 a high premium; in fact, they are ex- 

 tremely scarce. 



Horticultural Society. 



At the regular meeting of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society, held at 

 4Sachem hall on Saturday evening, Octo- 

 ber 4, the exhibits were scored as fol- 

 lows: A vase of Mrs. Taft roses, ex- 

 hibited by E. W. McLellan Co., 90 

 jioints; specimen plant Adiantum Far- 

 jeyense, exhibited by MacRorie-Mc- 

 Jjaren Co., 90 points; specimen plant of 

 acrostichum, exhibited by H. Plath, 85 

 points. 



The interest of the society is concen- 

 trated on the coming fall flower show. 

 The committee in charge, of which Will- 

 iam Munro, of the Crocker estate, is 

 chairman, reported favorable progress. 

 There has been some difficulty in find- 

 ing floor space for the many exhibitors. 

 The committee reported the souvenir 

 programs ready for the press, the quar- 

 ter cards distributed, the floor scheme 

 adopted, a long list of patrons with lib- 

 eral subscriptions and an early sale of 

 tickets. There is no doubt that the 

 ilower show will be a great success, be- 

 ing in the hands of able managers. At 

 the meeting of the society an invitation 

 ■was received from the Menlo Park 

 Floral Society, to attend that society's 

 show at Menlo Park, October 31 to 

 November 2. A feature of the Menlo 

 Park flower show will be a barbecue. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Eppstein, of the California 

 Plorists, had an ela:borate table deco- 

 ration at the Family Club last week. 

 There were fifty guests seated at a 

 table which bounded a miniature repro- 

 duction of Golden Gate park. Over 

 four sets of elaborate swinging gates 

 was the inscription, "Travers Park." 

 The park itself was a skillful creation 

 of lawns, swimming pools, driveways, 

 and beds of chrysanthemums, cornflow- 

 •ers, cosmos and pansies. In the menag- 

 erie were twenty-five living monkeys, 

 which supplied much merriment to the 

 guests. Back of each guest was a car- 

 toon which bore a remarkable likeness 

 to the person over whose chair it was 

 placed. Automobiles moved back and 

 forth on the driveways, complete with 

 «lectric equipment. This decoration was 

 not entirely a creation of flowers, but 

 one such as the retail florists are often 

 asked to supply. It showed unusual 

 originality and dexterity of arrange- 

 ment. 



The MacRorie-McLaren Co. is sending 

 out a neat price list of Holland bulbs, 

 of which they received a heavy ship- 

 went early in the month. 



The Mayflower Floral Co. has closed 

 its doors and the contents have been 

 ^o\i at auction. The fixtures, which 

 represent a large expenditure of money, 

 iire still practically new. A deal is 

 pending, which," if successful, will turn 

 the store over to a new management, 

 two women being interested in the loca- 

 tion. 



San Francisco has added another 

 florists' establishment to its list. The 

 l^ellview Floral Shop opened its doors 

 October 1. The store, which is in the 

 'orner of the hotel building, is a large 

 ^nd attractive one. Miss Cohn, for- 

 merly with Julius Eppstein, is one of 

 the partners and is known to the craft. 

 We wish the new firm every possible 

 success.
