gathering to which the men "were in- 

 Tited, and they were well represented. 

 D. MacBorie, past president of the S. 

 A. F.. won the men 's prize at whist, 

 and tne ladies' prize was carried away 

 by Mrs. Hofinghoflf, mother of W. A. 

 Hofinghoff, of MacBorie & McLaren. 

 The next meeting will be held the last 

 Tuesday in October, at the home of Mr. 

 and Mrs. Bichard Lohrman, at San Ka- 

 fael. 



Bert Dennis, formerly of the Brook- 

 dale Nursery, Los Gates, and last year 

 with Doolittle's dahlia exhibit at the 

 P. P. I. E., has accepted a position at 

 the store of the E. W. MclLellan Co. 

 _ Experiments are being made in the 

 «ivic center by Superintendent John 

 McLaren of Oolden Oate park, to see if 

 he can make plants and shrubs take the 

 place of the decaying plaster fences 

 and other structures of a temporary 

 character there. 



6. W. Sanders, prominent nursery- 

 man and banker of Davis, Gal., passed 

 away at a San Francisco hospital a few 

 days ago, after an illness since the first 

 •f the year. 



Besides giving his personal attention 

 to the business of Pelicano, Bossi & Co., 

 Angelo J. Bossi takes a prominent part 

 m civic affairs. He has been appointed 

 •hief of staff for the illuminated parade 

 to take place during the "Path of 

 Gold" celebration next week. 



The "Path of Gold" committee has 

 decided, instead of decorating Market 

 street with dahlias, to build a big pyra- 

 mid of them in the Civic Auditorium, 

 «sing about 40,000 blooms, to be con- 

 tributed by the California Dahlia Grow- 

 ers' Association. 



C. C. Morse & Co., of this city, who 

 maintain a large seed farm in the San 

 Juan valley,. San Benito county, have 

 purchased 200 acres more land in the 

 «ounty, for seed cultivation. Negotia- 

 tions between the parties have been sat- 

 iflfactorily concluded and the actuel 

 transfer of the title will take place in 

 a few days. The price is $250 per acre, 

 •r $50,000 for the 200-acre tract. 



J. A. Carbone, orchid grower of Berk- 

 eley, recently called upon the city coun- 

 cil for protection, alleging that gases 

 emanating from an old warehouse on 

 the waterfront had partially destroyed 

 ■everal of his plants. Investigation re- 

 Tealed the fact that the fumes, which 

 threatened to destroy Mr. Carbone 's or- 

 ehids, came from a factory just in- 



[Oontlnned on page 96.]

The Market. 



Indian summer weather prevailed last 

 week. Growers of bedding stock never 

 had a better opportunity to take out- 

 door cuttings. Business was good 

 along all lines at the stores. A heavy 

 cut of roses, Ophelia leading, was near- 

 ly all taken by local customers. All 

 the roses were of prime quality except 

 White Killamey, which showed the ef- 

 fect of the warm weather. 



Orchids and valley were scarce and 

 the supply of valley pips for future use 

 is far below normal, with the outlook 

 for a still shorter supply. Golden Glow, 

 Early Frost and Smith's Advance 

 mums were cut in quantities sufficient 

 to meet all demands. Violets have ap- 

 peared and are quite a feature in the 

 market. There were no large social 

 •vents that took flowers in quantity. 



Jut a steady run of moderate calls kept 

 he market well cleaned up. 



<\ Now is the best time to start to sow the 



WINTER ORCHID-FLOWERING SWEET PEAS 



to follow the Chrysanthemum crop. No other flower will pay better. You will 

 have fine flowers from January until late in spring. All progressive florists 

 have abandoned growing the late Spencer and are making now four times as 

 much money with this early-flowering type, not only for inside but for out- 

 side planting. If sown in October and November they will bloom two to three 

 months earlier; if sown outdoors they will bloom three to four weeks earlier 

 than the late Spencers, producing more and better flowers and keeping the buds 

 during the most rainy weather. We have a limited quantity of the following 

 varieties to offer at reduced prices: 



PINK AND WHITE ORCHID, WHITE ORCHID, MRS. A. A. 

 SKACH, ORCHID BEAUTY, rose; LAVENDER ORCHID, lavender 

 piuk; MISS FL. FARING, Yarrawa Color. This lot will contain about two 

 to five per cent of the late hybrids of the same color and for late planting they 

 are of more value than the re-selected varieties of the same names. 



Price: 1 oz., 60c; 4 ozs., $1.50; 1 lb., $5.00; 10 lbs., $46.00 



FLORISTS* WINTER ORCHID- FLOWERING MIXTURE. 



This mixture consists of all the leading commercial varieties of pink, rose, white 

 and lavender, with a very few red and blue. 



Price, $4.00 per pound. 



GOLD MEDAL MIXTURE. 



This is made up of about fifty distinct varieties, evenly balanced to each 

 color. It contains almost every variety in commerce, including this year's and 

 next year's novelties, all of the Winter Orchid type only. Last year we sold over 

 90,0<i0 packets to private gardeners and retail florists. In semi-tropical coun- 

 tries they have been blooming all winter. In cooler climate, if sown early in 

 spring they bloom in May, three to four weeks earlier. Florists who keep 

 a seed counter should have this steadily on hand, ready for their customers. 

 Sold only in one size packets. Each packet contains sufficient seed to plant 

 30 to 40 feet of row. 



Prices: 1 pkt., 25c; 100 pkts., $12.00; 1000 pkts., $100.00. 



Order now all you need for your winter or outdoor planting, as this lim- 

 ited quantity may not last long.
