PACIFIC COAST. 



Los Angeles, Cal.— Chas. E. Morton, 

 formerly with the Redondo Floral Co., 

 has issued an announcement to his cus- 

 tomers and friends, informing them of 

 the opening of his new flower store at 

 206 West Third street. 



Los Angeles, Cal. — F. Edward Gray, 

 of the Ingleside Floral Co., reports that 

 at the opening of the new store of the 

 Mullen & Bluett Clothing Co., March 10, 

 there was the best display of flowers, 

 flowering plants and set pieces ever seen 

 at a similar occasion in Los Angeles. 

 He says it showed the great advancement 

 in the trade in that city. 



LOS ANGELES, CAL. 



The Market. 



The long-looked-for rain has not ma- 

 terialized yet. The weather has been de- 

 lightfully warm and sunny. In fact, 

 summer weather has prevailed until the 

 last few days, when we have had consid- 

 erable fog. 



Peach, plum and other fruit trees are 

 in bloom — and the orchards are beauti- 

 ful. Many of the flowers are to be 

 seen in the stores and are used profusely 

 in decorations. Hedges of cherokee roses 

 are white with bloom, and the June roses 

 of the east are blossoming freely here 

 at present. 



All the home gardens are gay with 

 stocks, callas, CaUfomia poppies, roses, 

 marguerites, freesias and other spring 

 flowers. Geraniums in full bloom we 

 always have with us. The pbppy fields 

 at Altadena are well worth the journey 

 to see. The orange trees are now coming 

 into bloom, and the air is filled with 

 fragrance. 



The florists are all making beautiful 

 window displays. In California they all 

 mass their windows with great quantities 

 of flowers of all kinds, with the object 

 of making as big a showing as possible, 

 and the quality is good, as well as the 

 quantity. The florists are not making 

 any special preparations for Easter, as 

 it is not so great a day for them as for 

 the eastern florists. 



Funeral work has been plentiful, near- 

 ly all the store men having all they 

 could do. 



Varioui Notes. 



Frank Smith, of Smith & Fetters, 

 Cleveland, O., was a recent visitor. 



The Eedondo Floral Co. is receiving 

 the finest outdoor grown carnations the 

 writer has ever seen. They are nearly 

 as large and fine as those grown under
