uouncement party, and the whole thing 

 is to be carried out again in full size 

 for the wedding, April 30. 



Dieterieh & Turner will be in with a 

 fine crop of roses for Easter. Prima 

 Donna has made a magnificent showing 

 and is coming again, and the Kil- 

 larneys are elegant. 



G. W, Smith, of Howard & Smith, 

 has just returned from a business trip 

 to San Francisco. 



One order for 40,000 bunches of 

 daffodils was filled by the Los Angeles 

 Flower Market for the fashion show, 

 beginning March 4. This order was 

 for one store only and is a yearly one 

 for this firm. H. E. Richards. 



PASADENA, OAL. 



Extremely heavy rainfall is causing 

 general rejoicing among the members 

 of the Pasadena Horticultural Associa* 

 tion, as well as farmers, citrus fruit 

 growers and other horticulturists and 

 agriculturists in southern California. 

 The Pasadena association is particu- 

 larly pleased because of the annual 

 spring flower show scheduled for 

 April 10 to 12, at the Hotel Maryland. 

 Although this is an association of ama- 

 teurs and private gardeners, the com- 

 mercial growers and florists always 

 come to the fore with large, creditable 

 exhibits, and the shows attract much 

 att^tion from the general public. 



Announcement is made that the store 

 formerly known as Kempton's Flower 

 Shop, 190 West Colorado street, will be 

 conducted in future as the Bogers 

 Flower Shop. Owing to plans for the 

 building of a large garage where the 

 shop now stands, the latter is to be 

 removed to the next lot west. Work 

 on the change is in progress and the 

 Misses Eogers hope to be permanently 

 settled in the new location within the 

 next few weeks. 



Burglars entered the Campbell Seed 

 Store, 148 West Colorado street, Febru- 

 ary 24, but all they obtained for their 

 trouble was $3.50. This was all that 

 had been left in the cash register and 

 the prowlers apparently cared for 

 nothing but cash. Entrance was ob- 

 tained through the rear door, which 

 had been nailed shut and proved easy 

 to force. A. C. B.

The Market. 



Business is holding up remarkably 

 well. A good call for funeral work is 

 what helps out the situation. With the 

 lengthening of the days and the in- 

 -crease of sunshine, flowers are becom- 

 ing more plentiful. Carnations are al- 

 most a deluge, but, with good manage- 

 ment, the stock is kept pretty well 

 ■cleaned up. Roses are rapidly improv- 

 ing; Brides, Maids, Killarneys and 

 Richmonds are the leading varieties. 

 Violets are in oversupply; hence there 

 is a decline in prices. Valley and or- 

 <jhids move well, with the standard of 

 prices maintained. 



Spring flowers are abundant. Daffo- 

 dils prove the best sellers; yet there is 

 a good call for freesias and tulips. 



Various Notes. 



Karl Gardner is receiving congratu- 

 lations, being the proud father of an 

 S-pound girl. 



Martin & Forbes have a nice batch of 

 lavender and white lilac in pots.
