-not be heated by means of the piping 

 described, if it is well arranged and is 

 well above the boilers. For the house 

 30x100 feet, to be used for growing let- 

 tuce, etc., it will be a good plan to 

 put in three 2i^-inch overhead flows 

 and twelve 2-inch returns. Place one 

 flow on each plate and connect each 

 with four 2-inch returns. The other 

 flow should be about two feet below the 

 ridge and the returns should be dis- 

 tributed under the benches, or in the 

 aisles if solid beds are used. 



For complete information upon the 

 growing of cucumber and tomatoes, you

 Management," for sale by The Eeview

LOS ANGELES NOTES. 



[Concluded from page G5.] 



phiniums in full bloom, at the firm's 

 nursery at Montebello, is a sight worth 

 going a long way to see, and fully jus- 

 tifies their claim that their strain is 

 ' ' everblooming. ' ' 



A. Blomquist, of the Baird Park Nur- 

 sery, is now alone in the business, his 

 son, owing to an attack of asthma, hav- 

 ing to leave. Stock looks well here, 

 but business has been a little slow since 

 the New Year. 



Jack D'Ortignac has opened a flower 

 stand in the Alexandrian hotel lobby, 

 where he has made a creditable start. 

 He has again shown his good judgment 

 in placing Mrs. Dolphin in charge; or 

 perhaps it would be more correct to say 

 he was fortunate in securiilg this lady's 

 aid in his new enterprise. 



Tucked away on one of the hills on 

 the way to South Pasadena, the Yoko- 

 hama Nurseries grow quite a lot of 

 good stock and K. Hiraiyumi is a busy 

 man. Good palms, citrus and rose 

 stock are his specialties and all are 

 well grown, creditabl e sto ck. 



The H. N. Gaag-^XoTT^aflfodils are 

 now in full cut £ind are arriving in ex- 

 cellent shape from the Holljrwood place. 

 Everything in ^ock is plentiful, Mr. 

 good demand cleans 

 ;nce the smile, 

 cept busy at the Los 

 Angeles Flower Market to move the in- 

 creasingly large amount of stock now 

 arriving from the firm's growers. C. 

 Morton reports business keeping up re- 

 markably well, with indications of a 

 most successful spring business. 



Morris Goldenson is handling a high 

 grade of orchids now and reports busi- 

 ness excellent. 



A. F. Borden says his January busi- 

 ness made that of last year look like 

 the proverbial 30 cents. 



Big business at receptions and parties 

 is the report from the Angelus Flower 

 Shop. Some beautiful brass-work vases 

 here help materially to show off the 

 fine flowers and plants handled. 



Business at the Freeman-Lewis store 

 is reported as picking up well. 



Wright's Flower Shop has been ex- 

 ceptionally busy with funeral work and 

 receptions and the trade at the store 

 has been fine. 



Funeral work still keeps the help at 

 the establishment of the Kedondo 

 Floral Co. on the jump. Albert Knopf 

 says he has about 30,000 bulbs of 

 Freesia Purity planted and looking fine. 



Among the visitors this week was 

 Fred Sperry, formerly of Vaughan & 

 Sperry, Chicago. He may locate here 

 permanently. It is to be hoped he will, 

 as there is room here for men of his 

 type. J. J. Karins, of the Henry A. 



Gage says, but
