The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Februaby 1, 1912, 



flerved and a social evening was spent. 

 Everyone enjoyed the day to the limit, 

 and we can heartily and sincerely say 

 to the Seattle boys, "Come again and 

 ■come oftener. " 



Various Notes. 



Ben Betton, of the Fern Hill Green- 

 houses, is erecting two new houses. 

 His place has been entirely remodeled 

 during the last year. 



Louis Tschunko has an exceptionally 

 fine lot of calla lilies. 



Van Slyke & Seamons are erecting 

 a propagating house. J. L. S. 



LOS ANGELES, CAL. 



The Market. 



During the last week a rather unu- 

 sual condition developed, for good stock 

 was more difficult to dispose of than 

 shorter, less valuable grades. This may 

 be accounted for by the large amount 

 of funeral work called for and the 

 scarcity of good decorative orders. The 

 stock itself is of good quality gener- 

 ally. Some of the worst carnations 

 ever seen in this market have been sent 

 in, but these by no means constitute 

 the bulk of the stock. There have 

 been quite enough really good flowers 

 to go around and the best of them 

 might be classed as pretty nearly first- 

 rate. Enchantress and White Enchant- 

 ress have been the best. 



The dry weather has suited the out- 

 door flowers exactly and the stock from 

 irrigated land is fine. Sweet peas, 

 fltocks, sweet sultan and irises in va- 

 riety are the best of the spring flowers 

 outside of bulbous stock, in which the 

 Dutch hyacinths and various narcissi 

 have the lead. Violets are plentiful 

 everywhere and of fair quality. Or- 

 chids have been more plentiful than 

 ever before in the history of Los An- 

 geles and at times something quite like 

 a glut developed. The northern flow- 

 ers are coming of better quality than 

 formerly and there have also been a 

 g'-od many local-grown cattleyas. Boses 

 are running about equal to the demand, 

 the chief call being for short to 

 medium lengths. Some local-grown Kil- 

 larneys show signs of mildew and are 

 not as good in color as they were a 

 week or two ago. Asparagus and smilax 

 strings are plentiful, but bunch goods 

 have at times been scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Two new rose houses, each 27 x 300 

 feet, are to be added to the Wright's 

 Flower Shop plant this season. "Then 

 I'm going to quit," says Tom Wright. 

 That's what they all say. 



Geo. C. Watson is a stickler for the 

 carnations raised by Peter Fisher and 

 'Claims they are best for southern Cali- 

 fornia. Pink and White Enchantress 

 and Victory are his standbys. Mr. Wat- 

 son's stock is in grand shape now and 

 there are certainly no better carna- 

 tions coming to this market. There are 

 65,000 plants of these varieties. 



While not a large place as places go, 

 "the Superior Nursery, run by 0. F. 

 Gutting, is one of those tidy, well kept 

 places that it is a pleasure to visit, 

 and he turns out a lot of stock. The 

 houses in which the stock of Boston 

 ferns and flowering plants was depleted 

 •at Christmas are again full of young, 

 healthy stock, including vegetable 

 plants, and everything shows that the 

 %e8t of care is given.

Anyone who wishes to become ac- 

 quainted with rare tropical fruits and 

 other plants should pay H. Hehre a 

 visit, out at 5623 Central avenue. If 

 his plans materialize for the botanical 

 garden he has in view out at Palm and 

 Michigan avenues, this will surely be 

 an interesting place to visit in the 

 near future. 



Adolph Scheffler has a grand lot of 

 pansies this season. 



While doubtless some of the palms 

 were crowded in Eastlake park, one 

 hardly expected the wholesale slaughter 

 of fine washingtonias that has taken 

 place, and to remove trees and shrub- 

 bery on the south side of the park, to 

 open up a vista comprising paper mills 

 and other factories, can hardly be 

 called an improvement. It is said that 

 a number of the large palms not yet 

 cut down and burned are to be donated 

 to a local nurseryman, to be used by 

 him in his landscape work. If there is 

 no place for them in the parks, this is 

 a much better plan than destroying
