hot weather wljich prevailed during the 

 three days of the show was held respon- 

 sible for any lack of interest. The heat 

 made it hard on the exibitors, also, as 

 they were forced to give their exhibits 

 constant attention to keep them in first- 

 class condition. They succeeded ad- 

 mirably, however. More than 2,000 va- 

 rieties of dahlias were shown, and more 

 than 105,000 blooms. The new Cali- 

 fornia creations, of which there were 

 many, attracted principal attention. 



A number of live butterflies at the 

 exhibit of C. S. Quick made that dis- 

 play a center of attraction. In another 

 part of the show was a fine bloom of 

 Campanille, a novelty originated by Mr. 

 Quick and grown by R. V. Killilea, 

 which was awarded first prize for the 

 best bloom in the show. It is a hand- 

 some, large red and gold dahlia with 

 a fine stem. 



Frank Pelicano again was awarded 

 first prize for the most meritorious dis- 

 play. Besides, he took three first 

 prizes on his special dahlia, Dr. Tevis, 

 for a basket of twenty-five blooms, a 

 vase of six blooms and a single bloom. 



Richard Lohrman had a notable dis- 

 play, in which his Pride of California 

 attracted much attention. He was 

 awarded first prize for the best 1917 

 seedling, on a dark salmon dahlia. 



F. C. Burns' contest for a name for 

 his new red dahlia, which won prizes 

 last year and the year before, was the 

 feature of his exhibit. Hundreds of 

 names were suggested. 



Mrs. Jessie L. Seal, who carried away 

 a number of first prizes, had one of the 

 largest and finest exhibits in the show. 

 One of the most notable features was

 distance, could easily be mistaken for 

 a picture. It was given first prize in 

 the special awards. A floral piece form-

The Market. 



The market is still cramped for stock. 

 Every day it seems that an item drops 

 from the market, with nothing new to 

 take its place. A few greenhouse asters 

 are making their appearance, but they 

 are not plentiful enough for the demand. 

 Gladioli, which have been a feature, are
