Tht Florists' Review 



66 



cellent stock is still shown. Supplies 

 of asters have increased rapidly, but 

 the heavy oflfprings are readily disposed 

 of. Ordinary dahlias are plentiful, and 

 thd market for extra fine stock, such as 

 some shops are showing, is limited. 

 Tritomas, unless extra large, do not 

 clean up. A good deal of salpiglossis 

 is coming in and is used to good ad- 

 vantage in mixed baskets. 



Where chrysanthemums a few years 

 ago were usually expected in the lat- 

 ter part of September, they are now 

 appearing in July, the first of the sea- 

 son having come in July 24. Only Mon- 

 rovia has appeared so far, but .Golden 

 Glow is expected within a week or two. 

 This gives an autumnal atmosphere to 

 the market, which is increased by the 

 appearance of a good many cyclamen 

 blooms and by the increasing variety 

 of lilies. Auratum is the latest in the 

 market, and this, as well as tigrinum and 

 rubrum, is exceptionally fine. 'Most of 

 the stores are making striking displays 

 of the three varieties. The rose market 

 is in poor shape and the offerings are 

 nothing extra in either quality or quan- 

 tity. Ophelia and Hadley do fairly 

 well, but Killarney and Maryland hard- 

 ly move. Few orchids are coming in. 



Various Notes. 



The local ways and means committee 

 for the S. A. F. convention is holding 

 ■frequent meetings, and hopes to have 

 all preliminaries attended to well in 

 advance of the convention. A meeting 

 was held July 28 and another July 31, 

 at which considerable progress was 

 made, and it is believed that the en- 

 tertainment furnished will make the 

 stay here enjoyable for the visitors. It 

 was thought for a time that the at- 

 tendance might be rather scant, but 

 Frederic J. Bertrand, of the accommo- 

 dation committee, says it now looks as 

 if the attendance will be good, consid- 

 ering the length of the trip. He has 

 already received a great many letters 

 asking that reservations be made at 

 local hotels, and is getting the matter 

 in hand well in advance. 



V. Podesta, chairman of the bowling 

 committee, says the prospect is favor- 

 able for a good contest and he believes 

 the local team will put up a creditable 

 showing, as several of the members 

 have developed into first-class bowlers. 



Some of the awards of prizes in the 

 department of horticulture of the ex- 

 position are now being announced. Tbi 

 Metzner Floral Co., of Mountain Vie'w, 

 won a grand prize for seedling gftidioli, 

 which local experts believe are the fin- 

 est that have ever been grown. This 

 company also took a gold medal for 

 carnations. The Fancher Creek Nurs- 

 eries, of Fresno, received a medal of 

 honor for a collective exhibit of orna- 

 mental and flowering plants and nurs- 

 ery stock. The rose exhibit of the Gill 

 Nursery Co. won a gold medal, and the 

 California Rose Co., of Los Angeles, 

 took a silver medal for a collection of 

 field roses. Silver medals were also 

 awarded to the Vallance Nursery for 

 a rose exhibit, and to N. F. Vanderbilt, 

 of San Rafael, for hybrid delphiniums. 

 The plot of Lilium Harrisii of E. 

 Bustrum, "Watsonville, took a bronze 

 medal. In the general gardens of the 

 exposition, south of the Avenue of 

 Palms, the planting of pansies has been 

 removed and begonias put in their 

 place.
