invited the members of the society to 

 hold a field day any time, probably in 

 September, at the Garden City Pottery 

 Co. place at San Jose. A committee, 

 consisting of H. Plath and A. J. Bossi, 

 was appointed to confer with exposi- 

 tion officials about awards for exhibits, 

 which have not been received by cer- 

 tain members. An invitation was ex- 

 tended to the members by the E. Gill 

 Nursery Co., of West Berkeley, to at- 

 tend its annual spring rose show. 



Plans for the fall flower show came 

 up for discussion and H. Plath and E. 

 James reported that they had drawn up 

 a provisional prize list, the schedule be- 

 ing the same as that of last year. The 

 committee hopes to get the use of the 

 Civic Auditorium free. Much interest 

 is shown in the show and it promises 

 to be one of the best ever arranged by 

 the society. Announcement was made 

 that the sweet pea show next month 

 will be held in the Palace hotel. 



The question box provided food for 

 some interesting discussions at the close 

 of the business session. The evening's 

 exhibits made a good showing. The 

 MacEorie-McLaren Co. received ninety- 

 five points for some sprigs of Leptosper- 

 mum NichoUii, an Australian shrub, 

 which does well in California. A pot 

 of French hydrangeas, by H. Plath, took 

 ninety points, and a showing of several 

 varieties of snapdragons, by J. A. Shil- 

 ling; of San MateO; took eighty-five 

 points. 



Various Notes. 



The E. Gill Nursery Co., winner of 

 the P. P. I. E. gold medal for roses, 

 last week sent out invitations to mem- 

 bers of the trade and their friends to 

 attend its grand spring rose show to 

 be held at the West Berkeley grounds, 

 San Pablo and Marin avenues. May 19 

 and 20.

The Magnificent Lavender Freesia 



VB only commercial colored Freesia in the world. A truly wonderful 

 novelty that took many years to produce. The above cut will give 

 some idea of its beauty. It represents a bunch of only twelve sprays 

 photographed side by side with my new GIANT WHITE. One glance will 

 satisfy anyone of its wonderful commercial merit, and no words are necessary 

 to describe it except to say that the bunches figured measure nearly three feet 

 tall, not including the vase. It is much larger and stronger in every way than 

 Purity, one of its parents ; has the same fine habit of growth and is very fra- 

 grant. 



I offer it in two shades of color, a bluish lavender and 

 a reddish lavender. Only good-sized, flowering bulbs sold
