been a great attraction to visitors. 

 Superintendent McGilvray is to be con- 

 gratulated on the fine appearance of 

 his charges, not only in the houses but 

 also outdoors. He has made a wonder- 

 ful transformation in a short time.

The Market. 



The florists, or at least a good num- 

 ber of the larger shops, have had an- 

 other big week, owing to the numerous 

 special decorations for Labor day and 

 in particular for the Native Sons' cele- 

 bration of Admission day, September 9; 

 while the Jewish New Year at the same 

 time caused an extremely large demand 

 for ferns and flowering plants, as well 

 as special baskets and cut flowers in 

 general. 



Offerings of cut flowers are hardly 

 so large as for some time and every- 

 thing is quickly cleaned up. Supplies 

 of the small summer stock are still 

 quite large, but some lines are going off 

 crop and all show signs of the late- 

 ness of the season. Gladioli also are 

 getting scarce and will not last much 

 longer. A few fair sweet peas are 

 seen. Carnations are still rather 

 scarce, as the new stock is not y§t show- 

 ing up well. Asters are going off crop 

 and poor stock brings rather high 

 prices. There are plenty of good 

 dahlias, including a wide range of va- 

 rieties. Amaryllises are fairly popular, 

 but are peddled on the street at low 

 prices. Lilies are less plentiful, though 

 rubrums are in fair supply, and there 

 are enough cold storage giganteums to 

 meet requirements. Roses show little 

 change, except that the small growers 

 are bringing in less stock and every- 

 thing, including short stock, cleans up 

 quickly. Mums continue to improve 

 and some are being shipped, though few 

 go far east as yet. October Frost, Mon- 

 rovia and Crocker are most plentiful, 

 but there are a good many Rose Pink 

 and pompons are doing well. Violets 

 are still quite scarce, only a few small 

 bunches being seen at the larger stores. 

 Cyclamen plants are appearing more 

 freely and are good. There is a good 

 deal of fine cockscomb. Hydrangeas 

 are less in evidence and offerings of 

 primulas are moderate and nothing ex- 

 tra in quality, the best of the available 

 stock having been cleaned up earlier in 

 the week. Few orchids are appearing. 

 Gardenias are fair and the cut is 

 quickly disposed of. 



Horticultural Society Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society, on the eve- 

 ning of September 4, was the first time 

 that the members have got together 

 since the S. A. F. convention and was 

 naturally of more than usual interest, 

 bringing out quite a large attendance. 

 Just as the meeting opeiied, Victor 

 Podesta came in and, depositing the 

 fine trophy won by him in the bowl- 

 ing tournament on the table used for 

 floral exhibits, was greeted with pro- 

 longed applause. H. Plath, president 

 of the society, made a short talk on af- 

 fairs connected with the convention, 

 expressing much gratification at the 

 way everything turned out and making 

 a satisfactory report as to the financing 

 of the affair. At t^ close of his talk 

 D. Raymond made a motion that Daniel 

 MacRorie be fined for not attending
