Otherwise business was quiet, although 

 only seasonably slack. The market af- 

 fords a wonderful variety of outdoor 

 flowers at this time of the year. Zin- 

 nias head the list at present, both as re- 

 gards quantity and quality. Some of 

 the florists are inclined to think the 

 asking price for this flower a little too 

 high, but even so a great many of them 

 find an outlet. Gladioli maintain their 

 popularity well. Dahlias are becom- 

 ing plentiful, the best sellers being 

 Delice, Minnie Burgle and Mrs. Kettel- 

 well. The flowers are particularly fine 

 this year. Delice shows wonderful 

 color. Minnie Burgle is being used 

 extensively for striking display work, 

 its large, red flowers and long stems 

 making it especially desirable for the 

 purpose. Quite a number of double 

 scabiosas are still coming in, and gail- 

 lardias are plentiful. Hydrangeas are 

 showing up well and tlie demand is all 

 that could be desired. 



There are enough roses for nearly all 

 requirements, but more really select 

 stock could be utilized to good advan- 

 tage. Good American Beauties, Kus- 

 sell and Ophelia are scarce. There are 

 few orchids to be had; in fact, orchids 

 have been on the short side of tlie mar- 

 ket most of the time since last fall. 

 Gardenias fill the gap to a certain ex- 

 tent. A few asters are arriving, but 

 it will be about two weeks before the 

 offerings are hard enough to sliip. Car- 

 nations are not up to the standard, and 

 sweet j)cas are deteriorating in quality. 

 Auratum lilies are fine and rubrums are 

 becoming more plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



There was a fair attendance .at the 

 monthly meeting of the Pacific Coast 

 Horticultural Society, particularly in 

 view of the fact that now is the height 

 of the vacation season. In the absence 

 of President M. Poss, H. Plath presided. 

 The picnic committee reported every- 

 thing in readiness for the annual out- 

 ing, which will be held August 12. A 

 resolution was adopted asking the re- 

 tailers to close up their stores on that 

 day, in order that both employees and 

 firm members could participate in the 

 outing. The 1918 flower show commit- 

 tee reported progress in its plans. It 

 was decided to hold a smoker at the
