TTie Florists* Review 



April 13, 1916. 



there are too many short, trashy sweet 

 peas. Pink snapdragon is beginning to 

 appear and cleans up well, but other 

 colors are neglected. Stocks, forget- 

 me-nots, marigolds, marguerites, etc., 

 are offered freely but find limited de- 

 mand. Pansy plants in bloom hold up 

 well. There is enough asparagus for 

 present needs. Rambler roses are im- 

 proving and wistaria still is good. Mord 

 azaleas and some fine rhododendrons 

 are offered, as well as a few first-class 

 French hydrangeas. Heather and spi- 

 raeas are plentiful and move slowly, 

 while gloxinias are fairly well received. 



Horticultural Society Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society, April 1, 

 showed some reaction from the recent 

 social activities, the attendance being 

 rather light, and the absentees included 

 some of the officers and other leading 

 spirits, as well as those who were at 

 the flower show. 



Several interesting matters came up, 

 however, principal among them being 

 the reports of the committees. D. Eay- 

 mond, for the picnic committee, an- 

 nounced plans for an outing at Pine- 

 hurst, July 30, with a charge of 75 

 cents per person from San Francisco or 

 Oakland; that the grounds were 35 min- 

 utes' ride from Oakland and that there 

 was no bar within a mile of the place. 

 His report was approved and it was de- 

 cided to dispense with games on the 

 occasion, but to have music for dancing. 



The exhibition committee reported 

 that a meeting had been held the week 

 previous, at which it was decided to 

 have a show this fall, and further plans 

 and a schedule of prizes will be taken 

 up at the next meeting. H. D. Eng- 

 land, of Burlingame, applied for admis- 

 sion to the society, and under suspen- 

 sion of rules was admitted at that meet- 

 ing, along with Frank Forrest, P. Flip- 

 pelli, Ernest Stover and J. R. Macdon- 

 ald, who had been proposed at the pre- 

 vious meeting. 



The proposed amendments to the by- 

 laws came up for second reading and 

 there was considerable discussion pro 

 and con. In the absence of the chief 

 proponents of some of the propositions, 

 the talk was largely. con. It was voted 

 to give a $25 cup for the Marin county 

 flower show in May and the committee 

 consisting of Messrs. Pelicano, Bagge 

 and Axel, which was appointed to de- 

 termine what the prize should be for, 

 decided on the best group of flowering 

 plants arranged for effect, not over 100 

 square feet. This has since been added 

 to the published premium list as a spe- 

 cial prize. In regard to a field day, the 

 suggestion that the society attend the 

 Marin show in a body met with gen- 

 eral approval. It was suggested that 

 members should take an interest in the 

 coming sweet pea show. As no lecture 

 had been provided, the meeting closed 

 with a general discussion of several 

 questions as to horticultural methods 

 brought up by various members. The 

 evening's exhibits were as follows: Two 

 vases of ranunculi, by Frank Pelicano, 

 70 points; ten vases of lilacs, including 

 some fine double varieties, by J. Gill, 

 75 points; plant of Dendrobium thyrsi- 

 florum, by J. A. Carbone, 98 points. 



Various Notes. 



There has been considerable com- 

 plaint among local growers about rot- 

 ting of the later importations of ranun- 

 culus bulbs.
