tlie result that stock of most kinds fails 

 to clean up even at easy prices. Prac- 

 tically all seasonable varieties of out- 

 door stock are offered in large quan- 

 tities. No asters and few zinnias have 

 yet appeared. Carnations have been 

 o\ erplentiful and ordinary stock is 

 practically given away. Sweet peas are 

 not doing much better. Gladioli con- 

 tinue plentiful, with better demand and 

 hijjher average quality, and extra fine 

 stock continues to bring high prices. 

 Some particularly fine dahlias have ap- 

 peared, but these are not overabundant. 

 Some nice indoor pink snapdragon finds 

 ready sale. Eoses move slowly and the 

 average quality is not good; the flow- 

 ers are good enough, but the foliage is 

 mildewed. Good, long-stemmed Eussell 

 still finds an active demand and Ophelia 

 is steadily gaining in popularity. Cecile 

 Brunner is less plentiful, with the de- 

 mand holding fairlj'^ well. Offerings of 

 lilies and valley are sufficient for all 

 requirements, the call being limited. 

 Orchids also are quiet; the market is 

 well supplied with good cattleyas. 

 Tritoma, both cut and potted, is seen 

 in many shops. Potted hydrangeas of 

 several kinds, including a good many 

 blue-flowered sorts, are still fairly 

 popular. 



Various Notes. 



Owing to the holiday, and the fact that 

 a good many members wished to get out 

 of town for the week end, the monthly 

 meeting of the Pacific Coast Horticul- 

 tural Society, scheduled for Julj' 3, was 

 postponed for a week. 



The local Ladies' Auxiliary of the S. 

 A. F. held a well attended meeting on 

 the evening of June .30, at which the 

 entertainment of visiting ladies at the 

 convention was discussed and the prin- 

 cipal details were decided on. Another 

 meeting and reception were held on the 

 evening of Julv 14, at the home of 

 Mrs. J. A. Axeil.

Mr. Kooyman, of the Hogan-Kooy- 

 man Co., says he is still getting many 

 large orders for freesia bulbs and ex- 

 pects to clean up his available supply 

 soon. 



The local trade is now well supplied 

 with vases and pottery from the Peters 

 & Eeed Pottery Co., Zanesville, O., as 

 about two carloads of these have just 

 been received by the florists' supply 

 houses. 



Chas. F. Shellgrain, of the house of 

 J. B. Boland, says that while trade is 

 keeping up better than usual, he looks 

 for comparatively quiet times the rest 

 of July. With a lot of big conventions 

 coming here in August, however, he 

 counts on a brisk revival at that time. 



F. Schlotzhauer, of the Francis Floral 

 Co., at Powell and Sutter streets, 

 showed a windowful of nice gloxinias 

 one day last week, and sold them out in 

 short order. He says they are proving 

 quite satisfactory as a summer-flower- 

 ing plant, coming when there is not 

 much else of attractive quality on the 

 market. He is also showing a fine lot 

 of new hybrid zinnias, about the first 

 to appear, and is getting out some pret- 

 ty baskets to harmonize with them. Mr. 

 Schlotzhauer is preparing to paint the

Mrs. K. E. Darbee says the new re- 

 frigerator car service of the American 

 Express Co. will probably cause a ma- 

 terial increase of shipments from San 

 Franciso, making it possible to ship 

 small parcels under refrigeration. One 

 car has been put on direct to New 

 York, in addition to the service 

 throughout the west. Mrs. Darbee says 

 this will be of great assistance in get-
