SAN FRANCISCO NOTES. 



At a meetins lield recently in Park 

 Lodge in Golden Gale Park the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society decided to 

 omit holding the annual November 

 flower show, and to substitute for it an 

 exhibition next spring. The election 

 of officers for the next twelve months 

 consumed an hour's time, and then in 

 the adjoining home of the parli su- 

 perintendent, John McLaren, the so- 

 ciety was royally banqueted by the 

 superintendent until a late hour. The 

 officers elected were: President, J. W. 

 Bagge, re-elected; vice-president, F. 

 Sultz; recording secretary, T. F. Tay- 

 lor; financial secretary. J. H. Atlvin- 

 son: treasurer, F. Cleis; librarian. 

 John Thiergasten; usher, H. Plath. 



"Give Burbanli; a Rest" is the 

 title of editorial comment in a city 

 paper of October 11. It reads 

 this way: "A stormy remonstrance 

 compiled of equal parts of pleading and 

 indignation is on distribution by a 

 sort of volunteer organization de- 

 scribed by its members as 'the friends 

 and relatives of Luther Burbank.' It 

 seems that Mr. Burbank is harvesting 

 a full crop of the penalties of great- 

 ness and its garnering leaves no time 

 to pay attention to the eccentric to- 

 mato of his choice or the boneless cac- 

 tus that he would embrace were not 

 so many curious idiots looking. Now, 

 Mr. Burbank's volunteer 'friends and 

 relatives' desire to protect him from 

 the intrusive sightseers who regard 

 him as the keeper of a museum in 

 which he is himself the chief exhibit. 

 Further, they, the 'friends and rela- 

 tives,' seek to answer by circular some 

 of the ten thousand questions with 

 which they say, in a strange and in- 

 teresting confusion of metaphors, 'the 

 mail bags continually boil and 

 seethe.' " 



* * * "Give Burbank a rest. Let 

 him pursue in peace the daisy and the 

 peach and the jim dandy, be the of- 

 ficial dry nurse of the blameless 

 potato and the foster-father of the hot 

 and rebellious pepper. 'Tis a fine, con- 

 fused family."
