The Weekly Florists^ Review*

PACIFIC COAST. 



This Department now overflows its 

 two pages, onto a third page. And it 

 has only begun to grow. Would some- 

 one at Los Angeles like to help push 

 it along by supplying a boiled down 

 weekly letter regarding trade events 

 there? There are openings for corre- 

 spondents in several other Coast cities.

 and roses arc steadily improving in 

 quality, -vvitli a sliglit increase in the 

 prices. ]\lunis are also in great variety, 

 with a steady demand. Valley is quite 

 scarce. J'otted chrysanthemums and 

 cyclamen are tlie only l)l(i(iMiing plants 

 availalde.

SUBSTITUTE FOR LATH HOUSE. 



Tlie lu>\ lew of September iiS con- 

 taincil the foliowlM;; inquiry from A. 

 v., a resident of a i'acilic coast state: 

 "In some jiarts of our town tlie build- 

 ing of wooden striK-tui'es is not ])er- 

 mitted, on account of the danger of tire. 

 This keej'S mi' from jiulting up a lath 

 house that I need for m\ )ilants. Do 

 you know of a stiuctuie. made of ma- 

 terial that is nut coirdmst ible ami at tln^ 

 same time not too ex|pensi\(', that would 

 answer the jiurpose of an ciidinary lath 

 house.' A icply from Miiy reader would 

 greatly oMigc. " 



In reply to this inquirx', I wisli to 

 oflFor the followiiiL.' sugi/est ion : 1 know 

 of no noil combusfilde material that 

 would really take the place of the lath. 

 but it Seems to me a faiily yooil liousc 

 for the ]iur](Ose cowld be built by using 

 pipes for tile fiamework. setting the 

 pipes about ten feet ajiait. in concrete. 

 Any ol.j I'.j-iiedl jope Avoiihl do for 

 supjxuts. while 1 imdi would lie suf- 

 ficiently ^ti'ont^ fill' the cross jdeces on 

 top. 'I'hen the \\ hole frame could be 

 covered with wire iiettin;;. say 1'-- 

 inch or l' incli mesh. I'.y jdantiiig fast- 

 growing \iiie> all around the sides and 

 ends, sulliciriit ■^hade should be obtained 

 the first summer. Iluniulus I,u[pu1us. tlie 

 common liop \ine. for instance, is a fast 

 grower ami widl aclapted for use any- 

 where on the I'acilic coast, it would 

 drop its foliage in autumn just at the 

 time when }iea\ \- sliacle wouM no longer 

 be nccdeil. l-;\eigreen \ines are slow 

 growers, as a rule, and might jirove 

 detrimental during the winter months.

 of plant he wishes Ui handle in such u
