LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



\aleJitine's day and a large amount 

 yf funeral work made February 13 and 

 14 two of the busiest days ever known 

 in the history of the flower trade here. 

 One wholesaler said the former day was 

 busier than the day before Christmas. 

 Stock of all kinds has been coming in 

 large quantities, but the fine demand 

 keeps it cleaned up well. Indoor roses 

 ;ire among the scarcer items and carna- 

 tions had to be substituted for short 

 rosos. There are some fine flowers still 

 coming from the north and a large num- 

 ber of fine Easter lilies are also shipped 

 in bud, to open up in the stores. Vio- 

 lets are still overplentiful and signs 

 on the street stands read, "5 cents per 

 bunch." Freesias are abundant and 

 of good quality; so, also, are Dutch 

 hyacinths from the open air, and daffo- 

 dils, the latter being now at the height 

 of their season. 



As a filler for good funeral pieces the 

 new marguerite, Mrs. F. Sander, is be- 

 coming more and more popular and 

 tlicre appears to be a great future for 

 this as a cut flower in this section. 

 Among greens, good adiantum still 

 seems difficult to get, but the other 

 kinds are plentiful. All other items 

 ;ire about equal to the demand. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Bailey, of Montebello, has 

 been cutting a fine grade of freesias 

 from under a cloth shading. The flow- 

 (>rs are a purer white and have much 

 longer stems than from plants grown 

 entirely in the open. 



Although nearly four miles from the 

 end of the nearest car line, none of the 

 visitors to Los Angeles leave without 

 taking a run out to the Dieterich & 

 Turner plant, at Montebello, and the 

 genial Henry Turner is always there 

 with the glad hand for all. His rose, 

 ^^ontebello, is magnificent — a large, 

 clear pink, with grand stem and neck, 

 the base of the petals showing a yellow 

 -^hading that is quite telling. Stock of 

 this variety is still somewhat scarce, 

 l>ut large blocks of all other varieties 

 are coming along in fine shape to meet 

 the spring demand. Advance orders 

 are heavy already, 10,000 of one nov- 

 ilty being the order of a single local 

 nurseryman. 



Sidney Hockridge, of the City Nurs- 

 iries, Bedlands, has been taking a 

 '^wing around the country to note the 

 'iamage done by the recent frost — very 

 little around "lovely Los Angeles." 

 Mr. Hockridge will be remembered as 

 the disseminator of the Pink Cherokee 

 rose. 



Staiger & Mundwiler are filling every 

 spare corner of their houses with to- 

 mato and other vegetable plants for 

 retailing. The young stock of palms, 

 ferns and other plants looks well. 



Mexican ivy is a big specialty with 

 Tassano Bros, at both their places and 

 the stock now arriving is excellent. 



Valentine's day and the Van Nuys 

 funeral made every retailer in town 

 busy February 14. It is useless to men- 

 tion the names of all. 



Creutz & Co. are well satisfied with 

 their new location and are now in posi- 

 tion to handle the large cuts of spring 

 flowers that are consigned to them. 

 "Business is fine," says G. M. Creutz. 



H. N. Gage says his only trouble is 

 that he is not getting sleep enough and
