well. All sorts of green stuff had heavy 

 sale, even heavier than last ^season. 



Owing to the continued warm 

 weather, the supply of flowers was the 

 greatest ever seen here. Funeral trade, 

 however, continues brisk and uses up 

 almost all the light colored stock, so 

 that, even with only the suitable flow- 

 ers in great demand, the excess of 

 showy colored stock is not noticed. 



Various Notes. 



J. Alfred Johnson, representing the 

 Turlock Nursery Co., of Turlock, Cal., 

 is in town interviewing the local 

 dealers. 



John Vallance, of C. C. Morse & Co., 

 has returned from a trip to Los Angeles 

 and vicinity. 



Charles Hoag is with the Hollowell 

 Seed Co., at the Market street store.

BOSES IN CALIFOBNIA. 



[A paper by John Gill, of West Berkeley, Cal., 

 read at the convention of the California Associa- 

 tion of Nurserymen, at Los Angeles, Cal., 

 November 23, 1911.] 



The cultivation of field-grown roses 

 in California has assumed large propor- 

 tions within the last few years. This 

 refers not only to plants grown on their 

 own roots, but to budded stock as well, 

 and it is only within a comparatively 

 short time that the latter sort has be- 

 come so popular that many hundreds of 

 acres are devoted to it. Many roses are 

 of highly satisfactory growth when 

 raised on their own roots. By this 

 statement is meant that they root 

 easily, grow strongly and transplant 

 readily. These are ideal conditions 

 when they exist and are the only things 

 to be considered if we would make a 

 success in handling stock after this 

 method. Unfortunately, a majority of 

 our best sorts only possess one or two 

 of these essentials, and, unless all these 

 qualities are present, the effort with 

 that particular variety can not be 

 deemed a good risk. 



Some roses root readily, but the qual- 

 ity of the roots is not such that they 

 are to be recommended for transplant- 

 ing purposes. This is a serious point 

 and one that has caused great annoy- 

 ance, but it might be well to state here 

 that this characteristic is controlled 

 largely by the quality of the soil, the 

 plan of irrigation pursued and the 

 amount of cultivation given. Each con- 

 tention mentioned here has a direct 

 bearing on all the others, and even 

 under the best possible conditions many 

 kinds will not make sufiicient growth 

 of either top or root to make salable 

 plants in a reasonable time. Many 

 pages might be written on any of the 

 phases mentioned here, and as one 

 thought leads to another we will now 

 turn our attention to budded stock. 



Planting the Wild Stocks. 



First of all, let us consider the proper 

 time for planting the wild stocks. This 

 is so dependent on climatic conditions 

 for the ripening, heeling in when neces- 

 sary, and lining out, that every location 

 is a law unto itself, and local condi- 

 tions can not be handled in a general 

 way. Presuming, then, that the stock 

 is made into cuttings of usoal length 

 and caliber, of well ripened wood and 

 free from borers or ether pests, we 

 will next note the soil. Boses, as we 

 all know, prefer stiff, heavy loam, with 

 good drainage. An excess of sand means
