trade, however, as it helped other lines 

 whieh had received little attention in 

 competition with the great variety of 

 exceUent mums. 



Many dahlias were used for show 

 purposes also, and this, together with 

 the shortage of first-class mums, made 

 them clean up closely. Pompons are 

 being handled in great quantities, but 

 there is no evidence of a surplus in any 

 quarter from day to day. They show 

 good quality and largely take the place 

 of the small summer stock, which is 

 gradually going out. 



Carnations are beginning to come in 

 more freely and the quality is fairly 

 good. They are carefully graded and 

 the better blooms bring good prices. 



Violets are more plentiful, but they 

 continue to clean up readily, as the 

 shipping demand is gradually improv- 

 ing. Some of the shippers are still 

 holding off, however, claiming that the 

 violets are too soft yet to ship to ad- 

 vantage. Boses are more plentiful 

 than for some time and the average 

 quality is better. Hadley, Ward and 

 Bussell make a good showing. Some 

 nice Ophelia are arriving. More Cecile 

 Brunner could be used, and long- 

 stemmed Beauties are still scarce, 

 though there are plenty of Eichmond, 

 Killarney, Maryland and Sunburst. 

 Orchids meet the demand and the sup- 

 ply of gardenias is equal to the call for 

 them. 



Horticultural Day at Fair. 



Horticultural day at the exposition, 

 October 21, was the occasion of the fall 

 flower show, held under the auspices of 

 the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society 

 in conjunction with the Chrysanthemum 

 Society of America and the Depart- 

 ment of Horticulture of the Panama- 

 Pacific Exposition. The day was 

 crowded with attractions and special 

 features. One hundred thousand pack- 

 ages of flower and vegetable seeds were 

 given away, as well as about 50,000 cut 

 dahlias, 3,000 potted ferns, 2,000 cans 

 of preserved fruits, 1,000 baskets of 

 apples and grapes and 1,000 bottles of 

 olive oil. There were concerts by 

 seven brass bands and by Hawaiian, 

 Spanish and American singers. A 

 large section of the Palace of Horti- 

 culture was given over to the flower 

 show displays. A splendid showing 

 was made the first day, chrysanthemums 

 being the principal feature. This was 

 by far the finest display of these flow- 

 ers ever presented on the Pacific coast. 

 Visitors crowded the building all day, 

 and the show section remained open 

 until 11 o'clock in the evening. Work- 

 ing in conjunction with Manager H. 

 Plath was an exhibition committee con- 

 sisting of John McLaren, Daniel Mac- 

 Borie, T. Taylor, Frank Pelicano, E. 

 James, Angelo J. Eossi, D. Baymond, 

 W. A. Hofinghoff, Donald McLaren, 

 William Kettlewell, William Munro, 

 John B. Fotheringham, P. EUings and 

 M. Poss. The show lasted six days, 

 each day having its special contests and 

 entertainment features. Competition 

 for the prizes was keen.
