The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



Business is very dull and to make 

 tilings worse the great labor strike still 

 exists and the port is practically tied up. 

 -Money is a scarce article during the 

 present troubles between capital and 

 labor, as all kinds of business is affected. 



The Pacific Coast Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its third meetinjr on Aug. 5 

 at Mission Opera House, Mission street, 

 San Francisco. This society was organ- 

 ized at San Francisco on July 1 with 

 sixteen charter members. At the second 

 meeting thirty-four members were pres- 

 ent, and at the third meeting held on 

 the 5th the membership list had run 

 tip to eighty and the charter was voted 

 as closed. The Chine.se, Japanese and 

 •the ladies" will not be admitted to 

 membership. We can well dispense with 

 the Chinese and Japs and would be bet- 

 ter pleased if they were in another plan- 

 et, but it seems a little hard on the ladies 

 to bar them from the society. Perhaps 

 the members who voted against the la- 

 dies were afraid their mothers-in-law 

 would get a chance to sit alongside them 

 at the meetings and put a bridle on 

 their tongues, "or perhaps the tobacco 

 smoke and "hot air" would be more than 

 they could stmd. However, there arc 

 times when the boys like to be alone, so 

 I guess the meetings of our society will 

 be part of those times. The majority 

 has it. 



Some time in September a dahlii show 

 will be held, by the members only, and 

 $7.50 will be offered as prize money. 

 Seven exhibitors are expected. 



At the meeting J. Thomson, gardener 

 for Mr. Lloyd Tevis, made an' exhibit 

 of cactus dahlias, named. The blooms 

 were splendid and much admired by all 

 present. 



Mr. Wm. Eldrege, gardener for W. H. 

 Crocker, made a display of pansies 

 that were simply magnificent, the finest 

 I ever saw in colors and they were much 

 admired by the members. 



A chrysanthenuim show is proposed 

 for October but whether it will be a 

 public show or for members only is yet 

 to be determined. 



The following gentlemen were elected 

 to act as officers for three months be- 

 ginning from July 1 : President, H. 

 Platts; \'ice-president. Wm. Eldrege: re- 

 oordinar secretary, H. H. Lilienthal; 

 finincial secretary. Chas. F. Fick; treas- 

 urer, P. Cauhape: librarian. Fred Cleis; 

 ushers, Chas. Winkel and G. Gagne. 



All gardeners, fiorists, growers and 

 seedsmen on the Pacific coast ought to 

 become members of this new society be- 

 cause it will be a benefit to one and 

 all. The seedsmen and florists will know 

 its benefit by being known among pri- 

 vate gardeners, etc., md the working 

 gardener and gmwer will know its bene- 

 fit by coming in touch with employers 

 of gardeners md growers. Flower shows 

 will be held in season and every man 

 will have a chance to show what he can 

 do as a grower, and liberal cash prizes 

 will be offered it all shows for well- 

 grown plants and blooms of high merit. 



San Francisco has been long in want 

 of just such an organization. In fact 

 it was the only large city in the "United 

 States that was without one. So get to- 

 gether, boys, and make our societv what 

 it no doubt will be, one of the best in 

 America. J. N.
