 eastern wholesalers. These evidently 

 are meeting with favor, as she has 

 standing orders on file from several con- 

 cerns. One large fern in particular, 

 which shows remarkable keeping quali-

 cures this stock mostly from Humboldt

 substantial increase in business since 

 moving from the old location about 

 three blocks up the street.

 completed arrangements with the Palace 

 hotel for next year's dahlia show, which 

 will be held September 4 to 6. Double 

 the space utilized for the- show this 

 year has been secured, and plans are 

 already well under way for making the 

 1917 show the most comprehensive 

 event of the kind ever held in this sec- 

 tion. The next bulletin of the asso- 

 ciation will be ready in about three
