Sow them now for mid winter and early 

 Spring blooming. Seed saved from an un- 

 excelled collection of pot grown plants, remark- 

 able for their compact habit and enormous size 

 of blooms; the latter often attain a diameter of 

 four inches and over. 



We have been selecting the finest plants for seed 

 bearers for many years and the seed has been carefully 

 hand picked, is strong in germinating qualities, and 

 contains a wide range of colors, running from purest 

 white to darkest crimson, including all the intermediate shades of blue, lavender, pink, scarlet, etc. 



Azaleas and similar plants will be scarce during the coming Winter. A batch of these plants will find

graduation exercises provided a strong 

 stimulus to the trade during the last 

 week. A number of fine specimens of 

 blue and white potted Canterbury bells 

 provided an effective window display 

 in this shop, and several beautifully ar- 

 ranged baskets formed the basis of an 

 artistic display of Irish Elegance buds, 

 which were in remarkably good condi- 

 tion in comparison with other varieties 

 of roses. 



Weddings and other social affairs keep 

 the staff of Avansino Bros, busy, and 

 Mr, Avansino states that he has no com- 

 plaints to offer regarding business. Joe 

 Cavagnaro, one of the drivers for this 

 store, has decided to start a business of 

 his own and has purchased a ranch at 

 Watsonville, Cal., where he will try a 

 little growing of a different sort. 



Vincent Matraia, of the Art Floral 

 Co., has been working on several wed- 

 dings since June 1. One decorative 

 scheme, which Mr. Matraia said worked 

 out effectively, was composed of nu- 

 merous baskets of roses combined with 

 delphiniums, these two being the only 

 flowers used. 



F. C. Jaeger, Jr.„ of F. C. Jaeger & 

 Son, says that their shop is cleaning up 

 well on gladioli and summer flowers. On 

 account of the poor condition of the 

 roses, the call for them has been rather 

 small, but most of the cut flowers are 

 going well for this season of the year. 

 Mr. Jaeger said that June brought a 

 rush of wedding orders and they show 

 little indication of decreasing so far. 



Business has slackened up at the store 

 of the Hallowell Seed Co., as at the other 

 seed establishments. The bedding sea- 

 son is about over and the chief call at
