SAN FBANOISOO NOTES. 



rCoDtlnued from paKe 70.1 



iSeptember ■was a good iiionth with Al- 

 Itcrt O. Stein, especially in large deco- 

 lations. Several important q^'airs are 

 lined up for next month. The Dinkel 

 .sjiiel-Sfhwabacher wedding is to be one 

 of the most elaborate decorations ever 

 carried out by the Stein staff, and that 

 is saying a great deal. 



Trophies to be awarded at tlie dahlia 

 show to be given at the St. Francis ho- 

 tel under the auspices of the Dahlia So- 

 ciety of ('alifornia, have been on dis- 

 play at Tarious downtown flower stores. 

 Arrangements have been completed for 

 the hIiow, which })romisos to be the 

 best ever lield, unless the liot Aveatli- 

 er damasjes the blooms more than is an- 

 ticipated. Nearly 500 exhibitors have 

 taken space. 



In a special notice sent out to the 

 railroads of California, Horticultural 

 Commissioner G. H. Hecke calls atten- 

 tion to the provisions of revised horti- 

 cultural statutes, requiring shippers of 

 nursery stock from any county or lo- 

 cality in the state to supply the state 

 commissioner with copies of all mani- 

 fests. Upon arrival of such shipments 

 at points of destination, the railroad 

 agent is required to notify the county 

 horticultural commissioner or nearest 

 inspector of such arrival. In this way 

 it is hoped to check the spread of dis- 

 ease among trees, shrubl^ery plants and 

 other such products, attributable to the 

 failure of proper inspection. 



The Bertrand-Johansen Seed Co. has 

 incorporated in this city to conduct a 

 general nurserv and seed business. The 

 capitalization is $50,000. The directors 

 are August A. Bertrand and Joseph S. 

 Bertrand, both of San Francisco, and 

 John R. Johansen, of Sausalito, Cal.

Lancaster county florists are sliowing 

 much interest in the proposed trip to the 

 Vincent dahlia show, to be held at 

 White Marsh, Md., in the near future. 



At the Lancaster county fair last 

 week, Adam Felsinger's dahlias were 

 the talk of crowds. Mr. Felsinger hatl 

 specimen flowers of seventy-five varie- 

 ties, and was kept busy taking orders 

 for the tubers, which will be delivered 

 next spring. David Rose took a num- 

 ber of prizc.«. A. F. Strickler was a 

 prize-winner with flue dahlias and other 

 soa.sonable outdoor flowers. B. F. Barr 

 k Co. had a fine outdoor disjilay of 

 conifers and nursery stock in an artis- 

 tically arranged garden, in charge of 

 II. G. Haverstick, the new manager of 

 the nursery of B. F. Barr & Co. 



Harry A. Schroyer will officiate as 

 judge of the flower section of the county 

 fair at York, I'a., next week. 



The Lancaster County Florists' Club 

 is proud that one of its active members 

 is in training for the trip to Berlin, the 

 man being P. K. Murphy, formerly with 

 B. F. Barr & Co. Mr. Murphy' is at 

 Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga. He re- 

 ports the military life is simply great.

 Golden Glow and Smith's Advance
