flower show committee, H. Plath gave 

 a satisfactory report of the dahlia show 

 held last week in the Civic Auditorium. 

 Mr. Plath also reported for the P. P. 

 I. E. prize committee, saying that he 

 had been informed that the distribution 

 of prizes had got as far as "Agric," 

 and would reach "Hort." soon. Wal- 

 ter Keubold and J. A. Alexander were 

 admitted to membership, their applica- 

 tions having been presented at a previ- 

 ous meeting. John Auga and John 

 Hart, of Burlingame, and A. Van Vliet, 

 of San Francisco, applied for member- 

 ship and were elected. A letter was 

 read from Frank G. Cuthbertson," of C. 

 C. Morse & Co., regarding the spring 

 flower show and offering a prize for 

 that event. The communication was re- 

 ferred to the flower show committee. 



Upon completion of routine business. 

 Professor Stevens gave a stereopticon 

 lecture on "Landscape Gardening in 

 California," which was well received. 

 Much interest was shown in the even- 

 ing's exhibits, which were few in num- 

 ber but rather out of the ordinary. J. 

 A. Carbone showed a number of orchid 

 plants, including new hybrid varieties 

 from England— Odontioda Brewii and 

 Odontioda Madeline — which took nine- 

 ty-five points. A small spray of bou- 

 gainvilleas, exhibited by Mr. Asmus, 

 was awarded ninety-five points. Rich- 

 ard Diener showed a collection of hy- 

 brid petunia blooms, which were re- 

 markably large and took seventy-five 

 Eoints. An exhibit of dahlia seedlings 

 y F. C. Burns was awarded ninety 

 points. 



Various Notes. 



The Gill Nursery Co. has purchased 

 five large greenhouses from the John 

 Spring estate at Berkeley, and is mov- 

 ing the material to the Gill place in 

 West Berkeley. It includes a large stock 

 of flower pots, etc., as well as first- 

 class houses. John Gill says they have 

 as yet not decided whether to keep all 

 the equipment for their own use.

The Market. 



A heavy cut of locally grown roses 

 and large importations of mums from 

 California prevented what would other- 

 wise have been an acute shortage of 

 stock last week. The early frost was 

 general throughout the Pacific north- 

 west, killing nearly everything in the 

 way of outdoor blooms. Florists in in- 

 terior towns were caught short and 

 sent urgent appesils for supplies. But 

 little help could be given them, as the 

 supply was hardly more than sufficient 

 to meet the local demand. There were 

 no carnations to spare and not enough 

 mums to go around. Funeral work was 

 brisk and counter trade showed im- 

 provement. 



The reopening of the Multnomah ho- 

 tel was the occasion for a considerable 

 flower display October 10. Indian sum- 

 mer weather still prevailed and the 

 weather bureau's record for a fall dry 



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 sind 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 

 pink; 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„ $1.60; 1 lb., $5.00; 10 lbs., $45.00 



FLORISTS* WINTER ORCHID- FLOWERING MIStTURE. 



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 

 90,000 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.
