Various Notes. 



Preparations are complete for the 

 dahlia show in the Palace hotel, Sep- 

 tember 4 to 6. Angelo J. Rossi, of 

 Pelicano, Rossi & Co., has been a^p- 

 pointed manager and will be assisted 

 by James Radford. Mr. Rossi is en- 

 thusiastic over the prospects for a fine 

 exhibit. The flowers are in excellent 

 condition, he says, and the attendance 

 will undoubtedly surpass former records, 

 on account of the large number of vis- 

 itors who will be in the city for Fleet 

 week. Besides, local interest in the 

 event is keener this year than ever be- 

 fore, the membership of the society hav- 

 ing now reached 250 persons. The show- 

 ing of seedlings promises to be excep- 

 tionally fine. 



The annual picnic of florists and 

 growers of the San Francisco bay dis- 

 trict, given under the auspices of the 

 Pacific Coast Horticultural Society, will 

 be held September 7, at Madrone park, 

 a pretty place on the Oakland, Antioch 

 & Eastern railroad, out of Oakland. In- 

 dications point to a large attendance 

 and nothing is being left undone in 

 preparation for a general good time. 



At 461 Bush street, J. A. Axell has 

 a large ground-floor space in addition to 

 spacious quarters in the basement. 

 Though he has large quarters to start 

 with, he is already negotiating for more 

 space, his aim being to get the entire 

 floor of the building in which he is lo- 

 cated at the earliest possible date. As- 

 sociated with Mr. Axell is his brother- 

 in-law, P. B. Norton, formerly district 

 railroad passenger agent at Fresno, Cal., 

 for a good many years. The latter will 

 have charge of the office work and busi- 

 ness details, while Mr. Axell will per- 

 sonally supervise the packing and ship- 

 ping of stock. The firm has contracts 

 with seven large growers, which assures 

 flowers from about 500,000 feet of glass. 

 For instance, the entire crop of Ferrari 

 Bros, has been secured, which alone rep- 

 resents 200,000 feet of glass. The M. 

 Rice Co. line of florists' supplies will 

 be carried. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. will have a 

 fine cut of roses in about two weeks. 

 Manager Henry Avansino is enthusias- 

 tic over the outlook for a big supply of 

 first-class stock and good business this 

 fall. The company has eight more 

 houses in roses this year than last. 

 More space is devoted to Russell than 

 any other one variety, but there are 

 three houses of Columbia and a house 

 of the new rose, Premier, which is get- 

 ting a good foothold in this section. In 

 another season it is likely more space 

 will be devoted to it.
