Exhibitions. 



At the flower show held in San Fran- 

 cisco Mr. Frank Pelicano took the lion's 

 share of honors. Mr. John Carbone, of 

 Berkeley, came next with a grand dis- 

 play of carnations, new and standard va- 

 rieties, also winning the first prize for 



the best single bloom in chrysanthe- 

 mums. Domoto Bros., Fruitvale, made 

 the largest and best display of chrysan- 

 themums and received first prizes in that 

 class. 



The recent flower show held under the 

 auspices of the California State Floral 

 Socict}' was a big success financially, ac- 

 cording to the report of the treasurer. 

 Besides paying all expenses there is a 

 substantial balance which was ordered 

 turned into the treasury. 



It was decided to hold a rose show 

 in May, 1!)01, and preparations for the 

 affair will begin six months prior to that 

 date. The advisabilit.y of increasing the 

 number of vice-presidents from one to 

 two and the board of directors from two 

 to four was discussed and the plan will 

 probably be carried out. 



After the business meeting O. V. 

 Lange, of Berkeley, gave an half hour 

 talk on "Flower Photography," using a 

 number of cleverly taken pictures pre- 

 pared in his own art gallery. The proc- 

 ess of photographing flowers is nearer 

 the point of perfection now than it has 

 even been before. In the case of highly 

 tinted flowers, the speaker said: "It re- 

 quires most delicate shading on the part 

 of the photographer in order to bring 

 out a truthful reproduction of the sub- 

 ject." J. N.
