js still of poor quality. Violets are 

 again at the normal supply and are of 

 better quality than of late. Orchids 

 are plentiful and meet with a brisk de- 

 mand. All kinds of prepared foliage 

 have been called for and the golden 

 brown oak leaves are extremely fine. 



Pot plants are more plentiful than 

 they were. Good cyclamens, azaleas 

 and Easter lilies sell well. Ferns in 

 variety and palms are in better de- 

 mand than for some time, and it is dif- 

 ficult to obtain some of the larger 

 sizes of the latter. All the retail stores 

 report a good business, not only in 

 funeral work but in decorations. 



Various Notes. 



J. J, Karins, of Henry A. Dreer, 

 Inc., Philadelphia, has been calling on 

 the trade in the city and vicinity. 



At the Star Nursery, at Montebello, 

 I noticed some newly imported daphne 

 plants that ought to be good property. 

 This sweet-scented and beautiful old 

 shrub is surely worth more considera- 

 tion than it gets. Mr. Uyematsu is a 

 careful cultivator and is getting a nice 

 stock together in the large new lath 

 house. He has also an elegant lot of 

 pansies and stocks; the latter sell well, 

 in view of the scarcity of other flowers. 



As fast as the stock of the Red 

 Cherokee goes out from the frames and 

 indoor benches at Dieterich & Tur- 

 ner's, they are filled with young stock 

 of popular indoor kinds for spring 

 shipping. Heavy cuts are being taken 

 from Killarney, Prima Donna and 

 Maryland. The Beauties are also do- 

 ing well, but Mr. Turner is seriously 

 considering cutting out Beauty. 



A large hotbed and frame ground 

 has been fenced around and quarters 

 are being prepared for the help at the 

 new trial grounds of the Germain 

 Plant & Seed Co., on the Whittier road. 



Mr. Cushman, of gladiolus fame, 

 made good progress while in this local- 

 ity, having purchased a large orange 

 ranch at Riverside and considerable 

 real estate at Point Loma, near San 

 Diego. He returned east January 28, 

 leaving his son Ralph, who will stay 

 until September, at least. Mr. Cush- 

 man will probably locate here perma- 

 nently as soon as his eastern interests 

 can be satisfactorily disposed of. 



I was glad to see the note from the 

 Hollywood Nurseries in The Review of 

 •January 23, especially as we so seldom 

 hear from Mr. Soethout. As to giving 

 the "exact facts of the late freeze," 

 that is so manifestly impossible that I 

 wonder our friend Mr. Soethout even 

 tried it. By "the press" I suppose he 

 means the daily newspapers, but these 

 ran the whole gamut from total loss to 

 110 damage at all, and are not to be 

 "lepended upon. The full extent of the 

 damage will never be known, but if it 

 makes nurserymen more careful of 

 what they grow and recommend their
