approaching their height. It is perhaps 

 misleading to say that shipping busi- 

 ness has stopped without making an 

 exception of strawflowers, as these are 

 being forwarded in considerable quan- 

 tities. 



Unfortunately, carnations were rather 

 scarce for Memorial day and have since 

 then been in too heavy supply, thus 

 making it difficult to maintain prices 

 even on excellent stock. Sweet peas 

 amount to a glut, although quantities of 

 them are disposed of every day. There 

 is little to say about roses. The best 

 Hadley, Ophelia and Bussell maintain 

 their popularity well, but a good many 

 other varieties, especially short-stemmed 

 roses, find their way to the street stands 

 at whatever the venders choose to offer. 

 Few of the large-flowetring gladioli as 

 yet have arrived, and the limited sup- 

 ply cleans up readily. Baby gladioli are 

 quite plentiful, however. Peonies are 

 going off crop and will not last much 

 longer. Spanish iris is about gone too. 



Among the miscellaneous flowers co- 

 reopsis stands out prominently on ac- 

 count of its splendid quality, the blooms 

 being unusually large and a great many 

 of the stems being two feet in length. 

 There are plenty of orchids, gardenias 

 and valley. 



Horticultural Society Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society, which was 

 held June 2, was one of the best meet- 

 ings held this year, both from the stand- 

 point of attendance and interesting pro- 

 ceedings. Mr. Bagge gave a talk on 

 "Fakes and Near-Fakes," which was 

 well received. Applications for mem- 

 bership were submitted and accepted 

 from W. B. Clarke, manager of the Cot- 

 tage Gardens Nurseries, and Victor Fer- 

 rari, son of Peter Ferrari, who is an ac- 

 tive member. As a rather unusual fea- 

 ture, C. W. Ward sent down some aza- 

 lea plants from Eureka, which were 

 presented by Mr. Clarke. In connection 

 with the exhibit Mr. Clarke gave an in- 

 teresting lecture on the growth of this 

 flower, also the growth of the daffodil 

 and narcissus, making effective compari- 

 sons between California-grown bulbs 

 and those Holland-grown by means of 

 photographs showing the different 

 stages of development. The azaleas 

 were fine specimens of lyear-old plants, 

 the growth being hardy. For the picnic 

 committee, all preparations were re- 

 ported complete for the annual event. 

 Following the regular society meeting, 

 the flower show committee met and de- 

 cided to prepare for a show to be held 

 the third week in March, 1918. Several 

 hundred dollars have already been 

 signed up to make the event a big suc- 

 cess. The evening's exhibits made a 

 creditable showing. Eichard Diener,

Various Notes. 



Fred C. Jaeger has severed his con- 

 nection with MacRorie & McLaren, with 

 the intention, it is understood, of en- 

 gaging in business for himself in the 

 same neighborhood. Mr. Jaeger is one 

 of the pioneers of the florists' business 

 in San Francisco. Prior to his identifica- 

 tion with MacRorie & McLaren he was 

 one of the principal stockholders in the 

 Fairmont Floral Co., which MacRorie 

 & McLaren bought out a year or more 

 ago. J. B. Bernadau succeeds Mr. Jae- 

 ger as manager of the MacRorie & Mc- 

 Laren store, at 141 Powell street. He 

 has been with the company for a little 

 more than a year, but that period repre- 

 sents only a small portion of his con- 

 nection with the trade, as he practically 

 grow up in the business. A good deal 

 of his early training he got with his

The Art Floral Co. did considerable 

 work for Les Darcy, when the boxer's 

 remains passed through San Francisco 

 en route to Australia. For the boxers of 

 New York they arranged a basket of 

 roses, containing forty dozen Radiance, 

 Russell and Ophelia roses. For the box- 

 ers of Chicago they made a large
