The idea is that the stock will be grown on to the fin- ished sizes before it is offered to the trade. LOS AKGEUiS. :x!T^ci:x The Market. The cold nights of the last week have again put carnations in poor shape for shipping and some complaints are heard around the wholesale houses. If we had good indoor flowers to take the place of field stock, the retailers within the ship- ping area of Los Angeles would have less cause for complaints, but they have been so long used to good and cheap carna- tions that they forget the fact that many of the growers have gone into other lines of business and that carna- tions previously had been their favor- ites.
