TAKE A LOOK 



at this picture and see whether you would not like upon 

 your premises a duplicate of it. It is a picture of a bench 

 of our famous Silver Pink Snapdragon SEEDLINGS at 

 Memorial. Seed sown any time now will bloom before 

 Memorial day, but a second crop, such as seen in the 

 accompanying picture, will come on for May 30, the 

 greatest flower day of the year.

SAN FBANCISCO NOTES. 



[Continued from page 74.] 



Shibuya & Ishida Btill are bringing in 

 a fine cut of zinnias, for which, they 

 say, the demand is excellent. They are 

 also cutting many chrysanthemums, in- 

 eluding quantities of good Crocus, Mon- 

 rovia and Unaka. 



J. Chas. McCulIough, president of the 

 McCullough Seed Co., of Cincinnati, ar- 

 rived in San Francisco a few days ago, 

 accompanied by his son, H. F. McCul- 

 lough, who is growing seed beans on 

 600 acres near Santa Barbara, Cal. It 

 is understood Mr, McCullough is buy- 

 ing quantities of products in the Santa 

 Clara valley. He states that the con- 

 tract prices for these products have re- 

 mained practically normal and little 

 affected by the war. 



Plans are being made for the third 

 annual chrysanthemum fair, to be held 

 at Exeter, Cal., in November. It will 

 be given this year under the joint man- 

 agement of the Exeter Women's Club, 

 the Merchants' Association and the 

 Board of Trade. Committees are al- 

 ready being formed to take charge of 

 the event, with a view to making it 

 more elaborate than in former years. 



The opening day of the annual dis- 

 trict fair, to be given at Fresno, Cal., 

 next week, will be called "Floral Fes- 

 tival ' ' day, marking the opening of the 

 flower show and other exhibits. 



Avansino Bros, have been delayed to 

 a certain extent in getting started in 

 business in their new location on Geary 

 street, owing to the fact that it has 

 taken the contractors longer to fit up 

 the premises than was expected. How- 

 ever, they hope to be ready for business 

 before-the end of the month. The store 

 is being nicely fitted up throughout 

 and the location looks promising, so 

 the new firm, the members of which 

 have had wide experience and are well 

 known in the trade, should meet with 

 success from the beginning. 



C. W. Ward, president of the Cottage 

 Gardens Nurseries, of Eureka, Cal., was 

 in San Francisco a few days ago. In 

 accordance with a resolution adopted 

 by the directors of the Eureka corpo- 

 ration in July, a special meeting of the 

 stockholders has been called to vote 

 on the proposition of increasing the
