of the death of his wife, from career, 

 at San Diego, where they have "been 

 living for several years. Mrs. Slack 

 was a most energetic and pleasing help- 

 meet, to Mr. Slack and he will have 

 the sympathy of a host of friends. He 

 has had charge of the rose garden in 

 Balboa park, San Diego, for some time, 

 and in a letter to the writer he speaks 

 well of the kind treatment he has re- 

 ceived from John Morley and other 

 officials in his bereavement. 



The annual chrysanthemum show was 

 opened in the new clubhouse of the 

 Santa Monica Woman's Club, at Santa 

 Monica, October 14. "While the num- 

 ber of exhibits in the amateur classes 

 folp chrysanthemums was not large, the 

 quality was distinctly good and some 

 of the prize-winning blooms would 

 have taken a high place in any compe- 

 tition. The trade exhibits were espe- 

 cially good. Walter Armacost had the 

 front of the stage decorated, showing 

 chrysanthemums in large vases, and a 

 beautifully arranged display of roses 

 in baskets. These consisted of popu- 

 lar varieties and novelties, fine baskets 

 of Hoosier Beauty, September Morn, 

 Prima Donna and others. The most 

 prominent exhibit was a large crescent- 

 shaped group from the Germain Seed 

 & Plant Co., of Los Angeles. The ex- 

 hibit was splendidly staged by the 

 firm's nursery foreman, John Eobert- 

 son. The prominent plants were clean, 

 healthy specimens of Araucaria Bid- 

 willii and fine kentias, bays and New 

 Zealand flax, boldly arranged. Smaller 

 kentias, ferns and foliage plants, inter- 

 spersed with flowering plants and 

 vases of the newer cannas, were used 

 to outline the group. Large vases of 

 chrysanthemums helped the general ef- 

 fect, which was extremely telling. A 

 table of dahlias was put up by the 

 same firm, consisting of many stand- 

 ard kinds and novelties, the new Belle 

 Pauli sent out last year being much ad- 

 mired. Mrs. W. F. Laurie, of Pasa- 

 dena, showed a large table of dahlias, 

 including a number of the newer col- 

 larette types, which merited and re- 

 ceived many encomiums from visitors. 

 The Golden State Nursery had a group 

 of foliage and berried plants and Miss 

 Sadie Thomas, of Pasadena, showed 

 several novelties in chrysanthemums. 

 At the time of writing it is too early 

 to say anything about the attendance, 

 but there was already a lively crowd 

 before the judging was finished. 

 W. W. Felgate, H. R. Richards and 

 John Robertson officiated as judges.

The Market. 



There has been a good run of busi- 

 ness. Social events have taken large 

 quantities of flowers and the funerals 

 of several prominent people have used 

 all the surplus stock. Carnations still 

 are scarce. Remembering the oversup- 

 ply of carnations Idst year, carnation 

 growers have held back their crops. 

 Chrysanthemums are the most conspicu- 

 ous flowers in the window displays. The 

 first home-grown Chrysoloras and sev- 

 eral varieties of pompons have ap- 

 peared. The supply of home-grown 

 violets has increased and the quality 

 has improved. The first Lorraine be- 

 gonias are shown. Cyclamens are be- 

 •oming more plentiful.
