says business has been a little better 

 since the draft. A. A. Cuneo is re- 

 ceiving congratulations on the arrival 

 of a baby girl. 



The Misses Hannon report business 

 good since the middle of July, which 

 makes only two really quiet weeks this 

 summer. There was much funeral work 

 last week. The firm is starting its sec- 

 ond year in the downtown location and 

 the members are well satisfied with the 

 results thus far, as the list of regular 

 customers is gradually increasing. 



Henry Avansino, of Avansino Bros., 

 says he could sell three times as many 

 orchids as they can get. 



F. C. Jaeger, of F. C. Jaeger & Son, 

 reports a strong demand for straw flow- 

 ers. He has been shipping many east. 



Walter Hofinghoff, of MacKorie & 

 McLaren, is spending a vacation on his 

 ranch in Sonoma county. This firm, 

 under the supervision of P. H. Graves, 

 has completed landscaping an extensive 

 city garden. At the MacEorie & Mc- 

 Laren nurseries at San Mateo several 

 thousand Nephrolepis Norwood plants 

 have been received from the east. 



P. V. Matraia, head of the Art Floral 

 Co., has been busy taking stock. He 

 reports business good for the season, 

 funeral work being especially heavy. 



G. C. Eoeding, president of the 

 Fancher Creek Nurseries, Fresno, Cal., 

 was a recent visitor in this city.

METHODS OF PROPAGATION. 



[This is the fifth installment of extracts from 

 a paper road by T. D. Hatfield, of Wellesley, 

 Mass., at a meeting of tlie Massaeliiisetts Hor- 

 ticultural Society. The sixth will appear In an 

 early issue.] 



Grapevines are nearly always raised 

 from cuttings or layers. The youngest 

 plant, being a part of the parent, is just 

 as old. It has been on its own roots 

 all the time. Varieties on their own 

 roots show no constitutional variation. 

 The Black Hamburg grape is the same 

 the world over, now as ever. 



It is not so with grafted plants. There 

 are variations even in the Baldwin ap- 

 ple. Go to our fruit shows and it will 

 be hard to find two dishes of Baldwin 

 apples that look alike. The fact is, the 

 Baldwin apple has sported, and to stand- 

 ardize that or any particular sport it 

 will have to be fixed and the best way 

 to do that is to get it on its own roots. 

 Propagators will use the best form or 

 variety for grafting and still get sports. 

 No reliance can be placed on any as 

 long as mixed seedling apple stocks are 

 used. Something has been done by root 

 grafting to get apples on their own 

 roots. It does not appear, however, 

 that this was what the operators had in 

 view, but rather economy in operation. 

 It is a cheap and easy way, but there is
