highly for the promoters and exhibitors. 

 Large numbers of people attended dur- 

 ing the three days of the show and wide- 

 spread public interest was stimulated in 

 Uoral displays and in decorative art as 

 applied to flowers. 



J. A. Axell, who is in the thick of his 

 shipping season, took time to say that a 

 new yellow chrysanthemum is needed to 

 fill the gap between Chrysolora and Bon- 

 naffon. At present, this gap is some- 

 what imperfectly filled by a chrysanthe- 

 mum known as Clara "Wells, but the fo- 

 liage of Clara Wells is too brittle. The 

 need in California is for a fine yellow 

 mum that will follow Chrysolora and be 

 in its prime before November 1. 



Mrs. Gooch, wife of General Gooch, of 

 Darbeo's, has been ill for a number of 

 days and is now iu the St. Francis hos- 

 pital to determine the nature of her 

 disability. Mrs. Gooch is popular with 

 the trade and considerable anxiety for 

 her welfare is felt by her many friends. 



Most of the florists, wholesale and re- 

 tail, are working for Angelo J. Rossi, of 

 Pelicano, Rossi & Co., whose candidacy 

 for supervisor has aroused much in- 

 terest. 



F. C. Jaeger, Jr., of F. C. Jaeger & Son, 

 has noticed that election time seems to 

 be one of the few things that cannot be 

 said with flowers. "There is always a 

 slump in the flower trade during election 

 week, but fortunately elections do not 

 come often or last long," he said. 



A great many of the asparagus 

 growers arc going out of that business 

 and taking up rose culture. Some of 

 them state that they simply cannot sell 

 asparagus. It is thought, however, that 

 part of this failure to sell is due to the 

 way in which the growers bunch their 

 stock. When the price of asparagus is 

 hi_7h, the bunches arc apt to be too small. 



Speaking of the prevailing mania for 

 growing Russell roses, Mrs. Darbee 

 stated that she believes, eventually, 

 California-grown Russells will invade 

 the New York market. Mrs. Darbee 

 shipped some especially good Eussells to 

 New York herself for experimental pur- 

 poses, and tliey arrived in excellent 

 condition. 



Enomoto & Co., Inc., have an espe- 

 cially large assortment of pompon mums 

 coming from their nurseries, the colors 

 of which run the gamut of all the au- 

 tumn tints. These are iu demand for 

 decorative purposes. 



Domoto Bros, have so many Russell 

 roses coming from their nurseries that 

 tliey can slipply the present demand nn(i 

 have plenty to spare for tlie Thanks-
