cember through," is the way Mr. Mor- 

 ton estimated it on the last day of the 

 old year. Carte blanche orders for the 

 Pasadena fete were given here and 

 taken good care of. 



S. Murata does not say much, but 

 "sits tight." Big orders and plenty 

 of them, both for the city and distant 

 parts, are the rule. 



Dieterich & Turner report a record- 

 breaking Christmas in all lines, but 

 especially in plants. An immense quan- 

 tity of heather was cut and sold from 

 the big lath house, making quite a fea- 

 ture in town. Calling at the green- 

 houses recently, I noticed large blocks 

 of newly potted roses, and many thou- 

 sands more in the sand. Mr, Turner 

 says that advance orders seem to indi- 

 cate an even greater demand than that 

 of last year for young rose stock. 

 Coast growers are beginning to see that 

 it does not pay to hand over large 

 amounts to the express companies on 

 eastern shipments when they can do as 

 well at home. 



Hubert Morton is delighted with his 

 first Christmas business at the new 

 Long Beach store. He managed to con- 

 tract a severe cold, but otherwise every- 

 thing is rose-colored. 



Local papers tried to get up the 

 usual scare about a "combine" by 

 growers to hold up Pasadena people 

 on flower prices. These annual out- 

 pourings of the cub reporters hurt no 

 one and give the dear. old ladies some- 

 thing to talk about. Supply and de- 

 mand rule prices on perishable stock, 

 and always will, and the feast of 'flow- 

 ers at Pasadena is only one of the many 

 outlets for Los Angeles flowers. A 

 welcome one no doubt, but only one, 

 and not the biggest or best at that. 



"By far the best yet," was Reeve 

 Darling's comment on the holiday busi- 

 ness. The Hay ward Floral Co. is a 

 "live wire that connects," not simply 

 sparks, as mentioned on page 19 of The 

 Review of December 26. 



The H. N. Gage Co. had all it could 

 handle for Christmas and New Year's. 

 While a few of the leading lines were 

 sold out early, the firm kept faith with 

 all its customers. 



The Los Angeles Evergreen and Cut 

 Flower Supply Market did an immense 

 business right through both holidays. 



Frank Lichtenberg reports the best 

 holiday business he has ever had. Mag- 

 nificent stock, well handled, and prices 

 that, while showing good profits, are 

 not extortionate, are factors in his suc- 

 cess. 



J. J. Grullemans, Jr., of J. J. Grulle- 

 mans & Sons, Lisse, Holland, has been 

 calling on the trade here.
