market." Tho Domotos say that asters 

 have improved so rapidly that they aro 

 already shipping a large number. 



Enomoto & Co. arc timing their asters 

 to be ready for shipment August 1 and 

 have already booked a number of or- 

 ders for that date. 



The staff of Podesta & Baldocchi is 

 making arrangements to start a bowl- 

 ing team and is already willing to chal- 

 lenge any other florists' staff. Victor 

 Podesta has the reputation of being a 

 star bowler. 



Joseph's made something new in the 

 way of funeral designs last week. It 

 was for "Bud" Coffee, the young avi- 

 ator wlio was killed at Modesto, while 

 flying from the Yosemite. The full- 

 sizcd propellers of a plane were the 

 basis of the design, which used 12,000 

 carnations and a large quantity of Rus- 

 sell roses. The flower-covered propel- 

 lers were shipped by truck to Vnrney 

 field, and taken from there by plane to 

 Modesto. This is believed to have been 

 the largest floral design ever sent via 

 the air route. 



Pelicano, Rossi & Co. continue to 

 arouse interest with displays of Fr;ink 

 Pelicano 's dahlias. He has several new 

 seedlings of special l)oauty. 



The fall dahlia and flower show of the 

 Alameda County Floral Society will l)e 

 held September 4 and f), at the Hotel 

 Oakland. The society has posted fifty- 

 one prizes as awards for special ar- 

 rangements of certain kinds of flowers 

 and for dahlias. This show draws iii.-niy 

 exhibitors. 



The Art Floral Co. has utilized some 

 of the Last of the gladioli to make an 

 effcctivt> window display, using a Iniijc 

 basket of old ivory tint as tlu^ founda- 

 tion for the flower scheme. 



F. C. Jaeger & Son arc planning their 

 fall advertising campaign with special 

 attention to shijmients both of .-isters 

 and chrysanthemums. H. Stelling, tlie 

 firm's decorator, has returned from his 

 vacation. 



C. C. Cohen, of Cohen & Figont\ Ferry 

 Florists, is planning, he states, to st;irt 

 for an automobile trip to Xew York in 

 August. 



The Terminal Florists, who used to 

 specialize on bon-voyage baskets and 

 bouquets, say that their trade in this 

 lin(^ has fallen off seventy-five per cent 

 during the seamen's strike, whicli be- 

 gan in May. Current news, to the effect 

 that the strike may shortly be eiuled, is 

 giving satisfaction to all the florist-;.

 ly visited the Palace hotel in great 

 numbers. Especially at this season are 

 flowers grown in the city and county 

 good, because the baj' breezes keep the 

 atmosphere cool.

The Market. 



Si)asmo(lic business has lieen the rule 

 during the last week, with business nor- 

 mal for some days and quiet on others. 

 Stock deliveries have been light, so that 

 there has been no cause for complaint 

 of ovcrsupply on the part of the retail- 

 ers. The one new offering of the week 

 was baby ]iompons and they were so 

 immature as to exclude them from be- 

 coming a commercial factor. 



Roses are in shorter supply than any 

 other seasonable item, but a good share 

 of recent business has ignored this 

 standard flower. Russell is showing in 

 larger qtiantities, and there are still 

 jilenty of I^lrich Brnnner rosea to take

care of tho market needs. Growers of 

 this variety say they will have some 

 stock to deliver until the first frosts 

 interfere, along in October. The cut 

 of Columbia and Ojdielia is heavy 

 enough, with a light supply of Butter- 

 fly reported. There has been a heavy 

 decrease in the supply of Cecile Brun- 

 ners. The supply of orchids is also 

 short, but there is still enough to meet 

 trade requirements. 



Growers say that the production of 

 summer flowers this season has not lived 

 up to either early expectations, or the 

 normal for this section. Outdoor crops 

 of sweet peas, in some instances, have 

 been as low as twenty-five per cent of 

 normal, and there is some fear expressed 

 that the fall lines will also suffer. In- 

 sect pests have been the commonest 

 cause of loss, and experts at the state 

 university have been asked to study 

 these with the idea of finding what can 

 be done to prevent further damage.
