EXHIBITION AT SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Portola Flower Show under the 

 management of the Pacific Horticul- 

 tural and California State Floral So- 

 cieties, closed October 16, after at- 

 tracting an unusually large crowd dur- 

 ing three days at the Fairmont Hotel. 



The first prize for flower filled ham- 

 pers was awarded to Pelicano & Rossi, 

 whose exhibit was a beautiful display. 

 The second prize for a hamper of mis- 

 cellaneous flowers went to the Art 

 Floral Company. The sweepstake 

 prize went to H. Plath as the winner 

 of the greatest number of exhibits, in 

 cash. S. E. Slade ranked second and 

 the Art Floral Company third. 



One of the most beautiful features 

 was the display of tuberous begonias. 

 Three large tables were filled with 

 these flowers from the Henry E. Both- 

 in place, Ross Valley. 



The artistic arrangement of set 

 pieces was a striking feature. Notice- 

 a-ble among these was the Venetian 

 water scene The back wall was of 

 mai.ienhair ferns, arched over with 

 Liberty roses and ferns. Columns of 

 coreopsis, the brackets of gailardias, 

 with a gondola on the pond of the 

 same flowers.

 on the entire display, were John Mere- 

 ly, superintendent of parks at Los An- 

 geles; Robert Armstrong, also from 

 the southern city, and William Hert- 

 rich of San Gabriel.

NEW BEDFORD NOTES. 



White and Pink Ivory at this date 

 and Adelaide and Yellow Bonnaffon to 

 follow them are the leading mid-sea- 

 son chrysanthemums in this market 

 this season. Wm. P. Peirce has them 

 in excellent quality and R. E. Nofftz 

 is already in with Bonnaffon. At the 

 greenhouses of R. H. Woodhouse are 

 to be seen as usual, many novelties in 

 chrysanthemums. Last year this 

 grower bought and tested twenty-six 

 highly praised varieties and of them 

 he has only retained three. He is 

 recognized here as an expert and crit- 

 ic. Outdoor flowers are all gone with 

 the exception of a few stragglers in 

 sheltered spots. Business in floral and 

 nursery lines is reported good, all 

 around. 



A'^isitors last week were: John Fltz- 

 harris of Roseville Pottery Co., Zanes- 

 ville, O.; A. Zirkmann, representing 

 M. Rice & Co., and S. D. Green repre- 

 senting H. Bayersdorier & Co., Phila- 

 delphia.
