president of the 

 corporation.

The Market. 



Chrysanthemums are leaders in the 

 market now, the stock being good as 

 well as plentiful. BonnaflEon is the 

 most popular in yellow, with Appleton 

 a close gecond. Local grown flowers 

 are much better than a week ago and 

 fresher than those shipped in from the 

 north. All have cleaned up well so 

 far and the price has been well main- 

 tained. Indoor roses are plentiful and 

 of excellent quality generally. Beau- 

 ties are fine in color and stem. The 

 Killarneys are good and My Maryland 

 is much improved. The stems being cut 

 from young plants run from eighteen 

 to twenty-four inches in length. Car- 

 nations are overplentiful, as are cen- 

 taureas and outdoor stock generally. 

 Orchids are more plentiful, fine local 

 gro^n flowers of Cattleya labiata being 

 among the best offerings. Gladioli still 

 are arriving in large numbers, but clean 

 up fairly well. Smilax is more plenti- 

 ful now, some elegant strings being 

 shown, and there are plenty of all other 

 greens, including a rush-like grass 

 which is known locally as •'French." 

 Business continues good, wholesalers 

 And retailers being well satisfied. Wed- 

 ding decorations and funeral work still 

 form the principal outlet.
