los was compelled by his uncle, N. Synia- 

 copulos, to sign notes for $2,000 at the 

 point of a pistol, according to the court 's 

 findings. The uncle brought suit on the 

 notes and the nephew set up the defense 

 that he had received nothing for the 

 notes and had been compelled to sign 

 them vyhile his uncle held a revolver at 

 his head. The younger man is a florist 

 on Broadway and purchased the shop 

 from his uncle when the latter concluded 

 that music was his forte and went to 

 Europe to study. His funds running 

 short, he returned to America, so the 

 nephew alleged, and attempted to get 

 him to furnish him with funds. Being 

 refused, he adopted the revolver and 

 note method. Judge Ellsworth gave 

 judgment to the defendant. 



That the retail florists have plenty of 

 confidence in San Francisco and her abil- 

 ity to regain her era of prosperity is 

 shown by the fact that Podesta & Bal- 

 docchi have leased for a total of $90,000, 

 for ten years, the store on the ground 

 floor of the Phoenix building, adjoining 

 the White House. This is considered one 

 of the choicest locations in the city and 

 will give this well-known firm a promi- 

 nent place among the solid firms in the 

 swell shopping district.

 eryman, died April 15. Further particu-

PASADENA FLOWER SHOW. 



As my place is between Los Angeles 

 and Pasadena, I visited the flower show 

 held by the Pasadena Gardeners' Asso- 

 ciation and must admit that Pasadena's 

 flower shows are more attractive than the 

 Los Angeles shows. I noticed some 

 plants which I had not seen since leaving 

 Linden 's place in Ghent, in 1802. There 

 were three Encephalartos Lehmanni, with 

 stems three feet in circumference and 

 leaves six feet long, the whole plant 

 glaucous. There was also an old plant of 

 Encephalartos villosus. They were shown 

 under the wrong name of E. pungens 

 and E. regalis. There was also a hand- 

 some specimen of E. horridus, blue-green 

 in color, a rare and formidable looking 

 plant. They were shown by Mr. Heter- 

 ich, gardener for H. E. Huntington, the 

 railroad magnate, whose naturally beau- 

 tiful place of several thousand acres he 

 is now planting with the rarest tropical 

 plants. 



Mr. Heterich not only transplanted 

 some thirty Cocos plumosa, C. flexuosa 

 and C. coronata, from twenty-five to forty 

 feet tall and weighing from five to eight 

 tons apiece, from the Ramona Nursery 

 to Mr, Huntington's place, without los- 

 ing a single leaf, but he also transplanted 

 numerous clumps of giant bamboo and
