at the wliolesale houses from day to 

 day. So far the number of weddings 

 is j;:reatly in excess of those of last 

 July and many orders have been booked 

 for the remainder of the month. The 

 feature of last week's business was fu- 

 neral work, however. 



There has been little change in the 

 stock situation since the last report. 

 More first-class roses could be used, al- 

 thoufih the average quality is well up to 

 exjicetations, considering "the season of 

 tlic year. American Beauties are almost 

 unobtainable, either good or bad. Other 

 varieties of roses show the effects of 

 the hot weather. Ulrich Brunner seems 

 to be holding its own comparativelv 

 wcll; also Eussell. Carnations have im- 

 rroved in quality, but there is little 

 demand for them. The first crop of gla- 

 dioli will soon be over. They are fea- 

 tured extensively and quantities of 

 them find an outlet. Their principal 

 rival is giant zinnias, which meet witli 

 ffroat popularity. The flowers are splen- 

 did this year; some of the florists claim 

 they are the best ever seen here. 



The cut of dahlias is increasing daily. 

 Orchids are scarce and valley also is on 

 tlic short side of the market. A limited 

 quantity of indoor chrysanthemums 

 cleans up without much difficulty, 

 tliongh it cannot be said they are great- 

 ly sought after. Lilium auratum has a 

 strong demand and a nice cut of 

 I'librum lilies is expected in a week or 

 ten days. A few celosias are arriving, 

 'Jilt the color of the flowers as vet is 

 "'Jt good. 



Various Notes. 



, At the monthlv meeting of the Cali- 

 l<^inia Floral Society, July 13, E. P. 

 K'^ed delivered an interesting lecture

 i oods. ■ ' The lecture was followed by a 

 {.';'neral discussion of horticultural 

 l"iases of food conservation. 



Phe Misses Hannon have taken a cot- 

 I'ge on the Russian river, near Healds- 

 ''"■g, in Sonoma county, for six weeks. 

 ■1 'firing that time they will take turns
