gathered, more would have been sold, 

 but all the available help was put at it 

 and he had to let it go at that. ' ' That ' ' 

 meant something over half a million 

 flowers from one ranch. 



Outdoor roses have passed their best, 

 but, under the influence of dull weath- 

 er, they have lasted remarkably well. 

 Always beautiful, the flowers of Kom- 

 neya Coulteri are exceptionally so this 

 cool season and it surely is the queen 

 of native plants. Gladioli are plentiful 

 now, with more variety than usual. 

 America still leads as the most gen- 

 erally useful. Iris Kaempferi is com- 

 ing in and makes a nice show in the 

 windows. Agapanthus umbellatus is 

 also showy and the pretty pale blue 

 attracts attention. Of the smaller 

 flowers there is no end, and, while they 

 help out in funeral work of the cheaper 

 grades, they are handled in so rough 

 a manner and bring such low prices 

 that there can be but little profit in 

 them for the grower. Perhaps the best 

 of all are the various kinds of gyp- 

 sophila. these being useful in so many 

 different ways. 



Indoor roses are still of good quality 

 and deserve a better demand. Amer- 

 ican Beauty, Killarney and White Kil- 

 larney are most in demand; the reds 

 are not much wanted. A scarcity of 

 valley developed just before Decora- 

 tion day, leading to some inconve- 

 nience, but this will probably be 

 righted by the time these notes appear. 

 Orchids run along about even with the 

 demand; Cattleya Mossise and G. gigas 

 are mostly shown. The green market 

 is about the same, with the exception 

 of long strings of Asparagus plumosus.
