scarlet, crimson and yellow being per- 

 fect in size, contour and rich, vivid 

 coloring. Owing to the summer heat 

 in this section, asters are hard to keep 

 true to form, but anything showing a 

 single center is ruthlessly culled out, 

 with the result that seed is saved only 

 from the best double forms in the in- 

 dividual strains. Phlox Drummondii 

 and verbenas are two kinds largely 

 grown here; also the finest types of 

 candytuft, mignonette and the pretty 

 Dianthus Heddewigii in variety. While 

 this farm is not large as compared 

 with the company's holdings both 

 here and farther north, the excellent 

 state of cultivation and the splen- 

 did quality of the stock make it a 

 great credit to Mr. Johanssen. One 

 thing I should have noted is a perfect 

 strain of cockscomb, grand in coloring 

 and form, dwarf, and in every respect 

 a winner, I was sorry to hear that, 

 owing to sickness, Mrs. Johanssen has 

 been unable to visit the farms this 

 year.

The Market. 



The local trade seems to have en- 

 tered a "between seasons" period, for 

 business is quiet. This is attributed 

 to diminishing exposition attendance, 

 while the usual local fall activity has 

 hardly started. The shipping trade, 

 however, is steadily increasing and, as 

 stock is not overplentiful, Values are 

 well maintained. There are still a good 

 many nice scabiosas, gypsophilas and 

 marigolds, but most lines of summer 

 stock are playing out. A good deal 

 of cosmos is used, and quite a lot of 

 amaranthus is sold. Carnations also 

 continue rather scarce and all special 

 quality stock is spoken for in advance, 

 though oflEerings are improving. Vio- 

 lets are beginning to show up fairly 

 well. Street venders are already han- 

 dling a^ good many. Asters still are 

 appearing, but are poor. Chrysanthe- 

 mums show considerable improvement 

 in both quantity and quality. There 

 is a fine cut of Golden Glow, and Mon- 

 rovia and Crocker are plentiful and ex- 

 cellent. Ilnaka also is showing up well 

 and is fairly popular and the Chinese 

 outdoor mums are coming in freely. 

 Pompons are rather popular, but not 

 overplentiful. Th^e is a fine cut of 

 dahlias, though the demand is hardly 

 up to expectations, owing to the unusu- 

 ally early mum season. The late gla- 

 dioli are excellent and always find a 

 ready demand. Scarcely any lilies are 

 coming in, but the supply of valley 

 keeps up fairly well and finds quite a 

 large demand. Hoses are gradually 

 improving, but there is hardly enough 

 long stock to meet the demand. Beau- 

 ties are scarce and poor. There is no 

 surplus even of short stock. Ward, 

 Hadley, Eussell and Killarney Bril- 

 liant are all popular. There is a good 

 cut of gardenias, but they clean up 

 quickly and more could be sold. Or- 

 chids are limited to a few fine sprays 

 of oncidium. The large cut of cattleyas 

 will not be in for several weeks. Greens 

 continue in strong demand. Flowering 

 plants are rather scarce. Less cocks- 

 comb is seen and while a good many

Various Notes. 



The municipal primary election last 

 week gave rise to some business, espe- 

 cially baskets and bouquets presented 

 to Mayor Bolph, who was reelected by 

 a substantial majority. A lot of these 

 were made by Pelicano, Eossi & Co., 

 which was quite fitting, in view of the 

 active electioneering done for Mr. 

 Kolph by Angelo J. Rossi. 



Frank Pelicano is now bringing in 

 an unusually fine cut of dahlias and is
