The Florists' Review 



A«€HIM 10. iois. 



■'iuit!l September 1. Before i*ftt, the 

 florists say, maay other kinds of good 

 stock are still plentiful, and the early 

 mums, though having no merit in them- 

 selves, simply disturb the market. Con- 

 sequently, later on, when chrysanthe- 

 mums have the market much to them- 

 selves, the novelty will have worn off, 

 and people will no longer pay high 

 prices for them. 



Society Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Pacific Coast Horticultural Society was 

 held on the evening of August 7. As 

 this was the last regular meeting be- 

 fore the S. A. F. convention, the meet- 

 ing was well attended, and matters per- 

 taining to the convention took prece- 

 dence over nearly everything else. 

 Arrangements were made for the local 

 ladies to take the members of the 

 Ladies' S. A. F. for an automobile ride 

 Wednesday morning, August 18, and 

 for a theater party for the ladies and 

 a. smoker at the Elks' auditorium xor 

 itie men Thursday evening, August 19. 



K. Gill and John Vallance were called 

 upon to speak of the Pacific Coast Nurs- 

 erymen 's Association's convention, Au- 

 gust 12 to 14. 



It was announced that the ladies 

 connected with the trade of San Fran- 

 cisco and vicii ity had formed a perma- 

 nent organization, taking the name of 

 Ladies' Auxiliary of the Pacific Coast 

 Horticultural Society. Financial Sec- 

 retary Meyer gave an encouraging re- 

 port on payments of dues which had 

 been in arrears. It was decided to ap- 

 propriate $25 for prizes for the bowl- 

 ing contest. Henry Heer was admitted 

 to membership. 



An interesting part of the evening's 

 program was a short lecture on the iris, 

 by S. B. Mitchell. Much of the discus- 

 sion was given to the so-called German 

 iris and types native to the Mediterra- 

 nean region in general, as especially de- 

 sirable for garden planting in Cali- 

 fornia. 



The evening's exhibits included a re- 

 markably fine exhibit of eleven speci- 

 mens of hybrid seedling gladioli, by 

 Bichard Diener, judged at ninety-nine 

 points. These were described as the re- 

 sult of one crossing in each case, a new 

 process being used. The blossoms were 

 all large, and some showed remarkably 

 fine colors. F. T. Pelicano showed four 

 specimens of cactus dahlias, originated 

 by Mr. Fincking and named after Mr. 

 Pelicano; and a vase each of Dahlia 

 Hampton Court and Gladiolus Niagara. 

 The whole collection was rated at sev- 

 enty points. E. Shillig brought a lot 

 of late Crawford peaches, which were 

 rated at seventy-five points and were 

 afterward much enjoyed by some of the 

 members. H. Plath showed a good 

 specimen of Nephrolepis tuberosa, in 

 a 14-inch pot, which took eighty points. 



Various Notes. 



Sydney H. Bayersdorfer, of H. 

 Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, ac- 

 companied by Martin Eeukauf, travel-

 tion were Frank McCabe, of the A. L. 

 Bandall Co., Chicago; Jacob Hess and 

 Mrs. Hess, of Omaha, Neb., and John A.
