LOS ANGELES. 



The writer recently visited the large 

 Asparagus plumosus houses of E. K. 

 Meserve, located at Long Beach, Cal., 

 in order to look over the houses, inspect 

 the seed crop and investigate the sys- 

 tem adopted for the growing of As- 

 paragus plumosus for seed. The entire 

 output of these houses is now being 

 handled by the Los Angeles Flower 

 Market. The crop is coiiservatively 

 estimated at six millions of select, care- 

 fully graded seeds. The average length 

 of strings is twelve to fourteen feet, 

 with an average of 200 strings to each 

 row. These rows are three feet apart 

 and there are forty rows in the large 

 house. There is also a smaller section 

 of eighteen rows, sixty feet in length; 

 in this house there are at least 6,000 

 strings, hanging full of berries from 

 the ground to the top. The corre- 

 spondent, with Hubert Morton, for- 

 merly of Chicago, counted many of the 

 sprays and found an average of forty 

 berries to each spray and from sixty 

 to 100 sprays to each string, each berry 

 containing from two to three seeds. 



This great crop of seed will ripen 

 about one-third in January and two- 

 thirds during March. ' As there were 

 two distinct times of blooming, first in 

 September and next in November, we 

 found many ripe berries and all the 

 early crop is thoroughly matured, only 

 needing a short time longer for color- 

 ing. The location, within two miles of 

 the ocean and on the west slope of the 

 hill, assures the ideal condition for per- 

 fect pollenization of the flowers and 

 the maturing of seeds. It is stated 

 that one month's advertising in The 

 Review has brought in orders for over 

 one million seeds, orders coming from 

 Canada, the United States and Den- 

 mark. M.
