The Florists' Review 



July 13, 1916. 



sultans, gypsophilas, etc., show no signs 

 of abating in supply. 



Among the statice shown this summer 

 are some unusual varieties, which are 

 quite popular. Asters still are short- 

 stemmed, but good stock is expected in 

 a week or two. Notwithstanding the 

 ample supply and great variety of flow- 

 ers already on the market, new lilies 

 are being well received. Lilium ru- 

 brum and L. auratum are coming in 

 plentifully. Eoses, fortunately, are in 

 lighter supply, otherwise they would be 

 a drug on the market. The yellow va- 

 rieties are popular. There is plenty of 

 valley, but orchids remain rather scarce. 

 However, no real shortage is felt, as 

 the demand is not urgent. In flower- 

 ing plants hydrangeas are the principal 

 feature, and they maintain their popu- 

 larity wonderfully well. The trade is 

 beginning to look forward to the ar- 

 rival of the 1916 chrysanthemum crop, 

 which the growers say promises well at 

 Ijhis early date. 



Horticiiltural Society Meeting. 



At the monthly meeting of the Pa- 

 cific Coast Horticultural Society, held 

 on the evening of July 1, with a fair 

 attendance, a letter from Amsterdam 

 was read to the society, offering the 

 services of a bureau free to the mem- 

 bers wishing to export to or import 

 from Holland. In behalf of the picnic 

 committee, D. Raymond announced that 

 arrangements were complete for the 

 outing to be held July 30 at Pinehurst, 

 on the electric line of the Oakland- 

 Antioch railroad. Tickets were on sale 

 at the meeting and members were noti- 

 fied that they could be had later at all 

 the downtown stores showing cards in 

 the windows to that effect. The com- 

 mittee on by-laws was discharged, with 

 thanks. 



Secretary Walter Hofinghoff read 

 Richard Diener's paper on "Hybridiz- 

 ing," and a vote of thanks was taken. 

 The flower show committee suggested 

 that a dahlia show be arranged for 

 September and the proposition met 

 with favor. It was decided to hold the 

 show and to leave the arrangements in 

 the hands of the committee. It was 

 voted that the secretary send letters 

 of condolence to several members in 

 whose families deaths recently have 

 occurred. The question of wholesalers 

 selling at retail in San Francisco and 

 Oakland came up for discussion and it 

 was moved that a committee be ap- 

 pointed to confer with a committee of 

 retail florists in the matter. 



After some discussion regarding the 

 desirability of gardeners in this vi- 

 cinity being organized, it was decided 

 that it was outside the functions of 

 the society to act. No exhibits were 

 entered for award, but F. C. Burns 

 showed two new seedling dahlias, hy- 

 brids of Delice and Geisha, which have 

 not been named. Charles Abraham ex- 

 hibited a spray each of tecoma, big- 

 nonia, metrosideros and thalictrum. 



Various Notes.
