SAN FRANCISCO NOTES. 



[Continued from page 98.] 



F. J. Bertrand, Tom Taylor, A. Nevra- 

 mont, Mr. Boche and K. Lohrmann. An 

 application for membership in the so- 

 ciety from Carl Biedenbach, superin- 

 tendent of Mills College grounds, was 

 favorably acted upon. 



For the flower show committee, Mr. 

 Plath reported all bills settled and all 

 prizes paid. The committee was given 

 a vote of thanks. It' was decided to 

 have a smoker at the next meeting. 

 Several Suggestions were made, mostly 

 by Secretary Hofinghoff, for stimulat- 

 ing interest in the regular meetings and 

 making the organization more effective 

 in other ways. Along this line it was 

 voted to create a reception committee 

 of three to see that new members are 

 made acquainted and are properly re- 

 ceived. It was also voted to have a 

 lecture committee of six, each pledged 

 to secure two lectures during the year. 

 A committee was appointed for the 

 stimulation of attendance, to report at 

 the next meeting. The only exhibit of 

 the evening was awarded ninety-eight 

 points for its exceptional merit. It was 

 a new brasso-cattleya, named Queen of 

 California, said to be the first seedling 

 orchid grown in the state. The plant 

 is 9 years old and this is the first 

 time it has bloomed. The exhibit was 

 made by J. A. Carbone, and he was 

 given a vote of thanks for displaying 

 the plant. As a field day it was de- 

 cided to visit E. James' place next 

 Sunday. 



Various Notes. 



John Gill, of the Gill Nursery Co., 

 Berkeley, says he is shipping more rose 

 plants than ever before; all to distant 

 points, there being little demand in this 

 immediate vicinity. He has one of the 

 new greenhouses about finished and will 

 use it for pot stock, with the intention 

 of branching out in that direction. 

 Heretofore he has not gone heavily into 

 that line. 



H. Plath is installing a new boiler at 

 his place, "The Ferneries." 



On Tuesday of last week Mrs. Mac- 

 Rorie entertained the ladies' auxiliary 

 of the Pacific Coast Horticultural So- 

 ciety at the Ladies' Club, Burlingame. 

 There was a large attendance and the 

 affair was most enjoyable. John Gill 

 won the men 's prize at whist, which 

 was a box of cigars. Miss Hofinghoff 

 won the ladies' prize. 



W. A. Mabee, secretary for Geo. C. 

 Roeding, of the Fancher Creek Nursery, 

 Fresno, Cal., was in town a few days 

 ago. 



The Garden City Pottery Co., of 

 which D. Raymond is manager, now is 

 handling a full line of jardinieres and 

 cut flower vases. 



Tom Fenton, vice-president of the 

 Pacific Coast Horticultural Society, has 

 been in the hospital on account of trou- 

 ble with his feet. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. is holding 

 back its roses for a large cut in a 

 couple of weeks. 



The Growers ' Cut Flower Co. still has 

 a good cut of pompons and reports a 

 strong market. This company made a 

 large planting of ranunculi and anem- 

 ones and will begin to cut early in 

 the year. It also has a lot of new va- 

 riety Spencer sweet peas, indoor-grown, 

 which it will begin to cut for 

 Christmas. 



J. P. Parker, of Santa Cruz, Cal., has 

 been sending in some orchids that have 



helped to relieve the shortage a little. 



MacRorie & McLaren report a good 

 season in Dutch bulbs; the large ship- 

 ment they received from Holland has 

 been sold out. This company has a fine 

 lot of begonia, cyclamen and poinsettia 

 plants coming on for Christmas. 



Messrs. Matria and Eppstein, of the 

 Art Floral Co., say they had all the 

 Thanksgiving business they could han- 

 dle comfortably. They are looking for- 

 ward to a banner Christmas trade. 



Nice American Beauty roses now are 

 coming in from the Hillsborough Nurs- 

 ery Co, 



John Kelly, formerly gardener for 

 the late Governor Leland Stanford, a 

 unique character of early days in Cali- 

 fornia, passed away at Sacramento De- 

 cember 1, at the age of 90 years. He 

 left an estate valued at $250,000. For 

 the last four years Mr. Kelly, adjudged 

 incompetent, was under the guardian- 

 ship of D. H. Miller. He had no known 

 relatives, but it is expected that a legal 

 contest over the estate will ensue on 

 account of various claims of relation- 

 ship. 



A. Traversaro, who has been with 

 Pelicano, Rossi & Co. for about eleven 

 years, has accepted a position with 

 H. A. Hyde, prominent nurseryman and 

 florist of Watsonville, Cal., and will 

 leave to take up his new duties as man- 

 ager of Mr. Hyde's retail store Janu- 

 ary 1. S. H. G. 



SPIDER WEBS IN GREENHOUSE. 



Our rose house frequently is a net- 

 work of spider webs. We cannot un- 

 derstand this, as there are no spiders 

 in sight and so far no damage has been 

 done. We fear that the spiders may 

 cause trouble and want your advice as 

 to what should be done. It is likely 

 that these webs are spun by harmless 

 spiders, but if the insects are injurious, 

 how should they be gotten rid of? To- 

 bacco fumigation has had no effect on 

 them. Light fumes of cyanide have 

 been used as a precaution against in- 

 sect pests, but the webs still appear. 



G. F. C— Kan. 



So far as I can learn from your let- 

 ter, the spiders have done no harm 

 whatever to your roses. Spiders often 

 are helpful and rarely harmful to plant 

 life. Cyanide fumigation would un- 

 questionably destroy all injurious in- 

 sects and I do not believe that even 

 spiders are immune from its deadly 

 fumes. If you find any signs of dam- 

 age done by these insects, write again 

 and send one of the malefactors, if you 

 catch it. In the meantime, I do not 

 think you have any cause for worry.

Springfield, 111. — Wednesday, Novem- 

 ber 24, marked the opening of Spring- 

 field's new flower store. The new es- 

 tablishment is that of the Springfield 

 Floral Co. and is located in the new 

 Broadwell building, on one of the city's 

 busiest corners, Fifth and Washington 

 streets. The store interior presents a 

 handsome appearance, having been 

 finished in mahogany and the walls in 

 delft blue. John Bryant is manager of 

 the store. Mr. Bryant is well and fa- 

 vorably known to the trade, having had 

 thirteen years' experience in some of 

 the best places of the central west and 

 south. Mr. Bryant resigned his position 

 as manager and artist for A. C. Brown, 

 of this city, to assume the management 

 of the new place.
