a chance. Funeral work is good here. 

 Stanley Purdy is now with Mr. Saakes, 

 and he and O. Schneider seem to be 

 shaking down to good team work. I 

 have seen O. C. frequently around the 

 best shopping district of late; doubtless 

 the work of selecting the first Christ- 

 mas present for the boy is taking a 

 good deal of his time and consideration. 



If that were possible, I should say 

 Charles Morton is going faster than 

 ever since becoming sole proprietor of 

 the Los Angeles Flower Market. One 

 day he is in San Francisco, the next 

 he is using that persuasive tongue of 

 his to tempt the Fourth street buyers. 

 "Big business" is the constant cry and 

 Mr. Morton is sure "some hustler." 



Tony and his brothers are almost 

 snowed under with holly and fine greens 

 for Christmas, but the demand locally 

 is so good that the new Los Angeles 

 Evergreen ^and Cut Flower Supply Mar- 

 ket is likely to be well cleaned out for 

 Christmas. Good business keeps all on. 

 the run here. 



The two members of the firm of 

 Boyle & Darnaud, of San Diego, were 

 visitors here last week. 



At Dieterich & Turner's Montebello 

 place there is a magnificent display of 

 ornamental stock in large boxes and 

 Japanese tubs that I am sure could not 

 be duplicated in southern California. 

 In palms there are grand specimens of 

 Kentia Forsteriana, besides splendidly 

 grown Bhapis humilis, Cocos australis 

 and C. plumosa, all fresh, green and in 

 the most robust health. The philoden- 

 drons are magnificent; so are the 

 ficuses, while a large number of Japan- 

 ese box, or Buxus Japonica, must be 

 seen to be realized. This is surely a 

 winner; the habit is as good as that 

 of the old B. sempervirens; it is just 

 as clean in growth and as fine in color, 

 while it stands the California sun with 

 impunity. Always looking ahead, Mr. 

 Turner has planted out some hundreds 

 of thousands of this, and, unless all 

 signs fail, this planting is going to pro- 

 duce enormously of green, to say noth- 

 ing about plants, alongside of which 

 the imported Belgium stock will pale. 

 In the roses there are many novelties 

 which must shortly be noted, but just 

 at present I will only mention the 

 fine stock of pot poinsettias. These are 

 dwarf, well finished, with finely colored 

 bracts, and in all sizes, from small 

 stock fit for fern dishes to immense 

 specimens and plants made up with 

 Boston ferns. Surely this ought to be a 

 record-breaking holiday for the firm.
