9' Plath has a large quantity of 

 rooted cuttings from some new rubber 

 plants, Ficus utilis, which he got last 

 fall, all doing nicely, and believes they 

 will be quite popular. He is anxiously 

 awaiting a shipment of palms which 

 was sent from Belgium some time ago, 

 but has not since been heard from. He 

 has propagated a good number «of 

 primulas from two of last year's 

 growth that seem to be distinct va- 

 rieties of desirable quality; at least 

 they seem to resemble nothing listed 

 in any of the catalogues. Mr. Plath 

 has purchased a lot across the street 

 from his establishment; he is building 

 on it a large, new tank-house and re- 

 moving the old one. 



J. A. Carbone, of West Berkeley, has 

 a remarkably fine crop of orchids this 

 spring. For about a month past he 

 has been cutting from a big house of 

 Cattleya Mossiae, from which he is sup- 

 plying practically the whole coast. He 

 has never had such large flowers; some 

 specimens measure over nine inches 

 from tip to tip, four flowers on a stem, 

 and one of the largest plants bore about 

 200 blossoms at once. He has also a 

 nice house of C. Gaskelliana, and one 

 of C. gigas imperialis, which will bo 

 coming out in about two months. A 

 large collection of dendrobiums and 

 vandas are also coming on in good 

 shape. He is showing some handsome 

 Miltonia vexillaria, one plant of which 

 has six sprays. Mr. Carbone reports a 

 good call for Phalaenopsis amabilis, of 

 ■which he has hardlj^ had enough for 

 requirements this year. Odontoglossum 

 crispum also, he says, is becoming 

 quite ^popular, and of this he has a 

 whole house. 



The Hogan-Kooyman Co. is still 

 showing squaw grass blossoms from the 

 mountains. These are- a strong attrac- 

 tion, as the long stalks are covered 

 with a mass of tiny, delicate white 

 blossoms, with a faint, sweet odor. It 

 is said that these bloom only after a 

 forest fire; they are certainly a nov- 

 elty. 



E. James, of East Oakland, has an- 

 other good-sized lot of rambler roses, 

 principally Tausendschon and Dorothy 

 Perkins, which will soon be ready. 



The rhododendrons in the Court of 

 the Universe at the exposition are still 

 in full bloom, but those in the horti- 

 cultural gardens are about gone. The 

 principal feature in the gardens just 

 now is the German iris, which is at its 

 best. The roses at the exposition are 

 also beginning to show up rather well.
