In Howard & Smith's Rose Fields. 



Few people in the trade hereabouts 

 realize the great extent of the rose in- 

 dustry as carried on by Howard & 

 Smith, as so many visit the Montebello 

 establishment only. A few miles far- 

 ther south, nearer the ocean, the firm 

 has forty acres of choice land entirely 

 planted to roses. This site was chosen 

 because of the cooler climate, Monte- 

 bello being frostless and therefore toof 

 warm in winter for the thorough rest 

 that is so necessary for good shipping 

 stock of outdoor-budded roses. I had 

 the pleasure of a ride over there re- 

 cently with Fred Howard, who, it mayj 

 be noted in passing, is now thoroughly 

 at home with his big sixty-five horse- 

 power Pope-Hartford. The first thing 

 to arrest attention is a huge planting of 

 Manetti and other stocks, and right 

 here may be seen the secret of the suc- 

 cess of the roses. The stocks are growft 

 from specially selected cuttings each 

 year; consequently they are vigorous 

 and healthy, with grand root systems. 

 For purposes of horse cultivation anji 

 irrigating, they are planted four feet 

 from row to row, so they get plenty of 

 air and light and are the finest lot of 

 stocks I have ever seen. In this one 

 field there are 320,000, all ready for 

 budding, and the work of budding will 

 be in full swing by the time these notes 

 appear. 



It was too late in the season to see 

 the roses at their best, but, naturally, 

 in a field of twenty acres there are 

 some flowers, and while I made no pre- 

 tense of taking notes, a few of the 

 most prominent in bloom may be men- 

 tioned. General MacArthur was a sur- 

 prise. Being so familiar with it as a 

 forcing rose, I was not prepared to see 

 it doing so well and flowering so freely 

 outside and it surely ranks as one of 

 the best reds for this section. Etoile 

 de France is also good for so late in the 

 season, while the pretty little Chateau 

 de Clos Vougeot is a magnificent deep 

 red that withstands the hot sun well. 

 The Lyon is well established here and 

 is fine in color, while the good old Mme. 

 Gabriel Luizet is also flowering with 

 great freedom. Hugh Dickson is grand 

 and shows up well next to that greatest 

 of all white roses, Prau Karl Druschki. 

 The sun had taken most of the color out 

 of the yellows, but Mrs. Aaron Ward, 

 Harry Kirk and Lady Hillingdon were 

 all making a good show. 



Practically all the standard varieties 

 are grown and every novelty of note 

 is tried out. The following occur to 

 mind as all good in their respective 

 colors: Dean Hole, Stella, Gray, Franz 

 Deegan, Leon Pain, Mme. Segond Weber, 

 Pres. Carnot, Melanie, Soupert, Bessie 

 Brown, Clara Watson, Joe Hill, Dorothy 

 Page Roberts, Betty, and Florence 

 Pemberton. The whole place is kept up 

 in the fine order and characteristic 

 neatness which are observed in all the 

 establishments of this noted firm. 



Various Notes. 



Tom Wright is back again at tlie 

 store, looking fine. He saw Lake Tahoe 

 and a good deal of northern scenery on 

 his recent trip, and says he never had 

 a more delightful time. W. Wern is in 

 Portland, taking a well earned rest. 



Business has been running finely.j^t

Pacific Coast 



Florists : 



What stock have you 

 for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should ? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade about 

 it by using the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably report good 

 results. Like this: 



We want to say that our last advertisement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At- 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem, 

 Ore., and from Salem, Mass.— State Floral Co., 

 North Yakima, Wash., June 26, 1912. 



We are well pleased with the results obtained 

 by advertising in tbe Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused many 

 orders. The Review surely gives results.— Van 

 Slyke & Seamons, Tacoma, Wash. 



The transient rate for space 

 is $1 per inch per insertion. 

 Those who have stock to offer 

 all or a considerable part of 

 the year around should write 

 for contract rates.
