tory. The roses and amaryllis at the 

 Montebello nurseries of this firm are 

 magnificent now and will well repay 

 a visit. Many new seedlings of both 

 are coming in line, showing great 

 promise. H. E. Bichards. 



PASADENA, CAL. 



The seventh annual spring flower 

 show was held under the auspices of 

 the Pasadena Horticultural Society, 

 formerly the Pasadena Gardeners' As- 

 sociation, April 11 to 13, in Central 

 park and was a decided success. In 

 addition to the private gardeners' ex- 

 hibits and those for competition, the 

 trade made a good showing. The only 

 retailer's display noted was that of 

 "The Orchid," which put up a nice 

 assortment of cut flowers and plants. 

 Ed. Bust made his usual fine show of 

 conifers and nursery and pot stock, 

 which was much admired. 



Howard & Smith, of Los Angeles, 

 made a fine exhibit, their superb varie- 

 ties of amaryllis being the chief attrac- 

 tion, though much other choice stock 

 was shown. 



The Germain Seed & Plant Co., Robert 

 Pegg, D. W. Coolidge and the Boss 

 Nurseries all showed some of . their 

 specialties, and John H. Teekamp made 

 a show with good tulips in pans.

The accompanying illustration shows 

 a portion of the cut flower department 

 of the Los Angeles Flower Market, 

 which was started in a comparatively 

 small way less than two years ago 

 by the late Elmo B. Meserve and Chas. 

 Morton. It has now become one of 

 the most important shipping centers for 

 plants and cut flowers on the Pacific 

 coast. Quite recently, as has been 

 noted in the Los Angeles news letter, 

 Mr. Morton, having found his space 

 much too small for the increasing busi-

Mr. Morton is seen standing on the 

 right in the picture and it is not too 

 much to say that were it not for his 

 untiring energy, his tact in dealing 

 with customers and his knowledge of 

 the business gained by long experience, 

 this story of this successful house could 

 not have been writen. He modestly 

 disclaims this and says that anyone
