needed more than ever before, when 

 horticulture is beginning to take on the 

 importance to which it is entitled in 

 thi^ favored clime, that savant is al- 

 lowed to go. He will be greatly missed 

 now, but the full extent of his loss will 

 be felt more and more as the years go 

 by and as questions of importance crop 

 up that only he is capable of deciding. 

 I hear that he has definitely decided on 

 his course of action, but if there is any 

 possible means of keeping him with us, 

 these means should be taken, no matter 

 at what cost. 



The H. N. Gage Co. is especially 

 strong on good asters. 



William Haerle, of Hollywood, has 

 been down with pneumonia, but is 

 around again. 



Fine Lilium rubrum is being offered 

 at the Los Angeles Flower Market. 



Henry Turner, of Dieterich & Turner, 

 Montebello, has purchased a fine Stod- 

 dard Dayton roadster. 



Miss Parsons, of Fresno, was in town 

 during the week, on a sad errand. Her 

 mother died last week and the remains 

 were brought to Hollywood for inter- 

 ment. 



S. Murata is one of the busiest men 

 in town these days. Quiet times do not 

 seem to affect him and he is handling 

 a large cut of new-crop carnations. 



H. Eeeve Darling returned recently 

 from his vacation trip. He looks well 

 and reports having had a fine time while 

 away. 



Frank Lichtenberg is still too busy 

 to get away from the store for long at 

 a time, though taking short trips. Mrs. 

 Lichtenberg and the staff are kept 

 busy. 



Harry Bailey, of Montebello, is clos- 

 ing out some of his flower business and 

 going in more largely for citrus fruit 

 culture. He has several fine blocks of 

 promising young orange and lemon 

 trees. H, R. Richards. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The midsummer dullness is still with 

 us and, from general appearances, there 

 will be little doing for several weeks 

 or until cool weather drives the towns- 

 people back into town. Asters are now 

 at their height and are much cheaper 

 than they were one year ago. The 

 reason for this is not easy to give, ex- 

 cept that the demand has been so slight 

 this season that it is impossible to 

 maintain prices. Of the other outside 

 flowers there is an abundance. Violets 

 are a little more plentiful, but are of 

 poor quality so fiar. Dahlias are having 

 the weather that suits them and the 

 same can be said of the gladioli. These 

 are also affected by the generally poor 

 prices and are not averaging the grow- 

 ers more than seventy-five per cent of 

 what they did one year ago. 



Early amaryllis is in season. Lilies, 

 with the exception of some longi- 

 florums, are about over. Valley is 

 plentiful and moves slowly. Good roses 

 are scarce, and of the fancy stock 

 there is apparently none in town. On 

 the other hand, carnations are plenti- 

 ful, cheap and good. We have never 

 seen a better assortment of fine flowers 

 than we have had this season. Other 

 kinds of stock are as usual and the 

 only thing that troubles is the want of 

 a few good orders.
