The Florists' Review 



6], 



characteristic of this season in Cali- 

 fornia, and the sale of these cheaper 

 things is normal and healthy. We have 

 a great many of the white and pink- 

 flowering eucalyptus, which make a 

 good substitute for the huckleberry, 

 commonly used here, which is at this 

 time somewhat scrawny and shedding 

 its leaves. Cut hydrangeas have been 

 used here and there for window decora- 

 tions and prove most eifective. It might 

 be noticed that the maindenhair fern 

 and Asparagus plumosus have been ar- 

 riving in much larger bunches, which 

 is another characteristic of California's 

 summer ampleness. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society was held at 

 Saachem hall Saturday night, June 13, 

 and the evening given chiefly to the 

 execution of the business of the society. 

 A baseball club was formed, and plans 

 were made for the annual picnic, D. 

 Raymond and P. Ferrari being the most 

 active in the undertaking. John Val- 

 lence, who recently bought the nurs- 

 eries of C. C. Morse & Co., favored the 

 society with a few remarks and ex- 

 pressed his intention of cooperating 

 with the society in carrying out its 

 ideas for the convention of the S. A. F. 

 when held in San Francisco. 



Exhibits of the evening were awarded 

 points as follows: Ninety points for a 

 plant of Cattleya Gaskelliana alba, ex- 

 hibited by Dr. Parker; eighty points for 

 a plant of Miltonia vexillaria exhibited 

 by the MacRorie-McLaren Co., and 

 eighty points for a vase of Enchantress 

 carnations exhibited by J. A. S^illig. 



Various Notes. 



H. Plath, of the Ferneries, is much 

 gratified with the new fern Teddy, Jr., 

 which is a dwarf form of Roosevelt and 

 a much quicker grower, sending out 

 many runners, in fact, probably the best 

 of all the short-frond ferns. Mr. Plath 

 has been able to move into his newly 

 constructed houses and has a fine lot of 

 adiantum and pteris in many varieties. 



The MacRorie-McLaren Co. has just 

 received from Australia a shipment of 

 rare heaths. Already Mr. MacRorie has 

 in his collection a great many new va- 

 rieties and before another year is over 

 will undoubtedly have the best collec- 

 tion of heaths procurable on the coast. 



Dr. Parker, of Santa Cruz, through 

 his representative, sent a finely flowered 

 plant of Cattleya Gaskelliana alba to 

 the city last week. The plant contained 

 two mammoth-sized flowers. 



Podesta & Baldocchi displayed an 

 unusually attractive hamper of cactus 

 dahlias and lavender sweet peas in their 

 windows June 12. The hamper was 

 oxecutcd by H. Soelke. Another unusu- 

 ally good piece of work made by the 

 same firm was a basket of oriental 

 lioppies and scabiosas. The selection of 

 I'ibbon and the tasteful arrangement of 

 it aided in making a spectacular and 

 beautiful show. 



Pelicano, Rossi & Co. had an unusu- 

 ally rich display of rhododendrons last 

 week. They are probably the last of 

 the season. 



Ralph Stevens, of the University of 

 California, has just returned from the 

 < onvention of nurserymen at Davis. On 

 his arrival he immediately made plans 

 for a visit to the Yosemite valley, where 

 he is now summering. 



Albert O. Stein reports an active 

 week with decorations. Mr. Stein exe-
