llBh currency. Among its specialties tlie com- 

 pany mentions roses, fruit tree stocks, lilacs, 

 perennials and the new varieties in general orna- 

 mentals. 



Perry's Hardy Plant Farm, Enfield, England.— 

 Two catalogues, Nos. 195 and 196, botii printed 

 In the compact, clear and accurate style that is 

 characteristic of the Perry publications. No. 

 1»6 is a 16-page "Special Offer of Irises and 

 Bulbs." No. 196, just double the size of the 

 other book, is entitled "Perry's Select List of 

 Alpines and Perennials," 



SAN FRANCISCO NOTES.

 « the finishing touch being garlands of 

 pansiea attached to the sides of the box 

 in the manner of handles. 



Frank Pelicano, of Pelicano, Eossi & 

 Co., is busy now with his catalogue of 

 dahlia bulbs. Each year, Mr. Pelicano 

 states, the business assumes larger pro- 

 portions and at the present time his or- 

 ders are so numerous that he anticipates 

 a complete clean-up on his stock. 



T. E. Mabee, manager of the Fancher 

 . Creek Nurseries, of Fresno, Cal., was a 

 visijior in San Francisco last week. 

 Others of the trade who recently paid 

 this city a visit were Harry Short, of 

 Napa, Cal., and Frank Smith, of Modes- 

 to, Cal. 



At the store of Mrs. Copeland, on 

 Sutter street, was seen a most attrac- 

 tive window last week. A handsome, 

 Korean, camphor wood chest, elaborate- 

 ly decorated in the brilliant oriental 

 reds, was filled to overflowing with 

 masses of madrona berries, carrying out 

 the color note to perfection. Mrs. 

 Copeland states that she is shipping 

 large quantities of colonial bouquets of 

 strawflowers to many eastern cities, 

 where they have met with instant popu- 

 larity. They are also on sale at the 

 shop here, where the demand is con- 

 stantly growing. 



A new store has been opened at 1006 

 Bush street under the attractive name 

 of the Band Box. The store is con- 

 ducted by Mrs. V, van der Meerch and 

 Mrs. E. Davenport. Both ladies are 

 comparatively recent arrivals in San 

 Francisco, but both have had experi- 

 ence in the business before — Mrs. van 

 der Meerch in the east and Mrs. Daven- 

 port at Spokane, Wash. The shop is 

 attractively finished in pale green with 

 striped green hangings decorated with 

 multicolored flower motifs. As it is 

 located in the heart of the Bush street 

 apartment house section, it is thought 

 that a quite substantial business can be 

 built up. 



The annual convention of the Cali- 

 fornia Nurserymen's Association was 

 opened November 10 at Chico, Cal.; its 

 sessions continued through the week un- 

 til Friday, November 14. Among those 

 locally known who spoke at the con- 

 vention were H. A. Hyde, of Watson- 

 ville, Cal., and H. Plath, of San Fran- 

 cisco. Mr. Plath 's address was entitled 

 "Ferns for Outdoor Garden Ferneries." 



The land which has been used during 

 the last season by the Silva-Bergtholdt 

 Co., nurserymen, at Lincoln, Cal., has 

 been released and will be planted again 

 this winter. M. M.

Do You Believe 



in Gambling? 



You can buy Lettuce seeds at $1.00 

 per pound, but it is a gamble/ Good 

 seeds of known vitality and purity can- 

 not be produced cheaply. It costs us 

 thousands of dollars each year to study 

 the behavior of our strains in our trial 

 grounds, but we consider it a good 

 investment because it saves our cus- 

 ■ tomers money and gambling. 



XXX Grand Rapids 



is a special strain of proven merit, in 

 connection with which repeated tests 

 have eliminated the gamble. Extra 

 curly, extra fine color and every plant 

 a true-to-type specimen. We'll stake 

 our reputation that it will please the 

 most critical. Oz. 20 cts., "4 lb. 55cts., 

 lb. $2.00. (Special price on 5 and 10 

 pound lots.) 



Please let us Quote 



on your requirements for next season. 

 It will not obligate you to buy. but 

 will afford us a chance to further ac- 

 quaint you with our methods of taking 

 the gamble out of gardening.
