The Weekly Florists' Review. 



March 7, 1912. 



growers have entered the field with 

 these and it looks as though there will 

 be a full supply, both of pot and cut 

 stock. Asparagus plumosus continues 

 short; in fact, all greens, with the pos- 

 sible exception of Mexican ivy, are 

 scarce. There is a wider range of 

 orchid flowers shown, but cattleyas and 

 phalaenopsis are the best sellers. 



Various Notes. 



W. R. Wood, of Roeding & Wood, 

 1603 East Washington street, has just 

 returned from a trip which included a 

 call at the Fancher Creek Nurseries, at 

 Fresno; their Exeter Nursery, in Tu- 

 lare county, and Arizona points. Large 

 quantities of citrus fruit trees are now 

 being shipped. 



Sir Watkin daffodils are a specialty 

 with Creutz & Co. at their new store on 

 Hill street. I noted some magnificent 

 My Maryland roses here and all the 

 stock is in fine order. 



Frank Lichtenberg has been doing 

 splendid business at the establishment 

 of Thee Florists, 328 North Fifth street, 

 now having the store in his own hands. 

 He has secured the decorations for the 

 great land show at the Fiesta park. A 

 good deal of the work will, of course, 

 have to be of artificial flowers, as the 

 show remains open from March 12 to 

 28, In the main hall, sixty-seven pil- 

 lars will be twisted with natural palm 

 leaves, 10,000 of these being used. A 

 fine pall of white roses, outlined with 

 violets, was on the stocks during my 

 last visit. 



Theo. Folerie, of Goldfield, Nev., was 

 here a couple of days recently, visiting 

 wholesalers in the interests of Felis 

 Bros., to whom he has sold his busi- 

 ness. Mr. Folerie was en route to 

 Chicago via San Francisco. 



C. Morton, of the Los Angeles Flower 

 Market, reports business rushing; in- 

 deed, one can see that at any time the 

 store is visited. A glance at the ship- 

 ping tags shows the big expanse of 

 country covered by Los Angeles ship- 

 ments. 



At the wedding of Miss Letts, at her 

 father's home at East Hollywood, Feb- 

 ruary 27, Wright's Flower Shop had 

 the decorations, which were elaborate. 

 Over 300 guests were invited. Pink 

 roses and lily of the valley were the 

 principal flowers used. A church of 

 flowers was set up in the house. The 

 bride carried a bouquet of white or- 

 chids; the bridesmaids had pink roses. 



Some of the finest long-stemmed My 

 Maryland roses ever seen in this mar- 

 ket are now being shipped by Dieterich 

 & Turner from their Montebello plant. 

 By the way Henry Turner eyes the big 

 pile of glass in boxes that is ready on 

 the ground, one can see he is itching 

 to begin greenhouse building again. 

 Walter Armacost and E. Royston, of 

 Sawtelle and Ocean Park, were recently 

 here in consultation with Mr. Turner 

 on greenhouse building operations. 



The Los Angeles County Horticultural 

 Society is to be warmly congratulated 

 in that Henry Kruckeberg consented to 

 act as its secretary. Already his busi- 

 ness methods are showing fruit. He 

 has a decisive manner of doing things 

 and a get-there style that is going to 

 bring great results if only the members 

 act loyally, in unison with him, and 

 each one gives whatever aid he is capa- 

 ble of. No better man could be found 

 in California and we have all good 

 cause to be proud of our secretary.

February business in the history of his 

 firm and he has bought two automo- 

 biles. Morris, George Watson and John 

 Gordon went to the Vernon fight arena 

 recently — but that is another story, 

 "not for publication." 



During the terrific wind storm of 

 February 23 and 24 greenhouse men in 

 this locality were fortunate. The worst 

 loss was that suffered by George Wat- 

 son, at Boyle Heights, who reported 

 about $50 worth of glass broken. Sev- 

 eral lath houses were damaged exten- 

 sively. 



Changes have been made in the fit- 

 tings at the store of the Hayward Flo- 

 ral Co., on Sixth street. Considerably 

 more room and light are now afforded 

 and some fine kentias, large specimen 

 Boston ferns and philodendrons are now 

 tastefully displayed. 



The double red hawthorns now being 

 sent in by Ed. Rust, of South Pasa- 

 dena, make a pretty display in the lead- 

 ing retail stores. The plants are shape- 

 ly and well flowered.

I. W. Hillman building, 124 West 

 Fourth street. With his long experi- 

 ence and knowledge of local conditions, 

 he should do well. 



Louis J. Stengel is shipping daily 

 from his large blocks of eucalyptus, 

 Monterey pine, phoenix and other choice 

 nursery stock, all over the west. His 

 lath houses were damaged a little by 

 the recent gale, but no damage was 

 done to the greenhouses. 



The H. N. Gage Co. is now growing 

 valley for its own customers, the sup- 

 ply from outside growers being too fit- 

 ful. The stock is certainly fine, having 

 large bells and spikes, with excellent 

 foliage. Mr. Gage says he will be in 

 full supply for Easter. 



Tony Tassano is exceedingly cheerful 

 these days over the excellent business 

 being done. Besides the fine greens for 

 which Tassano Bros, are famous, cut
