November 21, 1912. 



will build houses for his men and even- 

 tually schools and other conveniences, 

 so that altogether this is a pretty large 

 project. 



The Superior Nursery is sending in 

 excellent Primula obconica, the colors 

 rich and varied, the plants well grown 

 and altogether creditable. 



The fact that the land on which 

 George Watson's houses stand has been 

 sold has given rise to all kinds of 

 rumors. One of these was that Morris 

 Goldenson and Mr. Watson were going 

 to build a large plant on the former's 

 land east of the city. There is abso- 

 lutely no foundation for these rumors. 

 In speaking with Mr. Goldenson, I 

 gleaned the fact that negotiations are 

 in progress with the new owners of the 

 land for an extension of the lease, and 

 that if these go through the place will 

 be continued as heretofore. Mr. Golden- 

 son says that if they are not successful, 

 almost anything might happen. 



Albert Goldenson, brother of Morris, 

 was held up and severely handled "near 

 Pasadena the night of November 13. 

 He had little money on him, but feels 

 pretty badly about it. 



The Freeman-Lewis store passed its 

 first milestone November 4. Both part- 

 ners say that the business done during 

 the year has far exceeded their expec- 

 tations. 



Captain Gray, of the Ingleside Floral 

 Co., says business keeps up remarkably

The Market. 



We have been treated to several 

 showers in the last few days and every- 

 thing has begun to have a wintry look. 

 There have been enough intervals of 

 bright weather, however, to produce 

 plenty of stock. Mums are at their 

 height and the prices are reasonable 

 enough to suit anyone. The finest out- 

 side Bonnaffons can be bought by the 

 retailers at 75 cents per dozen. There 

 was a slight advance during the big 

 football games last week, but that was 

 over in a couple of days and things 

 resumed their regular appearance again. 

 It will take a spell of frost or a few 

 days of continued heavy rain to make 

 any change in present prices. In car- 

 nations the supply is abundant for im- 

 mediate requirements, with many houses 

 of young stock coming on. There has 

 been practically no change in the grow- 

 ers' figures for the last two months. In 

 roses, also, there seems to be an over- 

 abundance, especially of the short- 

 stemmed stock. This is a rather un- 

 usual occurrence at this time. In fancy 

 stock, however, there is but a limited 

 supply and good prices prevail. 



Christmas berries have already made 

 a showing, reminding us that the holi- 

 day season will soon be here. They are 

 not as bright colored as they will be as 

 soon as the frost strikes them. Other 

 lines of stock have not shown any great 

 change, with the exception of gladioli 

 and dahlias, and these are over for the 

 season. Business is only fair, with 

 prospects of plenty in a couple of 

 weeks.
