BAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



In spite of the absence of rain last 

 week, the cooler weather benefited all 

 seasonable stock. It is remarkable how 

 orders for decorations continue to be 

 numerous. Several important banquets 

 and weddings last week kept the down- 

 town stores busy. Shipping is active 

 and, with the improved express service, 

 a big season is promised. 



There still are plenty of flowers and 

 it looks as though there will be much 

 small summer stock until the first se- 

 vere storm. Cosmos is plentiful. 

 Florists can obtain all they want of 

 statice, marigolds^ gaillardias, Shasta 

 daisies, amarantus, etc. Gladioli will 

 soon disappear; dahlias still are fine, 

 especially Burgle and Geisha. Asters 

 are about gone and there is little in- 

 crease in the supply of carnations. 



Chrysanthemums are at their best and 

 the supply is large and of wide va- 

 riety. The Queens are unusually fine 

 and the first of a large cut of William 

 Turner are appearing. There are a 

 good many Portolas, large red and yel- 

 low, which find a fair demand. Bon- 

 naffons are just starting and some Clara 

 Wells have come in. Others that are 

 moving well are Chrysolora, Maud Jef- 

 fries, Mrs. O. H. Kahn, Chieftain and 

 Helen Bloodgood. Pompons are more 

 plentiful than ever and find a large de- 

 mand. The Chinese mums are doing 

 well. 



Violets are in fair supply, but need 

 a good rain to bring them out in 

 quantity. Boses are moving well; a 

 lot of short stock that is usually dis- 

 carded finds a market, althoug*h good 

 long-stemmed roses are coming in. 

 Beauties show a marked improvement. 

 Handsome baskets of cattleyas are ar- 

 riving, mostly labiata, and an ample 

 supply for local needs is expected this 

 week. Gardenias still clean up readily. 

 Cyclamen blooms are in good demand 

 and the plants are doing well. The 

 market for ferns, palms and greens of 

 all kinds is strong. 



Coast Society Meeting. 



At the monthly meeting of the Pa- 

 cific Coast Horticultural Society, the 

 lecture on "Wood Decay," by Profes- 

 sor Home, of the University of Cali- 

 fornia, came early in the evening and 

 was closely attended. A most interest- 

 ing feature of the evening was the ad- 

 mission of a number of prominent mem- 

 bers, whose names had been proposed 

 at the previous meeting. They were 

 Patrick Welch, of Boston; William F. 

 Kasting, of Buffalo; Charles Willis 

 Ward, of Eureka, Cal.; John Morley, 

 superintendent of parks at San Diego, 

 Cal.; Vincent Gorly, of St. Louis; C. B. 

 Knickman, of New York; Frank 

 Shearer, park superintendent of Los 

 Angeles; A. C. Zvolanek, of Lompoc, 

 Cal., and Walter Coles, of Kokomo, Ind. 

 The only new local member was H. Bol- 

 lenhagen. 



The convention committee reported 

 most of the bills for advertising in the 

 ofiicial program paid. Hans Plath, of 

 the flower show committee, urged that 

 members intending to exhibit at the 

 flower show October 21 to 26 should
