 probably be two cars weekly at the start. These will run via Ogden, Cheyenne, Omaha and Chicago.

Various Notes. 



Much significance is attached by 

 growers and jobbers to the refrigera- 

 tor car service, which began September 

 1. A number of chrysanthemums are 

 undoubtedly being shipped by the first 

 car, but J. A. Axell, who was largely in- 

 strumental in causing the service to be 

 reestablished, expresses regret that the 

 mums are not in their full glory as the 

 first car leaves. Undoubtedly the sec- 

 ond car will see a great gain in the 

 magnitude of the chrysanthemum ship- 

 ments. 



The big dahlia show of the year is to 

 be held at the Palace hotel, September 

 2 to 4. It is being given by the Dahlia 

 Association of California, the well- 

 known organization of which the presi- 

 dent is James Davis; the treasurer, 

 Frank D. Pelicano, and the secretary, 

 Frank Burn. The firm of Pelicano, 

 Rossi & Co. will make a large display 

 and an excellent exhibition is antici- 

 pated. 



Announcement has just been made 

 of a wedding which will take place at 

 the church of St. Vincent De Paul, in 

 this city, between Michael Rossi and 

 Miss Traversaro. The bridegroom-elect, 

 familiarly known in florists' circles as 

 Mike Rossi, is the son of N. Rossi, of 

 the firm of G. Rossi & Co., of Oakland, 

 Berkeley, Fresno and Reno, Nev. The 

 bride is a San Francisco girl, of a well- 

 known family. 



G. F. Otto, of San Diego, accompan- 

 ied py his son and daughter, is stopping 

 here for a few days en route from New 

 York. Mr. Otto and his family have 

 been touring the country. 



Inside stock is scarce, according to 

 the E. W. McLcllan Co. This includes 

 roses and asters. Chrysanthemums are 

 coming in a little more freely and the 

 stock is good. Gardenias are scarce. 

 This firm expects plenty of violets for 

 shipment by October 15 to 20. 



J. A. Axell states that he is handling 

 many roses, but he has not nearly 

 enough to supply the local demand. 

 Sunday, August 22, Mr. Axell inspected 

 the farms of the chrysanthemum grow- 

 ers thoroughly and found good, healthy
