ago and has been visiting the nurseries 

 in the bay district before leaving for 

 IjOS Angolos and other points in south- 

 ern California. He is accompanied by 

 Mrs. J)ailledouze. 



^ C. W. Ward, of tlie Cottage Gardens 

 Nurseries, Eureka and San Jose, ha? 

 been spending several days in the city. 

 Mrs. Wessell, bookkeeper for Peli- 

 cano, Rossi & Co., has been south on 

 an automobile trip, in the course of 

 which she visited her brotlier, A. J. 

 Kossi, of tlie company, who is recuper- 

 ating on a rancli near Santa Bar))ara, 



Large truck loads of asters, dalilias, 

 delphiniums and otlier flowers are being 

 received daily at the store of MacRorie 

 & McLaren, from the Lake Merced nur- 

 sery, which is devoted exclusively to 

 outdoor flowers. Thirty-five new seed- 

 ling dahlias were shown in the window 

 a few days ago. Tlie company has a 

 fine cut of giganteuni lilies and is mak- 

 ing large shipments to otiicr sections of 

 the Pacific coast, as well as supplying 

 local demands. Walter Ilofinghoff re- 

 ports considerable activity in landscape 

 work. He left the end of the week for 

 Stockton on a large ])arking job and 

 while away will visit a large estate near 

 Sacramento, Cal., wliicli he is laying out. 



John McLaren, superintendent of 

 Golden Gate ])ark, went to St. Louis, 

 Mo., to attend the park superintend- 

 ents' convention. He is accompanied

The Market. 



Heavy rains have paralyzed the out- 

 door flowers. Sweet peas were the first 

 to suffer and are now off the market. 

 Asters, which usually are at their ])est 

 at this season, are now so badly dam- 

 aged by the excessive rain that tliey are 

 practically useless. With these" two 

 standbys off the market and the green- 

 house stock not yet in, florists are some- 

 what at a loss to find enough variety to 

 suit tlie whims of tlie customers. Gla- 

 dioli are still good and, owing to the 

 absence of ]»eas and good asters, are 

 pushed to tlie limit. Lilies of all vari- 

 eties are on the market, liut first (dass 

 stock is not plentiful. Local valley and 

 orchids have not yet {)ut in an appear- 

 ance. Carnations are not of good <pial- 

 ity, and are scarce, at that. Potted 

 ferns are coming in nicely and arc some 

 relief. 



Greens are none too abundant. Green- 

 housemen state that greens are not a 

 jirofitable crop, esi)ecially smilax, which 

 is being discarded by some of the grow- 

 ers. Wild huckleberry and sword ferns 

 are used extensively and blend haniio- 

 niously with the autumn flowers. 



Various Notes. 



A. J. Hart, who has been with the 

 Acme Floral Co. during the last two 

 years, has purchased the S. L. Har])er 

 place on Pacific avenue and planted it 

 to lettuce. Mr. Hart has not severed 

 his connection with tlie Acnu> Floral Co., 

 but will oj)erate the new jdace as a side 

 interest. 



A. G. Seainons and his smi Joseph 

 liave returned from a two weeks' trip 

 east of the mountains, in Mr. Seamons' 

 car. Mr. Seamons calli^d on florists in 

 the different cities. 



J. L. Bourne, of the Bourne Flower 

 Shop, Yakima, stated that business has 

 improved fifty per cent over last year.
