affair and Ex-president H. Plath made 

 a short speech of congratulation on the 

 occasion, which was heartily concurred 

 in.. 



Reporting for the flower show com- 

 mittee, Mr. Plath said it had been de- 

 cided to hold a dahlia *o\* in conjunc- 

 tion with the California Dahlia Society 

 — not the Dahlia Growers' Association 

 — and that application had been made 

 for a hall in the municipal auditorium, 

 for October 3 and 4. A. J. Rossi, who 

 had been asked to look into the mat- 

 ter of the exposition medal awards, 

 explained the delay in giving out the 

 medals and said the distribution will 

 soon be made. It was found necessary 

 to elect a new trustee of the society. 

 A special election will be held at the 

 next meeting. 



The evening's exhibits were notable. 

 Richard Diener had thirty vases of 

 seedling gladioli, all developed during 

 the last three years. The flowers were 

 not at their best, however, and were 

 only awarded eighty-five points. He 

 also exhibited, not for competition, a 

 new hybrid petunia with a large and 

 finely colored bloom. F. Pelicano had a 

 vase of two blooms and two buds of 

 his prize-winning exposition seedling 

 dahlia, not yet named, flame-colored and 

 eight to nine inches in diameter, which 

 took ninety-five points. F. Burns, of 

 San Rafael, showed blooms of Flamingo 

 and H. Mairs dahlias, with four new 

 1916 seedlings, some of them showing 

 good qualities, which were awarded 

 eighty-five points.

 window last week, with several of the 

 cups to be awarded at the California 

 Dahlia Growers' Association show as 

 part of the attraction. Many standard 

 varieties were shown, with the exposi- 

 tion seedling as the central attraction. 

 This seedling is considered one of the 

 finest that have lately appeared, these 

 particular blooms being over ten inches 

 in diameter, of a fine bronze and flame 

 color and with a strong, healthy stem. 

 The exhibit kept a crowd in front of 

 the store all day. James Keegan has 

 returned from a vacation in southern 

 California, where he took in the San 

 Diego exposition and made a jaunt over 

 to Tia Juana. They do say that he 

 tried to join the Mescal Club, and came 

 near getting shot.
