indication of a good advancement in 

 the near future. 



Various Notes. 



The MacEorie-McLaren Co. is receiv- 

 ing large consignments of hardy orna- 

 mental trees from the southern part of 

 the state. 



Domoto Bros., of Elmhurst, are in 

 line with about 50,000 Lilium Harrisii 

 for Easter. The stock looks first-rate 

 at this time. 



W. H. Swanigan has moved his estab- 

 lishment from Eleventh street to the 

 corner of Twelfth and Jefferson streets, 

 Oakland. 



David Mitchell, well knqwB to the 

 gardening fraternity in this , <jity, has 

 removed to Fresno, Cal. , 



Carl Purdy, of Ukiah, is sending some 

 fine stock of the native fern growths 

 to the local dealers. They have become 

 quite popular with the fiower buyers 

 during the last few seasons. 



William J. Graham, the well-known 

 landscape gardener, has removed to 571 

 East Twenty-third street, Oakland. 



The MacEorie-McLaren Co. will ex- 

 hibit phalsenopsis and other orchids 

 among their specialties at the S. A. P. 

 national show in Boston. Elmer B. 

 Guerry, late of Plymouth, Mass., is now 

 in San Francisco and will join the 

 forces of the MacEorie-McLaren Co, in 

 the landscape department, which stead- 

 ily grows in magnitude. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



Business here is good. The stores are 

 doing well and reporting trade as un- 

 usually heavy. The mildness of the 

 season, with not too much rain, enables 

 us to have plenty of flowers of fair 

 quality, outdoor grown. Daffodils are 

 beginning to arrive in quantity, and 

 are of a high grade. 



Various Notes. 



A new store, named the Dolphin 

 Flower Shop, was opened a short time 

 ago at 337 South Spring street, with 

 £. C. Cloud as manager. He has had 

 several years' experience in this city 

 and will no doubt make a success of it. 

 He says business has opened up finely. 



Mr. Bateman, formerly of the An- 

 gelus, is now with the Hayward Floral 

 Co. 



E. C. Amling, of Chicago, who is 

 spending the winter in Orange county, 

 dropped into town recently and visited, 

 among other places, the Los Angeles 

 Flower Market. 



F. E. Hills, formerly of Maywood 

 Hills, now has a place of five acres in 

 the city and, as a starter, has erected 

 several houses, growing mostly pot 

 plants. His Christmas stock was fine.

A MYRTLE IN OBEGON. 



I have received an order from a cus- 

 tomer to move a broad-leaved myrtle, 

 about eight feet high and as much 

 through. It was planted from the 

 woods when quite small and has not 

 been disturbed since. "What is the best 

 season in which to move it in this Ore- 

 gon climate? What sort of a root sys- 

 tem does a myrtle have — fibrous or 

 otherwise? Would it be advisable to 

 root-prune it this spring and move it 

 in early fall? Is it necessary to strip

the leaves, as is done in moving large 

 hollies! D. M. 



As this query comes from Oregon, 

 the answer would not correspond to the 

 conditions that would naturally be con- 

 fronted in many other sections of the 

 country. As the myrtle in this state 

 practically has no resting season, there 

 would be no benefit in waiting until the 

 fall before handling. If the soil in 

 which it is growing is of such a con- 

 sistency that a good ball of earth 

 can be made to encase the roots and 

 hold to them sufficiently to prevent 

 their becoming too much exposed, there 

 is no necessity for root-pruning. If, 

 however, the soil will fall away in the 

 process of boxing, the top and roots 

 should both be closely cropped and the 

 plant allowed to stand several months 

 before a final effort is made to shift it. 

 The myrtle makes quantities of small 

 roots and is an easy shrub to trans- 

 plant at any season. Unless some acci- 

 dent befalls the plant in transit, there 

 is no necessity of stripping the leaves, 

 and if care is used in the boxing and 

 replanting no harm should befall it. 

 For a myrtle eight feet high the ball 

 of earth should be about two feet 

 square, and if the sides of the box are 

 not made of too heavy material it can 

 be planted along with the tree and it 

 is doubtful if it will show any signs of 

 having been disturbed. G.
