mission, or someone closely connected 

 with it, made the most gross representa- 

 tions as to the conservatory and a fake 

 wash drawing, purporting to be a pho- 

 tograph of the house, was published. 

 The editor admitted to Dr. Houghton 

 that "they had put one over on him" 

 and October 2 he came out with a cut 

 prepared from a photograph showing 

 the true state of affairs. Unfortunate- 

 ly, the text of the article was again 

 inspired from the park commission and 

 absolutely no answer has been made to 

 the criticisms by the society. Accord- 

 ing to this sheet, Commissioner O'Mel- 

 veny naively remarks that "about the 

 only feature which might induce crit- 

 icism was the heavy metal structural 

 work, but he did not feel this should 

 be changed." If it were not so serious 

 a matter to the citizens this would be 

 laughable — the sad part about it is 

 that Mr. O'Melveny, a genuine plant 

 lover and liberal patron of horticul- 

 ture, should, by his association with 

 men who do not care a rush about 

 either, be placed in such a position and 

 have to take so indefensible an atti- 

 tude- 

 Tony Tassano had to be away from 

 business several days, being under the 

 weather, but is back again at his post. 

 Good pompon and single chrysanthe- 

 mums, as well as the larger flowering 

 kinds, are shown here and the consign- 

 ments of French grass move off well. 



Splendid mums are being handled by 

 the Los Angeles Flower Market in large 

 quantities. The quality of the locally 

 grown cattleyas shown here is also ex- 

 tra good. Business is brisk and keeps 

 the whole force on the jump. 



At Wright's Flower Shop the whole 

 of the interior of the store, walls, ceil- 

 ing and pillars, has been covered with 

 birch 1»ark. The effect is most pleasing. 

 New chandeliers and other fittinstf^ive 

 the store quite a novel appearance and 

 the stock, always good, is exceptionally 

 fine just now. The roses and other 

 flowers coming in from the firm's green- 

 houses at Gardena are especially good 

 and reflect great credit on the grower, 

 Mr. Brown. 



Business keeps up well at the store 

 of the Hayward Floral Co., and H. 

 Beeve Darling is well satisfied with the 

 showing this season. 



At the Boserie Flower Shop, on 

 Broadway, wedding and funeral work 

 keeps all busy. C. J. Muller puts in 

 his time between the store and the 

 nursery on Washington street. Fine 

 ferns are being sent in from there. 



Frank Lichtenberg looks much im- 

 proved in health and says he feels bet- 

 ter. "A quiet week" was his report. 



Local advertising seems to be catch- 

 ing. The Bedondo Floral Co. has started 

 in with a card in the Municipal News. 



S. Murata has removed his wholesale 

 department to 751 South Broadway. 



Dieterich & Turner are shipping fine 

 Boston ferns and palms. 



H. E. Eichards. 



San Bernardino, Oal. — George J. Fowl- 

 er, owner of Harlem Springs, is plan- 

 ning the erection of a range of green- 

 houses for the growing of vegetables, 

 fruits and flowers. He is forming a 

 syndicate for the carrying out of his 

 plans, and the initial expenditure may 

 reach $20,000. The natural hot water 

 of Harlem Springs, which is said to 

 have a temperature of 124 degrees as 

 it comes from the ground, will be util- 

 ized in heating the houses. 



WE COVER THE FIELD 



It is not necessary for a retailer to send to one firm for his flowers, another 

 for greens and another for supplies. We keep everything a retailer needs in 

 stock at all times, and we will appreciate your inquiries. We handle the entire 

 cut of 26 large growers of hothouse and outdoor cut flowers and keep in con- 

 gtant touch with the largest and most exclusive eastern supply houses. Our 

 indoor greens are grown under our personal supervision, and we have control of 

 the best localities for wild stock, such as Mexican Ivy, Huckleberry. Ferns and 

 Moss. This is a combination hard to beat.
