ter being off crop, anyway. Both items 

 clean up fairly well, though at easy 

 prices. Outdoor summer flowers still 

 predominate; snapdragon is abundant 

 and large lots of statice and gypsophilas 

 eome in every day, as well as scabiosas, 

 Bweet sultans, etc. There is a fine cut 

 of zinnias, which are used more than 

 for many years. Many handsome sun- 

 flowers are coming in and some florists 

 are making effective use of them. 



A new offering within the last fort- 

 night is amaryllis, which already is 

 quite plentiful but is well received. 

 Tritomas are going off crop; at least 

 there are few in the market. The really 

 conspicuous item at present is asters, 

 which are brought in by the ton by the 

 Chinese growers. Their extremely low 

 price, bright appearance and keeping 

 quality gains them an enormous de- 

 mand, quantities being used in stores 

 and offices which seldom use flowers. 

 The cut of Lilium rubriim and L. aura- 

 tum is increasing, but these still clean 

 up well. No tigrinum have yet ap- 

 peared. 



The large cut of gladioli is off, but 

 many growers have a good second crop. 

 The prices are rather low. Dahlias still 

 are improving and fine stock of many 

 varieties is shown, bringing fairly good 

 prices. Sweet peas are gradually going 

 out and the trade gives them little at- 

 tention. Chrysanthemums are expected 

 to be fairly plentiful within a couple 

 of weeks, but so far the trade has. given

them little consideration, both growers 

 and dealers expressing disapproval over 

 rushing them in so soon, as they merely 

 compete with other stock and spoil the 

 public's appetite for them later on. 

 Offerings of violets are hardly worth 

 Mentioning. Orchids are scarce and 

 many more could be sold than are avail- 

 able, though the demand is not really 

 heavy. Gardenias are in about the 

 same position, though the new crop is 

 beginning to appear. Valley is almost 

 entirely out of the market. 



Horticultural Society Picnic. 



The picnic held July 30 by the Pa- 

 cific Coast Horticultural Society was an 

 even greater success than had been ex- 

 pected. Most of those who attended 

 were well pleased. The day was an 

 ideal one; there was just a touch of 

 wind and mist in the city, which meant 

 comfortable warmth after passing the 

 tunnel into Redwood canon, on the Oak- 

 land & Antioch railroad. The affair 

 was one of the best attended that have 

 ever been held. The membership of

the society was fairly represented, in- 

 cluding the families of many members, 

 and there was a large crowd from the 

 retail stores and growers outside the 

 organization. A number of the florists 

 closed for the day, or part of the day, 

 in order to attend. 



Several carloads assembled at the 

 ferry at 9:20 a. m. and were joined 

 in Oakland by the large east side crowd, 

 reaching the grounds about 11 a. m. 

 Some time later a crowd arrived in 

 Frank Pelicano's auto truck, followed 

 by P. Ferrari in his auto. A basket 

 luncheon was eaten at tables under the 

 redwoods and along the hillside, and 

 afterward the younger people were at- 

 tracted to the large dancing floor, where 

 an orchestra had started up soon after 

 arriving. D. Raymond, chairman of 

 the picnic committee, put in a lively
