finely grown and in good cultural con- 

 dition, each piuM a reptfca of the other. 

 ^ great deal of credit is due to this 

 young and energetic firm for the show- 

 ii^fr made in a-fihort time. 



The Mentor Nursery, Robert Pegg 

 proprietor, sh6\Fed a pretty group of 

 plants in which Bougainvillea lateritia 

 If as prominent; also a fine lot of the 

 African daisy, Dimorphotheca auran- 

 tiaea. 



Tlieodore Payne, of Los Angeles, put 

 up a group of rare and unique plants 

 and shrubs, which was the center of 

 an interested group of spectators dur- 

 ing the whole continuance of the show. 



The Los Angeles Flower Market was 

 the only wholesale flower firm from 

 Los Angeles that showed, C. E. Mor- 

 ton putting up a fine table of tulips. 



William Hertrich, gardener at the 

 Huntington estate, put up a group of 

 palms, ferns and foliage plants and a 

 good display of cinerarias came from 

 William Hutchinson, gardener for Mrs. 

 Eva Fenyes. 



The progress made in school garden- 

 ing here was well shown in the pretty 

 display of flowers, the fine vegetables 

 and interesting exhibits of correctly 

 named wild flowers put up by the pub- 

 lic school children. 



I should like to mention many more 

 of the fide exhibits made by private 

 gardeners, did space permit, but I can- 

 not close without a word for J. Mc- 

 Gillivray, the president of the associa- 

 tion ana manager of the show. From 

 first to last he was never too busy to 

 attend to every detail of management, 

 and the smoothness of the arrange- 

 ments and the good feeling permeating 

 the whole show were largely due to his 

 unceasing energy and never-failing 

 tact. 



The judging was in the hands of W. 

 Donald, W. E. Felgate, of Sierra Madre; 

 Fred Howard, of Howard & Smith, Los 

 Angeles; H, R. Richards, of Los An- 

 geles; Theodore Payne, J. Taylor and 

 I. Farrel. 



Various Notes. 



There has seldom been a more_pleas- 

 ant gathering than at a "house-warm- 

 ing" dinner given by Mr, and Mrs. 

 Fischer, of San Gabriel, April 13, in 

 their new home. As Mr. Fischer said, 

 it was too late to show us freesias, but 

 he could show us a good time, and he 

 surely did. The roads are fine and the 

 whole party made the trip in autos. 

 After allowing time for a short look 

 around, Mrs. Fischer announced dinner, 

 which was a splendid one, to which all 

 did ample justice. Home-raised turkey 

 ??<i other good things disappeared rap- 

 idly and everyone present was loud in 

 praise of our host and hostess. Besides 

 Mr. and Mrs. Fischer and family, the 

 following were present: R. W. Saakes 

 and wife, J. Dieterich, wife, son and 

 Jaughter, H. N. Gage and wife, C. E. 

 *iorton, wife and daughter, all of Los 

 Anfieies; Fred Howard and wife, Henry 

 ™er, wife and "Boy," and H. R. 

 ^•Phards and wife, of Montebello. 



Charlie C. Miller, of 329 North Men- 

 tor avenue, Pasadena, has added a new 

 [■OS" house, 34 x 100, ami is thinking of 

 DuWding another, 40 x 200, this summer. 

 The quality of Mr. Miller's roses this 

 Season is especially good and at the re- 

 J^f 'it spring show at Pasadena he exhib- 

 »tea elegant Beauties, Chatenays and 

 Llrich Brunners. He is planting sev- 

 eial nevelties this year.

& Smith's, at Montebello, and for many 

 weeks lovers of these showy and beau- 

 tiful plants will have a treat in store. 

 The roses, too, are grand. 



A storm of an unusual character vis- 

 ited the foothill region north of this 

 city April 14. Hail and sleet fell at 

 Pasadena and the tents which had been 

 used for the show were blown down. 



Speakman & Dille are sending in fine 

 Beauties and it is evident that Frank 

 Speakman is keeping his hand in with 

 Killarney, for the flowers are fine in 

 every way. 



Polder & Groen are in with nice pot 

 forget-me-nots and excellent snap- 

 dragons. 



B. W. Saakes will start at once to 

 build a large flat building, having 

 moved his house. He is introducing 

 several innovations that will tend to the 

 comfort of his tenants. 



The name of the Hayward Floral Co. 

 has been changed to that of Darling's 

 Flower Shop. Eeeve Darling, tfiT)ugh 

 one of the youngest florists in the city, 

 has some good ideas about running a 

 business, one of which is giving his cus- 

 tomers extra good value for their 

 money when stock is plentiful, the con- 

 sequence being that his store was filled 

 with customers several days last week 

 when business generally was pretty dull.
