Mr. Garland's coast representative, 

 gave a short but interesting speech. 

 After some discussion, adjournment 

 was had at a little after 10 p. m. 



Various Notes. 



The Freeman-Lewis Co. had an ele- 

 gant dinner decoration recently, yel- 

 low daffodils and yellow satin ribbon 

 being used, with a large silver epergne 

 as a centerpiece. 



W. Armacost & Co., of Ocean Park, 

 are sending in splendid Killarney roses 

 and also an elegant cut of Chatenay. 

 Mr. Armacost has a fine lot of Easter 

 lilies coming on, and many of them 

 will doubtless be in on time, if not 

 all of them. 



Charles Navlet, of San Jose, was a 

 visitor last week. 



An orchid window was one of the 

 most recent displays made by the Hay- 

 ward Floral Co., and was both showy 

 and choice. Among the varieties used, 

 besides a large number of exquisite 

 cattleyas, were fine spikes of Lselia 

 superbiens — an old species that I had 

 not seen for a long time — L. anceps, 

 various dendrobiums, the beautiful 

 Calanthe Veitchii and others. There is 

 far more interest in a varied collec- 

 tion like this than in a group of cat- 

 tleyas only, and I am glad to see our 

 trade orchid growers taking up the 

 culture of more varieties and species. 

 Over 200 orchids and 500 Asparagus 

 plumosus strings were supplied for the 

 Pasadena charity ball by the H. N. 

 Gage Co. 



P. J. Thorsted, of the Thorsted 

 Floral Co., Oakland, was a recent 

 visitor, looking -up old friends, making 

 new ones and incidentally selling some 

 mighty fine carnations. 



Albert Goldenson was laid up for 



over a week with grip and a lame foot. 



The latter is still giving him trouble. 



C. T. Kipp, of the Spokane Florist 



Co., was a recent visitor. 



Calling recently on James Taylor, 

 gardener at the Homer Laughlin place 

 at Hollywood, I found him and his 

 staff busy removing the effects of fhe 

 frost as far as possible. I did not see 

 Mr. Sturtevant, whose place is nearly 

 opposite, but I could see that he had 

 lost many of the rare and beautiful 

 plants he grows so well and knows so 

 thoroughly. It looks as though there 

 really was frost at Hollywood, as well 

 as everywhere else. 



H. Reeve Darling is speaking of an 

 eastern trip as soon as he can get away. 

 All the seed stores are doing a rush- 

 ing business over the counter and they 

 began to keep open until 9 o'clock on 

 Saturday nights just after New Year's. 

 The board of supervisors has pub- 

 lished for free distribution a bulletin 

 entitled "The Horticulturists' Hand 

 Book," compiled by B. R. Jones. I 

 have not had time to go into it thor- 

 oughly, but it appears to be an ex-

Some comment has been made on the 

 fact that almost all the eastern adver- 

 tisers of Valentine's day novelties 

 made their announcements too late to 

 be of any service to the buyers at this 

 long distance. Five day& each way is 

 the least that can be allowed for mails, 

 which are often held up at this time of 

 year by bad weather, and this makes 

 Valentine's day specialties too late 

 when advertised in an issue that
