will perish of thirst. Meanwhile busi- 

 ness flourishes at the store and J. Gor- 

 don and Walter Garbett have their 

 hands full. 



Charles Morton, of the Los Angeles 

 Flower Market, has been on a business 

 trip to San Francisco. 



Several large decorations have been 

 carried out by the Hayward Floral Co. 

 In one an 8-foot centerpiece of Harry 

 Kirk roses was used, and in another 

 every room in the house was decorated 

 with flowers of a different color. 

 J. Reeve Darling, the proprietor, was 

 recently the victim of a check fraud, 

 but, I am glad to say, recovered his 

 money. 



Stewart Bros, report business in de- 

 ciduous and citrus fruit trees good, 

 their orange trees having been only 

 slightly hurt by the recent frost. 



Excellent business is reported by the 

 Ingleside Floral Co. Considerable sym- 

 pathy is felt for A. W. Ross, the prin- 

 cipal owner of this business, in the ill 

 health of Mrs. Ross, which will prob- 

 ably necessitate her leaving the city 

 for the purer air of the ranch. 



' ' Great business, ' ' says Frank Lich- 

 tenberg, of Thee norists. "Too busy 

 to talk." 



Away out on North Main street or 

 thereby, 652 South Griffin avenue, to 

 be exact,- the Standard Pottery Co. 

 has its offices and works, and here we 

 found Messrs. Anderson and Brown as 

 busy as the proverbial bee. Florists 

 and nurserymen who are seeking some- 

 thing artistic and good in the way of 

 ornamental pottery regularly run out to 

 see the stock of this class of goods — 

 see it in the making and see the fin- 

 ished product. Big Indian bowls, bas- 

 kets, vases, window boxes and every- 

 thing for the florists' or cemetery use 

 is here in the greatest variety, not 

 forgetting the hundreds of thousands 

 of the common though useful flower 

 pots. Both clay and workmanship are 

 good, and the result is a clean, well- 

 baked pot, light, strong and red, which 

 is being dispatched all over the coast 

 in carload and smaller lots. 



The store at 337 South Spring street 

 has had a varied career since Mrs. 

 Dolphin opened it, and it is out of the 

 running now. Musical instruments and 

 talking machines adorn the window. 



George Leaver, of the Los Angeles 

 Nursery, is going in more largely for 

 bulb-growing and cutting out some of 

 the nursery stock. Mr. Leaver is an 

 old Review reader, having taken the 

 paper since its first issue.

 on Fourth street, the magnificent silver

Monica and other race meetings have 

 been on display, six splendid trophies, 

 one said to be valued at $5,000. Extra 

 help has been used here to keep up 

 with the rush of decorations. 



Fred Rafferty, of Santa Ana, is send- 

 ing in fine Roman hyacinths. 



Henry Turner, of Dieterich & Tur- 

 ner, Montebello, intends to make his 

 new rose houses wider; 60x300 feet 

 each will be the size of the houses in 

 the new range to be built this summer. 

 "The truth is often spoken in jest," 

 and the christening of this place as 

 ' ' Heisse Luft ' ' was certainly prophetic. 

 While all around, frost cut tomatoes 

 and other tender plants, not a leaf was 

 injured here, even on such tender stock 

 as Bougainvillea lateritia and philo- 

 dendrons. 



Howard & Smith are working on 

 several important landscape contracts 

 and report -inquiries for spring business 

 good. The budded roses are perfect 

 this year, forty acres of them at the 

 rose grounds at Gage, and the output 

 will this year be close to a million. 

 At Montebello everything is in fine 

 trim, while the specimen grounds in 

 the city are well worth a visit, owing 

 to the great variety and good quality 

 of the stock shown. 



At the Cahuenga Valley Nursery, 

 Miss Minnie L. Brydges manages the 

 entire business and has since her fath- 

 er's death. Miss Brydges is justly 

 proud of her fine stock of budded rose 

 plants. She has made a study of the 

 best stocks for certain varieties and 

 has been most successful.

AZALEAS AFTER rLOWEEINO. 



What is the best method of caring 

 for azaleas after blooming, and how 

 many seasons will they do good serv- 

 ice? V. A. A. 



Fresno, Cal. — E. V. Maddox has 

 built a large greenhouse, 32x132, at 

 14 Portland avenue and will plant it 

 to vegetables. 



Keep the plants in a cool greenhouse 

 until danger from frost has passed. 

 Pick off all the seed pods and keep well 

 syringed. The plants can be carried 

 over summer either in pots plunged in 

 ashes or some other material, or planted 

 outdoors. They enjoy a soil contain- 

 ing some leaf-mold and sand, but this 

 is not necessary. The main essentials 

 to successful culture are taking care 

 that they do not become dry at the 

 root and hosing them overhead every 

 evening in summer. For this reason 

 they should be planted where they can 

 be reached with water. A mulch of 

 spent manure is useful in retaining 

 moisture about the roots. Dig up and 

 pot the plants early in October. Treated 

 in this way, azaleas can be carried oyer, 

 if required, for many years. C. W.
