ings were added to the exhibit commit- 

 tee of the society, and a new member, 

 W. A. Leslie, was received into the or- 

 ganization. A pleasant feature of the 

 evening was- an interesting lecture, with 

 lantern slides, on "Plant Breeding," 

 by Prof. Babcock, of the University of 

 California, which was followed by a 

 general discussion. 



The evening's exhibits included &, 

 large Rhododendron Pink Pearl from 

 the MacRorie-McLaren Co., rated at 95 

 points. This is one of a number re- 

 cently imported by the company, which 

 took prizes at an exhibition in Petro- 

 grad a year ago, and stands about four 

 feet high, an almost solid mass of 

 bloom. A display of cut tulips shown 

 by Frank Pelicano, including Clara 

 Butt, Gesneriana lutea, Mme. Krelage 

 and Pride of Haarlem, took 80 points; 

 a Nephrolepis Smithii, by H. Plath, 80 

 points; a potted Gesneriana erantica, by 

 F. A. Shillig, 75 points, and Rose Irish 

 Fireflame, by E. Gill, 75 points. 



The ways and means committee in 

 charge of arrangements on the part of 

 the San Francisco florists for the con- 

 vention will hold an important meeting 

 this week, and it is expected that the 

 plans can soon be announced in some 

 detail. 



Various Notes. 



James J. Karins, representative of 

 Henry A. Dreer, Inc., of Philadelphia, 

 stopped here after a trip through the 

 northwest, arriving just in time to act 

 as one of the judges of exhibits at the 

 Horticultural Society meeting. 



According to reports from some of 

 the San Jose florists, the Easter busi- 

 ness there was about the best on record, 

 and the spring business in seed and 

 nursery stock there is coming out well. 



.T. A. Carbone, of Berkeley, has a 

 magnificent crop of orchids, and some 

 fine displays of his stock are appearing 

 at San Francisco stores. Podesta & 

 Baklocohi have an especially remark- 

 able display, including one plant of 

 Cattleya Mossiae filling a pot about two 

 feet in diameter and a small specimen 

 of a rare white variety, which is for 

 exhibition only, in addition to a large 

 display of fine cut orchids, of various 

 types. 



Park Superintendent .John McLaren 

 and Donald McLaren, of the MacRorie- 

 McLaren Co., have just returned from 

 a visit to southern California. 



The San Leandro flower show, under 

 the auspices of the California Botanical 

 Society, was held April 9 and 10, with 

 more than 400 varieties of native wild 

 flowers and a good collection of culti- 

 vated plants on exhibition. 



As might be expected during such a 

 year as this in San Francisco, florists 

 have been somewhat troubled by "dead- 

 beats," or people who try to get goods 

 on "jawbone." with no intention of 

 paying. The florists are on their guard, 

 however, and cooperate to some extent, 

 with the result that a number of buy- 

 ers of this class have lately been 

 "spotted" before there was any great 

 loss. 



Street vendors are not only unusually 

 numerous in San Francisco this year, 

 but take up much sidewalk space, and 

 are persistent and enterprising to the 

 extent of being obnoxious. They are 

 cutting in to an appreciable degree on 

 the trade of the regular florists, who 

 pay high rent and taxes. It appears 

 that no steps can be taken to limit their 

 operations, as their cause has been 

 taken up by influential people, with the 



It 



Pays 



To 



Pacific Coast 



Florists : 



What stock have you 



for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade about 

 it by nsing the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably report good 

 results. Like this: 



Say I That ad's a humdinger for getting the 

 business.— Everett Floral Co., Everett, Wash. 



I sold all the Mum cuttings advertised, and joa 

 will not hear from me again until I can get soms 

 more stock ready. Shall root 100,000 Carnation 

 cuttings for next season, aa I know Tbe Review 

 will sell them for me.— Frank Wilhelm, Los Aa- 

 geles. Cal. 



Flease cut out of oar advertisement In Tbe Ba- 

 vlew the cyclamen seedlings. We said all onr 

 surplus cyclamen seedlings as a direct result of 

 our advertisement in your paper.— Spokane 

 Greenhouses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that our last advertisement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At- 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strancely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salea, 

 Ore., and from Salem. Mass.— State Floral Co.. 

 North Yakima. Wash. 



We are well pleased with the results obtained 

 by advertising in the Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refuMd 

 many orders. The Review surely gives remlti. 

 —Van Slyke & Seamons, Tacoma, Wash. 



The transient rate for space 

 is $1 per inch per insertion. 

 Those who have stock to offer 

 all or a considerable part of 

 the year aronnd should writs 

 for contract rates.
