firm spent a pleasant and instructive 

 morning looking over the novelties and 

 stock at the nurseries, both inside and 

 outside, and, being nearly all practical 

 growers, were greatly interested in the 

 many fine things shown. As may be ex- 

 pected, the amaryllises, inside and out, 

 formed the center of attraction and the 

 gorgeous coloring, immense size and 

 general excellence of the collection 

 were freely commented on. 



At midday a sumptuous lunch was 

 served in the large packing shed and, 

 needless to say, everyone enjoyed the 

 feast to the limit. Fred Howard has 

 the happy faculty of making each guest 

 feel almost as if the entertainment 

 were prepared specially for him, and 

 was unremitting in his care that all 

 had a good time, which they undoubt- 

 edly did. 



After lunch there was a little speech- 

 making and a lot of merriment, and, 

 as the whole crowd was together, a pho- 

 tograph was taken, after which as many 

 as possible piled onto the large Pack- 

 ard truck and were driven over to the 

 Dieterich & Turner plant, about half 

 a mile away. After a brief look 

 through the rose and plant houses here, 

 all left for the depot or car line, hav- 

 ing spent a most delightful day at 

 "Mountain Beautiful." 



Various Notes. 



C. Winsel is busy planting nursery 

 stock at his new place at Montebello, 

 and it looks as though there will soon 

 be another big establishment to visit 

 when the picnickers come to the 

 "Heisse Luft" tract. We also noted 

 Henry Kuntz busy on a recent fine day. 

 He says that pruning walnuts is dry 

 work unless one is well prepared. 



J. W. Wolters opened his new store 

 on Hill street April 1, and without a 

 doubt he has scored an artistic suc- 

 cess. The wall and ceiling decorations 

 are of old-gold, a soft, subdued tint 

 that has no suspicion of garishness. The 

 Italian pottery work is extremely fine 

 and the magnificent stock shown on 

 the opening days gave a delightful fin- 

 ish to the whole store. Large kentias 

 and other plants were well grouped 

 around and the windows were finely 

 treated, one with rustic stonework and 

 ferns, the other with fine stock of 

 Easter lilies and tulips, I had only the 

 merest look in, owing to lack of time, 

 and hope to refer to this further.

MentioD The Review when you write. 



The Los Angeles Flower Market has 

 secured a lease on the entire basement, 

 50x200 feet, which will give much bet- 

 ter facilities for handling its business. 

 At the rear end there are good electric 

 elevators, and stock of all kinds will be 

 taken in this way. Included in the 

 Easter orders, up to April 3, were 2,600 

 pot lilies and they were still pouring 

 in. Unlike many wholesale houses, this 

 firm buys all of its stock outright from 

 the growers, practically nothing being 

 sold on commission. At present nearly 

 a score of the largest growers in the 

 vicinity are under contract to send in 

 the whole of their stock.
