SAN FBANOISOO NOTES. 



[Continued from page 72.] 



were the guests of D. Eaymond, Sunday, 

 September 10, at the plant of the Gar- 

 den City Pottery Co., at San Jose. It 

 was field day for the Pacific Coast Hor- 

 ticultural Society and many members of 

 the organization* made the trip together 

 by train, while others went down in 

 automobiles. The visitors were first 

 taken on a tour of the plant by Mr. 

 Raymond. He showed them the old- 

 time way of making pots by hand and 

 then the modern methods. The lightness 

 and airiness of the plant, as well as its 

 cleanliness, were generally remarked. 

 The company makes a large line of 

 stoneware as well as flower pots. Spe- 

 cial attention was called to the new 

 machinery for making small pots. At 

 1:30 a delightful luncheon was served 

 around a large table in the plant, the 

 collation consisting of chicken, ice 

 cream and other good things, Mr. Eay- 

 mond having fulfilled his promise to the 

 letter that there would be plenty to 

 eat and to drink for all. 



J. A. Axell, P. Ferrari and A. Car- 

 bone, after participating in t^e festivi- 

 ties at the pottery plant at San Jose, 

 visited Dr. Parker's orchid establish- 

 ment at Santa Cruz, where some fine 

 specimens are to be seen. They made 

 the trip in Mr. Ferrari's big touring 

 car. 



T. F. Burns, president of the Cali- 

 fornia Dahlia Growers ' Association, re- 

 ports that the dahlia show gi'^gn by the 

 association last week was successful far 

 above expectations, the returns amount- 

 ing to more than enough to cover the 

 expenses. At the close o| the show the 

 association presented fee J'alace hotel 

 and each of the newspapers with a big 

 basket of dahlias; also the Pacific Glass 

 Works, which furnished the bottles. For 

 these they received due thanks, and a 

 nice note from the hotel management 

 expressing great satisfaction with the 

 show. The public is not to be per- 

 mitted to forget the dahlia either, now 

 that the exhibition is over. Mr. Burns, 

 on behalf of the association, has offered 

 to furnish 400,000 dahlia blooms to be 

 placed along Market street during the 

 "Path of Gold" celebration to be held 

 October 4 and 5. The offer was imme- 

 ditely accepted by the carnival com- 

 mittee. Among those who will assist 

 in the distribution of the blooms will 

 be Angelo J. Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi 

 & Co.; Donald McLaren, of MacRorie & 

 McLaren; V. L. Podesta, of Podesta & 

 Baldocchi; B. M. Joseph. 



Interest in the dahlia is still further 

 enhanced by the advertising of the 

 show to be given at the Exposition 

 Auditorium October 3 and 4, under the 

 auspices of the Pacific Coast Horticul- 

 tural Society and the California State 

 Floral Society. The show will be man- 

 aged by H. Plath. 



The State Corporation Commission 

 has authorized the Harris Seed Co., of 

 San Diego, to issue five shares of stock 

 in exchange for $250 in cash and nur- 

 sery stock of the market value of $250.
