The Florists^ Review 



JCLT 4, 1912. 



The visitors were delighted with the 

 beautiful Huntington place, illustra- 

 tions and a description of which ap- 

 peared in The Eeview recently. ]M&. 

 Huntington happened to be there and 

 welcomed the party, inviting them to 

 partake of their lunches and make 

 themselves at home in the beautiful new 

 Japanese garden, a privilege appreci- 

 ated by all. The party was joined 

 here by Mrs. and Miss Burpee and other 

 ladies, and after lunch a splendid ride 

 was enjoyed over the hills to Monte- 

 bello. Creature comforts had also been 



Erovided here by Henry Turner, of 

 'ieterich & Turner, and Fred Howard, 

 of Howard & Smith, and all thoroughly 

 enjoyed looking over the stock at these 

 two fine places. Two more affable or 

 genial men than Mr. Burpee and Mr. 

 Dickson I have never met, and I am 

 sure both took away pleasant memories 

 of their visit to the Angel City. 



The Los Angeles Flower Market is 

 handling large lots of carnations, 

 white sorts and Corbett's being lead- 

 ers. Quite a business is done here in 

 shipping floral designs and sprays to 

 out-of-town florists. Curiosity led me to 

 look at the labels on some pieces that 

 were going out on an express wagon, 

 and I found the name of a florist in an 

 Arizona town. Small retailers in out- 

 lying places find it pays better to buy 

 pieces made up than to keep a stock of 

 all the requisites for doing this kind 

 of work. 



W. W. Eandall, of the A. L. Randall 

 Co., Chicago, has been in town during 

 the last week, with a rapidly filling or- 

 der book. He is pushing supplies and 

 other goods handled by his firm, and 

 expects to be back in Chicago about 

 July 15. 



Although only in business since De- 

 cember, Miss Eohr, of 337 West Wash- 

 ington street, is working up an elegant 

 trade and her work is of the best. Miss 

 Eohr was for years in the retail store 

 of the Ingleside Floral Co., leaving 

 there to go into business for herself 

 at the address mentioned. 



The Eoserie has bought the green- 

 houses and stock at the Eosedale Nur- 

 series, on West Washington street. H. 

 Miller, brother of C. J., is going to live 

 on the place, on which they have a five- 

 year lease. 



Good sweet peas and centaureas are 

 leading features at the establishment 

 of the H. N. Gage Co. Business is still 

 rushing here. 



Speakman & Dille have all their 

 young stock planted and looking well. 

 They are drying out the old stock, so 

 their cut is not so large as formerly. 



v. Matraia, manager of the Art Flo- 

 ral Co., at San Francisco, has been in 

 town for a few days, after attending 

 the farmers' convention at Santa Bar- 

 bara. 



J. E. Miller, of Peoria, 111., has ar- 

 rived in lovely Los Angeles and will 

 probably not leave again. He may go 

 in for growing here. 



S. Murata is handling a fine line of 

 new crop carnations and expects asters 

 in quantity soon, probably by the time 

 these notes appear. 



Morris Goldenson has had a big run 

 of wedding and church decorations, a 

 recent one of asparagus, Shasta daisies 

 and white gladioli being particularly 

 choice. 



Burglars entered George Watson's 

 home June 24, and stole a couple of 

 watches and all the cash they could lay 

 hands on. Then, in what was evidently
