 sembling Intermediate stocks. The spikes of bloom

called Christmas prices, the demand 

 being particularly strong for Bussell 

 and Columbia. Good carnations are 

 scarce, but they do not seem to be" 

 missed. 



Gladioli continue plentiful and good, 

 some fine stock coming from Santa 

 Oruz. Dahlias are also her^ in great 

 abundance. With zinnias and rubrum 

 and auratum lilies, the flower stores 

 make a wonderful showing. Chrysan- 

 themums were in early, but the supply 

 has not increased rapidly, so they still 

 do not cut much figure in the market. 

 A heavy cut of the large-flowering va- 

 rieties is expected to appear within the 

 next two weeks, however. 



Orchids continue scarce, and the re- 

 ceipts of lily of the valley are spas- 

 modic. Gardenias are a little more 

 plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The local shippers are bringing all 

 the pressure to bear that they can in 

 an effort to get the express company to 

 give them refrigerator service again. 

 It is pointed out that August and Sep- 

 tember are the months when it is most 

 needed. At present there is a heavy 

 movement of asters starting, but it is 

 more or less uncertain whether the ship- 

 ments will pass through the heat of the 

 Mississippi valley in first-class condi- 

 tion wittiout the use of refrigerator 

 cars. With chrysanthemums coming on, 

 the service is much needed. A petition 

 signed by all of the shippers has been 

 filed with the express company for two 

 cars a week. 



Frank X. Gorly, of Grimm & Gorly, 

 St. Louis, arrived here recently, accom- 

 panied by Mrs. Gorly. This is their 

 first visit to California. It is a pleas- 

 ure tour, but Mr. Gorly is taking ad- 

 vantage of the opportunity to visit the 

 florists' establishments en route. He 

 has been shown about the city by dif- 

 ferent members of the trade. Sunday, 

 August 1, he and Mrs. Gorly were the 

 guests of B. M, Joseph on an auto- 

 mobile trip down the valley. 



B. M. Joseph reports business about 

 the same as last summer. By the end 

 of August he expects to have a fine 

 stock of oriental pods, grown in the
