ROMNEYA COULTERI 



(MATILIJA POPPY) 

 The difficult.v in raising this grand plant 

 from untreated seed is well known. For many 

 years Georgre Southard, of Redlandu, has 

 treated his seed and can absolutely guarantee 

 at least 90 per cent gerniination. The Southard 

 process consists of Tilnoving the glutinous seal 

 with which this seed is coated in the natural 

 condition so that instead of waiting two or 

 three years, as in the past, growers of this noble 

 plant can obtain seedlings in two months. The 

 genuine treated seed can only be obtained from 

 us direct, and the price to the trade is; 

 3 9c per packet of !000 seeds 



$3.50 per dozen pacRets 

 '; Cash with order. j^

torium for the dahlia show to be given 

 by the society in October. The elec- 

 tion of two new trustees was postponed 

 until the next meeting. 



The evening's exhibits made a splen- 

 did showing. Frank Pelicano had a 

 vase of dahlias, containing two each of 

 General Joflfre, a fine pink, and of Be- 

 loit, the vase taking eighty-five points. 

 Richard Diener cxhibited.a new gladi- 

 olus, nearly sky blue in color and large, 

 which was awarded seventy-five points. 

 F. Burns, of San Rafael, brought some 



as it was a week ago. Late gladioli 

 make a splendid showing, but they 

 move rather slowly. Amaryllis does 

 well. Dahlias are better than ever, 

 there being a. magnificent cut of Bur- 

 gle. Burgle is about the only variety 

 much in evidence at the wholesale mar- 

 ket, although many others are used at 

 the retail stores, including many fine 

 seedlings. Eflfort is being made by the 

 growers to make the dahlia the San 

 Francisco flower and liberal advertis-^ 

 ing is having its effect upon the de- 

 mand; some of the stores arc selling 

 more dahlias than ever before. •-.■.', 



The damp weather is bringing but 

 the violets in fine shape arid eastern 

 shipments will probably start soon, 

 unless warm days intervene shortly. 

 The Japanese market is loaded with 

 chrysanthemums that show excellent 

 quality. The demand is not up to ex- 

 pectations, however, except on pom- 

 pons, and they move fairly well. The 

 carnation cut is rather short, good stock 

 being really scarce. There is a sur- 

 plus of rubrum lilies. Although these 

 lilies are quite popular, the offerings 

 are entirely too large to clean up. The 

 quality of the rose offerings is con- 

 siderably improved and the demand is 

 better. Ward is coming in well now 

 and Ophelia maintains its popularity at 

 fair prices. The supply of Beauties is 

 readily absorbed. Valley is in better 

 supply, and so are orchids, but the lat- 

 ter still are far short of the demand. 

 Some good batches of smilax are ar- 

 riving. 



Horticultural Society Meeting. 



There was a large attendance at the 

 regular business session and smoker of 

 the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society, 

 held on the evening of September 2. 

 In the absence of President E. James, 

 former president H. Plath presided. 

 Applications for membership were re- 

 ceived from J. A. Alexander, of Bel- 

 vedere, and Walter Reubold, of the Cal- 

 ifornia Seed Co., of this city. A letter 

 was received from G. A. Meyer, land- 

 scape engineer, formerly of this city, 

 who recently moved to Santa Barbara. 

 For the smoker committee James Egan 

 announced that there were plenty of 

 sandwiches and Edelweis.s downstairs, 

 and that brought hearty applause. Mr, 

 Plath, reporting for the exhibition com- 

 mittee, stated that a suitable room had 

 .been secured in the Municipal Audi-
