The Florists' Review 



67 



tions for membership were received 

 from F. Metzner, of Mountain View, 

 Cal.; Al. 'J. Nevraumont, of the Cali- 

 fornia Seed Co., this city; H. A. Hyde, 

 of Watson ville, Cal.; J. Walter, a local 

 gardener, and K. Nyeland, of Oakland, 

 propagator of plants for the University 

 of California. 



H. Plath, on behalf of the exhibition 

 committee, discussed prospects for the 

 fall flower show, and advised members 

 to begin growing stock for it, if they 

 have not already started. W. A. Hofing- 

 hoff reported that the ladies had organ- 

 ized to entertain the visiting ladies of 

 the S. A. F., and would be prepared to 

 see that they had an enjoyable time 

 during the convention. The question 

 of a picnic came up for discussion, and 

 as it appeared that a good many mem- 

 bers, few of whom were at the meeting, 

 desired a picnic, F. Pelicano, F. Bert- 

 rand and V. Podesta were appointed to 

 consider the matter. Dan Eaymond, 

 who had been nominated for treasurer, 

 withdrew, and J. A. Axell, of the E. W. 

 McLellan Co., was elected to the oflSce. 



The lecture of the evening was given 

 by Prof. Stevens, of the University of 

 California, on "The History of Land- 

 scape Gardening," arid was considered 

 one of the most interesting t^lks heard 

 by this society in a loAg time. Many 

 fine slides were shown, some interesting 

 ones being of the exposition at San 

 Diego. 



The evening's exhibits were of con- 

 siderable interest. Frank Pelicano 

 showed a bunch of Gladiolus Panama, 

 about the first to appear here, which 

 was rated at 95 points. H. Plath showed 

 a large pot of Adiantum Plathi, a new 

 seedling, believed to be a hybrid of A. 

 gracillimum and A. cuneatum Roen- 

 beckii. The fern makes a rapid, strong 

 and large growth, with delicate leaves 

 of good color, and the stems stand up 

 strong. It is expected to be of some 

 commercial importance when enough 

 plants are available, though of course 

 it cannot be propagated from seed. 

 This was rated at 95 points. J. Gill 

 showed a single flower of the new 

 hybrid brier rose, Juliet, rated at 60 

 points. 



Various Notes. 



The ladies connected with the flo- 

 rists' and nursery trades of San Fran- 

 cisco and vicinity have held several 

 meetings in the last few weeks, or- 

 ganizing a local Ladies ' Auxiliary So- 

 ciety, of which Mrs. Vallance, of Oak- 

 land, is president; Mrs. H. Plath, vice- 

 president; Mrs. J. Gill, secretary, and 

 Mrs. Wessel, treasurer. The principal 

 work in hand is to arrange for suit- 

 able entertainment for the ladies of 

 the S. A. F. 



Large shipments of plants have ar- 

 rived during the last few weeks for 

 the convention garden, and planting is 

 progressing rapidly. About all the 

 space originally provided for has been 

 taken. 



Messrs. Fotheringham, Plath and 

 James, judges in the international rose 

 contest for the $1,000 prize, are keep- 

 ing pretty busy these days, as the con- 

 test plantings are blooming rapidly, 

 and some fine and ii^eresting roses are 

 appearing. * 



The date of the American Sweet Pea 

 Society's show in the Palace of Horti- 

 culture was again changed, on account 

 of the recent hot weather, which has 

 quickly brought the sweet peas to their 

 best, and the show opened June 11.
