 fruit boughs, maidenhair ferns and 

 whi^^e roses. The bride carried white 

 orctiids, and the matron of honor and 

 maids carried big showers of valley. 



The H. N. Gage Co. reports fine busi- 

 ness for the fashion show, especially in 

 greens. L. Gage, brother of H. N. Gage, 

 now has charge of the Montebello 

 ranch. 



At the time of writing CharlesE. Mor- 

 ton, of the*Lo8 Angeles Flower Mar- 

 ket, who has been seriously ill at his 

 home, -was reported much better. His 

 partner, Fred Sperry, has now had to 

 give up. buiunoiis for a day or two, so 

 the work 'falls on the able assistants. 

 All hope;^lipi^ inath Mr. Morton and Mr. 

 Sperry wiir soon be around again. 



Two at least pf the "^eadbeat" fra- 

 ternity are working here under assumed 

 names, and shippers of stock or others 

 approached by these gentlemen should 

 be careful. There are several good 

 houses here,- the proprietors of which 

 are well known and upright business 

 men, and I would advise anyone inter- 

 ested to get a line on strange firms pur- 

 porting to do business here before 

 opening any accounts. The number of 

 these are likely to increase as 1915 

 draws- Tieac 



The Superior Nursery Co. is sending 

 out fine vegetable and flower plants 

 now, and the young stock of florists' 

 plants is extremely promising. 



The March meeting of the Los An- 

 geles County Horticultural Society was 

 not particularly well attended. The 

 Chamber of Commerce recently turned 

 down Fred Howard's scheme for beau- 

 tifying certain parts of the mountain 

 park herg, .and interest in this proposi- 

 tion has sagged a little, but there still 

 remains the hope that a sufficient num- 

 ber of influential and public spirited 

 citizens will remain back of the project 

 and bring it to a successful issue. 



Seedsmen and nurserymen are ex- 

 tremely busy now catching up with 

 oj^^rs delayed by the washouts and 

 taking care of the stream of orders 

 coming in daily. The three big trucks 

 of the Germain Seed & Plant Co. have 

 to be daily augmented by others. How- 

 ard & Smith report a similar condition 

 of thiBfa, and the smaller firms all have 

 their hands full. Everything points 

 to a jrecord-breaking season along these 

 linVi^ H. K. Richards.

The Market. 



Since the beginning of Lent business 

 has been rather quiet. Stock is not 

 overplentiful. While spring flowers pre- 

 dominate, there is a daily clean-up of 

 stock in all lines. Tulips have been 

 particularly choice this season and have 

 found ready sales. Dutch hyacinths 

 proved the poorest sellers on the mar- 

 ket. Carnations are gradually improv-
