E. D. Sturtevant was the lecturer be- 

 fore the Los Angeles County Horticul- 

 tural Society August 1. His subject 

 was water lilies, and during the day he 

 made an exhibit at the Chamber of 

 Commerce rooms. His lecture was lis- 

 tened to with great interest, especially 

 that part referring to the European nov- 

 elties and those from the Kew gardens 

 in England. H. R. Richards. 



SAN FKANCISCO. 



The Market. 



July on the whole was a good month — 

 comparatively. Some say it was the 

 best midsummer month they ever had, 

 and others, while not quite so sweeping 

 in their remarks, agree that it was an 

 unusually good July. The large number 

 of weddings has helped out considera- 

 bly. Funeral business has been heavy. 

 The retailers have not been counting 

 on much extra business from army 

 sources, but it begins to look now as if 

 the concentration of troops in this vi- 

 cinity might help to stimulate business. 



The stock situation remains about the 

 same, with the exception that asters 

 are more in evidence. They are coming 

 in nicely now and quantities of them 

 are being shipped to southern and mid- 

 dle western points. Shipments are being 

 made to the east also. The flowers show 

 good quality, the colors being bright 

 and clear and the stems long. All indi- 

 cations point to a splendid season. 

 Good carnations are hard to obtain and 

 the limited offerings of inferior stock 

 fail to get much attention. Fine assort- 

 ments of zinnias are arriving and clean 

 up without difficulty. Gladioli move 

 well. Striking displays of dahlias ap- 

 pear at nearly every downtown estab- 

 lishment, and hydrangeas also are to be 

 soen everywhere. The rose market 

 shows little change. Ophelia is a little 

 l»etter, but Russell and the other va- 

 lioties still show the effects of the hot 

 weather. Large orders for freesia bulbs 

 are now being shipped. 



Various Notes. 



The Dahlia Society of California at a 

 meeting July 27 completed arrange- 

 ments for the two shows to be given 

 "nder its auspices this season. The first 

 show is to be held at the Palace hotel,

FISCHER'S SPLENDENS 



X ^ A MAGNIFICENT LAVENDER FREESIA 



The only commercial colored Freesia in the world, not to be compared or 

 judged iu the same class with any other colored Freesia. It stands alone for 

 size, strength, beauty and fragrance. The flowers are very large, with long, 

 heavy stems with foliage reaching well up the stems, and are highly fragrant. 



It is a Freesia that will stand the test of time and will be grown by all 



florists when stock can be offered at commercial prices. Was awarded a Cer- 



tiflcate of Merit at the Pasadena Flower Show. 



Stock is limited; send in your orders as soon as possible. Is offered in two shades of 

 color, a bluish lavender and a reddish lavender. Only good si/.ed. flowering bulbs are 

 offered. PRICE: Per dozen, $3.50; per lOO, $20.00. 



Cash with order. Sent postpaid. July delivery.
