REDoNDo BEACH, Aug. 16.-Haettel's
flower seed garden, only started the
present season, is already an assured
success. Seeds from many varieties Of
flowers are now being gathered and for.
warded to the eastern markets. Orders
from Dreer & Co. and Pennock & Co.,
Philadelphia, from seedsmen in Roches-
ter and Buffalo, N. Y, and Detroit,
Mich. are being filled as rapidly as
practicable. The eastern seedsmen have
discovered the fact that California seeds,
| grown under proper conditions, are pre-.
ferable to those found in other locali-
ties, as all seeds produced under our
genial climate come to maturity, while
many seeds gathered in less favored To-
calities are imperfect and fail to germi-
nate. Hence the preference shown by
dealers for the California production.

A thrilling scene was witnessed by
over 5000 people at Redondo beach on
Sunday, when Rex Hardy, the balloon
king, shot hike rocket into the air 5000
feet above the earth, carried by the
beautiful balloon Eclipse, and remained
in the clouds SO long that many turned
sick with fear for his safety, when, like
a wizard. he was seen descending with a
great jelly fish of the parachute order.
hovering over him, and guiding him
safely back to earth. Truly, it was a
wonderful feat. Strolling aeronauts are
frequently met, but there is but one
Rex Hardy. Redondo has secured this
attraction for Sundays, August 2lst and
28th.
