mand for horseshoes, baskets and 

 bouquets July 10, and, as there was 

 ample stock in the market, retailers 

 were able to make a good profit. There 

 has been a brisk demand most days for 

 all classes of indoor stock, and the re- 

 sults total up to an excellent average 

 for this season of the year. 



In roses. Beauties, My Maryland^ 

 Prima Donna, Kaiserin, Etoile de 

 France and Carnot have been the best 

 offerings. Eichmond, Badiance and the 

 Killarneys have showed the effect of 

 the heat. A few flowers of Sunburst 

 from young plants have been seen about 

 the stores, but nothing as yet to show 

 the true character of this fine novelty. 

 In carnations, Enchantress still leads 

 for quality, though the reds are better 

 than they were a few weeks ago. 



Yellow and purple centaureas and 

 hunnemannia are in fine shape. The 

 latter is much the finest of the poppy 

 family grown for market, as it does 

 not close up at night, like the Cali- 

 fornia poppy, and always keeps its de- 

 lightful yellow. Sweet peas are still 

 good, water lilies are more plentiful 

 and there is an abundance of all the 

 smaller stocks. Gladioli are every- 

 where in evidence and in great variety, 

 but America of good quality is still on 

 the scarce side. Valley and orchids are 

 in shorter supply, but there appears to 

 be enough to take care of the demand. 

 Greens of all kinds are plentiful. 

 There is a scarcity of good plants for 

 store decoration, those seen around 

 hardly answering this description. 



Various Notes. 



Tony Tassano is now the proud 

 father of a fine boy, and both Mrs. 

 Tassano and her first-born are doing 

 nicely. Tony always has a smile for 

 everyone, but it is now more expansive 

 than ever. 



Among the finest pieces sent to the 

 Haas Baruch opening was a magnificent 

 horseshoe of red carnations, the work 

 of the Boserie Flower Shop. 



H. N. Gage is planning a trip to San 

 Francisco, on business and pleasure 

 bent. Trade has been lively at the 

 store and the removal of the stock to 

 the new grounds at Montebello is also 

 a big undertaking. Mr. Gage showed 

 me some grand Paper White narcissi, 

 ornithogalum and freesias that go to 

 show that these bulbs can be as well 

 grown right here in southern California 

 as anywhere in the world. 



The funeral of Walter Parker, tax 

 agent for the Southern Pacific railway, 

 made a lot of work. O. C. Saakes had 

 some elegant pieces. 



Albert Knopf and A. F. Borden are 

 congratulating themselves and each 

 other over the fact that they are doing 

 just as much business at the Bedondo 

 Floral Co.'s Spring street store as they 

 previously did at the two stores, and 

 only one rent to pay. Long may their 

 success continue! 



Frank Lichtenberg was unable to get 

 away for his vacation as early as he 

 expected, owing to press of work. At 

 the time of my visit, July 10, he was 

 just putting the finishing touches to a 

 magnificent casket cover of My Mary- 

 land roses, adiantum and Asparagus 

 Sprengeri. 



S. Murata has gone to San Francisco 

 on a business trip. His assistants say 

 business has been excellent. 



Business keeps up well at the Los 

 Angeles Flower Market — so well that 

 Manager Charles Morton is thinking of
