pers. The shipments are to all parts 

 of the country. 



According to J. A. Axell, manager 

 for the E. W, McLellan Co., this is 

 the best October the company ever had. 

 AH roses are in good crop and quanti- 

 ties of chrysanthemums and violets are 

 being sent out. 



John Morley, of San Diego, Cal., 

 called on friends in the local trade last 

 week. George F. Otto, of the same 

 city, also was a visitor. 



M. H. Ebel, who is a frequent visitor, 

 came down from Sacramento a few 

 days ago. 



John Riley, a pioneer of San Jose, 

 Cal., and for many years a landscape 

 gardener for the municipality, died 

 October 25, after a long illness. He 

 was 80 years old. Much of San Jose's 

 reputation as a "garden city" is due 

 to Mr. Eiley's efforts in laying out 

 public parks and gardens. 



Mrs. H. H. Moke was chosen to di- 

 rect the annual chrysanthemum and 

 dahlia show at Santa Rosa, Cal., which 

 was held November 2 and 3 under the 

 auspices of the Women's Improvement 

 Club. 



The first bulletin of the California 

 Dahlia Growers' Association will be 

 out within- a few days. It will contain 

 a full report of the show given at the 

 Palace hotel this fall, reports of offi- 

 cers, etc.; also a talk on the registra- 

 tion of dahlias. The plan of the asso- 

 ciation is to issue a bulletin every 

 month or two and to have it replete 

 with valuable information. 



There is a movement on to consoli- 

 date the two dahlia associations, which 

 were organized about the same time 

 this summer; one known as the Cali- 

 fornia Dahlia Growers' Association and 

 the other as the California Dahlia So- 

 ciety. Committees are now working 

 toward that end. 



Pelicano, Rossi & Co. shipped a large 

 basket of dahlias to a hotel at Los 

 Angeles a few days ago, which was 

 quite an unusual undertaking consid- 

 ering the size, as it took a crate seven 

 feet square to ship it in. 



Elaborate preparations are being 

 made at Roseville, Cal., for the annual 

 chrysanthemum show to be given No- 

 vember 11 under the direction of the 

 Women's Improvement Club. Mrs. 

 J. J. Cox is the general chairman. 



Miss Rothschild, of the Bellevue 

 flower store, which she operates in part- 

 nership with Miss Bertha Cohn, reports 

 a large demand for baby cradles and 

 other fancy baskets, with general busi- 

 ness about up to expectations. 



Gloom pervaded the workroom of 

 B. M. Joseph's store last week, the 

 cause being the disappearance of Joe 

 Bush, the mascot cat. Joe was an in- 

 telligent cat. Each of the force had 

 taught him some trick and he furnished 

 much amusement for the entire staff. 



At attempt was made by burglars a 

 few nights ago .to affect an entrance 

 to the Miller Seed Co. store at Oak- 

 land. Two men were taken in custody 

 and charged with the crime. S. H. G.

All records for fall droughts have 

 been broken, with a wide margin to 

 spare. Forty-eight days have passed 

 without a measurable quantity of rain- 

 fall and a deficiency of nearly five 

 inches since September 1 has resulted.

The nurserymen are the ones most in- 

 convenienced, as the ground is too dry 

 to lift stock and the concerns are un- 

 able to fill orders from districts where 

 the ground freezes early. The nursery- 

 men will have to hold the stock for 

 spring shipment. 



The flower stores are doing all the 

 business they have stock for. Little 

 surplus is being shipped. California-

 taken flowers in quantities and the call

The cut of carnations is increasing
