THE SOIL CARRIEB IN USE. 



SAVES TIME, LABOR \ MONEY 



We call your attention to our Oravity Carriers for oonveyins soil into and out of 

 ffreenhouses. You are awars of the great amount of labor necessary for changing the 

 loam in your benches. It requires but a few feet of our Oravity Carriers to reduce 

 this expense. 



Oarrierg are made in eight and four foot sections, which can be instantly Joined; 

 the rollers are of the best seamless steel tubing, ball bearing, and are 14 inches in length 

 by 2'4 inches in diameter. Cut shows how they operate. 



A run of carrier is set up with one end projecting through a window and a cart 

 containing the loam is placed at this end. The loam is shoveled into the boxes, which 

 are pushed or conveyed by gravity into" the house and dumped into the benches. Empty 

 boxes are pushed back to cart over same run of carrier. When the beds within a con- 

 venient radius are filled, the carrier is set up at another window and the work contin- 

 ues tmtil all benches are filled. For removing soil the process is, of course, similar. 



We shall be pleased to furnish further details relative to construction and dura- 

 bility of tiie carriers ; also, upon receipt of information relative to size of your green- 

 houses, furnish an estimate of the cost of a system for your reauirements.

LOS ANGELES NOTES. 



lUontmned from pacre 56.] 

 Morris Goldenson has returned from 

 San Francisco and says there is plenty 

 of stock around the northern city. He 

 is showing some elegant Silver Wedding 

 mums. 



Walter Armacost, of Ocean Park, will 

 be in with an elegant crop of roses 

 and carnations for Christmas. The 

 roses look especially fine, his Beauties 

 having been kept hard all summer. 

 All other varieties are equally strong 

 and vigorous, and the initial holiday 

 of the new plant will surely be a good 

 one. 



The outlook for the citrus fruit nurs- 

 erymen here is of the brightest. With 

 almost twice as many trees grown as in 

 former yeats, prices are well maintained 

 and business is brisk. John R. King, 

 of the J. R. King Nursery Co., of Whit- 

 tier, says that inquiries and orders are 

 better this year than last, much citrus 

 land being 'planted that has hitherto 

 grown barley. 



At the Roserie this week I saw much 

 the finest azaleas so far seen, and in- 

 quiries showed they had been grown 

 by Howard & Smith, at Montebello. 



Murata & Co report business fine, 

 especially in out-of-town shipments. 

 Carnations are especially good here. 



Progress is the watchword of the 

 Germain Seed & Plant Co. Another 

 addition to the holdings of this firm has 

 been made, this time on the Whittier 

 road, halfway to Montebello, where 

 considerable acreage has been secured 

 for a seed trial and sample ground. 

 Greenhouses will be built, besides other 

 structures for the growing of plants, 

 largely vegetable, for which they have 

 an enormous demand. The northern 

 holdings of the firm also enable it to 

 compete closely with other large grow- 

 ers of flower seeds, for which there is 

 an ever increasing demand here and in 

 the east. 



Frank Lichtenberg's store is particu- 

 larly attractive now, the red ruscus be- 

 ing used with good effect. 



The H. N. Gage Co. is doing a big 

 business in made-up garlands of red- 

 wood and other evergreens. The differ- 

 ent species of berberis now being sent 

 down from Oregon, under various 

 names, make elegant decorative mate- 

 rial. 



0. C. Saakes is not any too well 

 pleased to have his windows practically 

 clocked up by scaffolding for the 

 Christmas display time, and it is a 

 shame so elegant a showing has so poor
