with an increase over preceding years. 

 Some lines have been particularly ac- 

 tive. 



M. Eeukauf, of Bayersdorfer & Co., 

 Philadelphia, dropped dn "unheratded 

 and report^ business as satisfactory. 



F. A. Van Kirk finished planting out 

 bis carnations last week. He believes 

 in early planting when the weather jus- 

 tifies. 



Mrs. Chas. Whiting, of Astoria, was 

 a week-end caller. 



Geo. Betz has opened a flower counter 

 in connection with a fruit stand in the 

 Yeon building, with H. Hefty in charge-.

SANTA BABBABA, OAL. 



A well known nurseryman here says: 

 "We have a climate where everything 

 grows;" and it looks like it. Every- 

 thing not only grows but luxuriates. 

 The surroundings of the town, with the 

 fine groves of live oaks, sycamores and 

 other native timbers, are beautiful in 

 the extreme, the moist atmosphere giv- 

 ing a more vivid green to the foliage 

 than in localities farther south. Many 

 things that have suffered from frost 

 in Los Angeles and San Diego are ap- 

 parently immune here, although the 

 temperature readings here were lower. 



The California Acclimatizing Asso- 

 ciation, with which Dr. Franceschi was 

 for a long time associated, carries a 

 big stock of many classes of trees, 

 shrubs and other plants not generally 

 known and Mr. Eiedel, the proprietor, 

 is well posted on these varieties. A 

 list of the stock here would read like 

 a botanical work, but I must mention 

 the fine specimen of Eosa gigantea that 

 scrambles away up into the tops of trees 

 forty feet high and is one mass of im- 

 mense single flowers. Mr. Eiedel has 

 also a cement pot here that he makes 

 for convenience in shipping trees. The 

 bottom is loose and the pot stands on 

 it, so when lifted the tree or plant 

 has not to be knocked out, but a bur- 

 lap can be placed on a convenient post 

 and the plant slips out of the pot into 

 the burlap covering. This is a good 

 idea. 



J. Whipple has just returned from a 

 trip to Los Angeles. He has a fine lot 

 of Lilium giganteum in good shape and 

 reports business good. 



The Exotic Nurseries carry a high 

 grade of nursery stock in all varieties, 

 the young plants all being raised from 

 seed on the place. They may be seen 

 here in all sizes in the finest health 

 and are shipped away by the carload. 

 A recent shipment took five cars to 

 handle. 



The Kentia Nurseries are on State 

 street, having a large branch farther 

 out in the country. Big lots of kentias 

 are grown, as well as a general line of 

 nursery stock. 



The Mission Oak Nursery, run by A. 

 Beverley, makes a specialty of small 

 plants in great variety. He uses (and 

 sells) the Pacific sprinklers with good 

 results. A number of grand old live 

 oaks here shelter much of the stock 

 grown, including some fine large speci- 

 mens of Alsophila australis, which are 

 making a most luxuriant growth. 



An automobile drive through the 

 beautiful Montecito and Miranar dis- 

 tricts with Messrs. Boyt and Beverley, 

 of the Sunshine Irrigation Co., proved 

 to be the most pleasant part of an en- 

 joyable visit. The large private es- 

 tates here are just as near perfection 

 as they well can be. Set in the grand-

 each one has individual features that 

 are admirable in their own way. In 

 one, from grand stretches of lawn, 

 green as an emerald, vistas of the 

 ocean are opened up through groups 

 of towering eucalyptus. Others have 

 fine graded roads leading to eminences, 

 from which the whole stretch of moun-

 while again others have sylvan beau-

 not be matched anywhere. The semi- 

 tropical beauties of the southern coun- 

 try are here grouped with the cool, 

 delightful green of the north, making 

 a harmonious whole satisfying in the
