The Florists^ Review 



45 



Lanier Bros, at 837 Seventh street. The 

 spikes are good; the flowers are large 

 and of elegant color. Funeral work 

 has been plentiful here. 



I visited the greenhouses and nur- 

 sery establishment of Boyle & Darnaud 

 and was surprised to see how much had 

 been accomplished under what appear 

 to be unpromising conditions. The 

 place is partly in a ravine or canyon 

 and the natural soil looks anything but 

 good, but, owing to the application of 

 fertilizer and water, the growth made 

 by the plants is splendid. The roses 

 have immense shoots, and some mag- 

 nificent Lilium giganteum were being 

 cut at the time of my visit. The two 

 new houses are well under way. Mr. 

 Boyle is active in the construction 

 end, while Mrs. Boyle is greatly inter- 

 ested in the culture. Mr. Darnaud 's 

 end, at the store, is also well looked 

 after and it is pretty safe to predict 

 great success for them all. 



After the terrible accident on the 

 torpedo boat in the harbor here. May 

 24, Boyle & Darnaud had the whole of 

 the funeral work, including twenty-five 

 floral pieces and numerous sprays. The 

 officers and men were so pleased with 

 the work that they decided to ship the 

 entire order back to the east with the 

 remains of these heroes who died at 

 their post. 



George Otto keeps busy at his store 

 on Fourth street and some excellent 

 funeral work was turned out while I 

 was there. Mr, Otto is a specialist in 

 roses and grows a good deal of his own 

 stock. The blue rambler, Veilchenblau, 

 is grown by him and I noticed a fine 

 bunch of this singular rose in his store. 



Charles E. Morton and Mrs. Morton, 

 of Los Angeles, were visitors here last 

 week, having made the trip in their 

 Buick. That some of the printed re- 

 marks about Mr. Morton breaking the 

 speed laws are unfounded, I can vouch 

 for, having made the trip over the 

 dangerous road from San Diego to Los 

 Angeles with him. Had our loquacious 

 friend been with us, he might have had 

 his hair raised all right, not from the 

 speed, but from the nature of the 

 ground covered. Beautiful, indeed, are 

 the views of mountain and ocean scen- 

 ery, but a cool head, steady nerves and 

 a dependable machine are all factors 

 in the safe negotiation of the grade 

 curves and other impediments of the 

 road. 



In the city parks John Morley is con- 

 tinuing his good work, much heavy 

 grading being under way to improve 

 the unsafe curves of the roads. The 

 new lawns are looking fine, and others 

 are to be laid out as the appropriations 

 allow. The new plantings are begin- 

 ning to take shape and there has been 

 a big improvement during the last few 

 months. 



In the exposition nursery, P. G. 

 Thiene has some extra fine stock get- 

 jing ready for the grounds. The big 

 lath house here is made so that the 

 Y'lole side opens out in the form of 

 •loors, thus facilitating the removal of 

 the large specimens grown therein, 

 'here is much too large a list here to 

 permit the mention of it all, so I must 

 ^e contented to say that there is not a 

 nner lot of nursery stock on the coast 

 and it will surely open the eyes of the 

 J"any visitors when the gates of the 

 oig show are opened in 1915.

To 



Pacific Coast 



Plerists: 



What stock have yon 

 for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it shonld ? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade about 

 it by using the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably rejwrt good 

 results. Like this: 



Flease cut otit of our advertisement in The Re- 

 view ttie cyclamen seedlingrs. We sold all our 

 surplus cyclamen seedlings as a direct result of 

 our advertlEement in your paper.— Spokane 

 Greenhouses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that our last adveriiaement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At- 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem, 

 Ore., and from Salem, Mass.— State Floral Co.. 

 North Yakima, Wash. 



We are well pleased with the results obtained 

 by advertising in the Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused 

 many orders. The Review surely gives results.
