established. The houses have a steeper 

 pitch than usual and are ventilated on 

 only one side, owing to the brisk breeze 

 that blows here every day from the 

 ocean. Mr. Armacost says they usually 

 have to reduce the air by noon. The 

 orchids are becoming a noticeable fea- 

 ture here; large quantities of phaUe- 

 nopsis are grown, as well as cattleyas. 

 In addition to the houses devoted to cut 

 flowers and greens, there are about 

 6,000 fine cyclamens, ranging from 5- 

 inch pots to 9-inch. The whole place 

 is in first-class order and reflects a 

 great deal of credit on all concerned in 

 its management. 



One of the prettiest windows seen for 

 a long time is that at Darling's Flower 

 Shop. It consists of Golden West dahlias 

 and blue delphiniums, a* charming com- 

 bination. H. R. Richards,

The Market. 



There is no special activity here, but 

 business is fairly good considering the 

 season. The market is called upon to 

 dispose of quantities of summer flowers, 

 and there is little change since last re- 

 port in general outdoor stock. Margue- 

 rites, Shasta daisies, gaillardias, mari- 

 golds, gypsophilas, stocks, statice, etc., 

 are in bountiful supply and there is a 

 large cut of nice cornflowers. Dahlias 

 are here in ever-increasing supply; 

 though Burgle is the predominating va- 

 riety, a good many other kinds are to 

 be seen. The stock cleans up fairly 

 well at normal prices. Gladioli main- 

 tain their popularity with remarkable 

 persistency, but, fortunately for some 

 of the other flowers, are gradually fall- 

 ing off in quantity. Carnations are not 

 overplentiful, but there is a sufficiency 

 for all requirements, as they move 

 rather slowly in competition with so 

 much other seasonable stock. The sup- 

 ply of chrysanthemums is increasing 

 rapidly, but they still cut little figure 

 in the market. Sweet peas are going 

 off and they are not greatly missed. 



The growers are all bringing in 

 asters, and it will be only a matter of 

 a short time before the market will 

 be flooded. Good stock now has a good 

 sale. A fair quantity of Lilium rubrum 

 and auratum finds a ready outlet. 

 There is a good cut of roses, consider- 

 ing the season, and they clean up as 

 well as can -be expected in view of the 

 abundance of other nice offerings. 

 Ulrich Brunner can be seen everywhere 

 and has a good sale. More orchids 

 could probably be used if they were 

 available. In potted stock some nice 

 Cincinnati and Lorraine begonias are 

 putting in an appearance. Some fine 

 tuberous begonias also are offered. 

 Potted hydrangeas are still plentiful 

 and the demand is surprisingly good. 



Various Notes. 



Wherever a few florists have congre- 

 gated lately, the conversation has 

 sooner or later drifted to someone's 

 version of the bomb explosion at Stuart 

 and Market streets during the prepared- 

 ness parade last week. The special flo- 

 rists' division was ordered to form at 

 that corner, and the marchers were 

 just arriving when the dreadful calam- 

 ity took place, killing six people and in- 

 juring a great many more spectators, 

 flome of whom died later. None of the 

 florists was hit, although several of 

 them were in the immediate vicinity.

We were certainly pleased with the results secured 



from your Seed last year and florists who visited the University greenhouses said they 

 were the finest sweet peas they had ever seen. They made an unusually strong growth 

 and produced great quantities of blooms, 



CHAS, B. SAYRE, instructor in Floriculture. 



I have received over 1000 such testimonials inside of ten months. 



WARNING:— There are or will be advertised many so-called new Winter Spencers. I 

 have seen many new names on the Exhibition tables, but by careful examination all were 

 identical with my older Winter Orchid, years in commerce, excepting the Yarrawa. Should 

 you buy any such so-called novelty, test it side by side with my orig^inal varieties and 

 judge for yaurself ,
