Edward Wesley Washburn was a 

 Washington 's birthday arrival at the 

 home of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Washburn, 

 Pasadena, Cal. Grandpa C. L. Wash- 

 burn is much elated. There now^ are 

 two great-grandsons to oarry on the 

 business founded by 0. P. Bassett. 



That the call for American Beauties 

 has fallen off materially in the last 

 three years is the opinion of A. L. 

 Vaughan. He says he believes the flower 

 is as popular as ever with the public, 

 but that neither retailers nor growers 

 find in it the good profits of ten years 

 ago. 



As showing what the bli/zard of Feb- 

 ruary 22 did to the market, the F. J. 

 Benthey roses, which ordinarily reach 

 Zech & Mann at 8 a. m., were received 

 just before 6 p. m., February 23, ten 

 hours late in coming a little over 200 

 miles. 



Will the Easter lilies be off grade, the 

 same as other bulbous stock, this win- 

 ter? Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, 

 says several growers have told him the 

 lilies have come blind during the dark 

 weather.

The Cecile Bruriner rose is so well 

 liked by Bassett & Washburn that 6,000 

 to 8,000 will be planted next season, in 

 two separate lots, experience with the 

 1,200 plants bonched this season having 

 shown that it is a cropper. There will 

 be three weeks of good cutting, then 

 three or four weeks of almost nothing. 

 Next season it is planned to grow sep- 

 arate lots and get them to alternate.
