weather, are not suitable for outside 

 growing unless in a specially warm and 

 dry situation. 



Beturning to palms, I might add that 

 Cycas revoluta is not aflfected by frost 

 here, nor is Corypha Australia usually. 



Care must be taken with small plants 

 of bougainvillea, jasmine, lantana, man- 

 devilla and bignonia until the second 

 season. With flowering plants, unless 

 the season turns especially cold, large 

 geraniums, heliotropes and marguerites, 

 when planted in the ground, are safe, 

 but small plants in pots should be 

 housed. Aehyranthes, alternantheras, 

 salvias, lobelias and material of that de- 

 scription, when in a sheltered place will 

 not be killed, but if there is too much 

 moisture they will hardly survive. It is 

 the superabundance of water in the win- 

 ter time that destroys more of our small 

 plants than does the cold nights. G. 



PASADENA, CAL. 



Albert Zimmerman, who has been su- 

 perintendent of the Pasadena city parks 

 for the past three years, having re- 

 signed the position, the commissioners 

 have appointed Jacob Albrecht to suc- 

 ceed him. 



The Park Nursery Co. has just moved 

 its office and salesyard from 158 West 

 Colorado street, where they have been 

 located for the past sixteen years, to 

 190 West Colorado street. They have 

 also removed a portion of their lath 

 house and greenhouses to the rear of 

 the property at the new address. The 

 balance of the houses are to be taken 

 to the nursery one mile east of Pasa- 

 dena. 



The Pasadena Gardeners' Association 

 is flourishing and holds meetings the 

 first and third Friday evenings of each 

 month in G. A. E. hall. 



SAN FRANOSCX). 



The Market 



The weather has turned very warm 

 and San Franciscans are having their 

 first spell of summer. Flowers of almost 

 all kinds are very scarce, carnations and 

 roses because of the changing of stock, 

 and other material principally because 

 it is between seasons. Asters are gone 

 and chrysanthemums are not yet in full 

 blast. Lilium album and rubrum are al- 

 most out of season, longiflorums are 

 scarce and auratums have entirely dis- 

 appeared. Valley is in good supply at 

 $4 per hundred. Sweet peas are, owing 

 to the warm weather, more plentiful 

 again, although the stems are generally 

 very short. Smilax is getting longer of 

 string, and asparagus and maidenhair 

 hold their own. 



Gladioli, dahlias and other cheap flow- 

 ers are almost out of market. Everyone 

 is waiting patiently for mums to get 

 cheap. 



Business outside of funeral work is 

 very slow, although the wholesalers are 

 having no trouble to dispose of every- 

 thing they have. 



Variout Notes. 



W. W. Saunders, the Fresno bulb 

 grower, is in town. Mr. Saunders will 

 remove his entire stock from Golden 

 Gate to Fresno. 



Thomas Shickler, employed for many 

 years as gardener to Mrs. Stanford, at 

 Palo Alto, committed suicide at Covelo 

 September 18. He was a native of Aus- 

 tria and 42 years of age.
