to put up a bench for myself at my own 

 expense. Saturday night, when the show 

 closed, we were informed that ao ex- 

 hibit could be removed until Monday 

 morning. While I condemn th« flower 

 show I cannot speak too highly of the 

 display of fruit. I doubt if such a mag- 

 nificent lot of apples was ever before 

 seen. Holders of good stocks of fruit 

 trees, especially apples, would do well 

 to turn their attention to this province. 

 The home supply is not nearly equal to 

 the demand. 



The grounds around the exhibition 

 building were well kept. Mr. Robinson, 

 the gardener in charge, is to be compli- 

 mented. His beds of foliage plants were 

 gay and this is a climate where such a 

 style is not the rule and, moreover, very 

 difficult to manage, as we have not suf- 

 ficient heat in the summer. A free use 

 had been made of Geranium Mme. Sal- 

 leroi, Iresine Lindeni and 1. Herbstii, a 

 green alternanthera and a few other kin- 

 dred subjects. The list available for 

 the purpose in this climate is so small as 

 to deter most people from attempting 

 the task. E. A. W. 



SAN FHANOSCO. 



The Market 



"We have had very warm weather for 

 the past week and flowers have kept 

 poorly in consequence. Outdoor mums 

 have come in with a rush and I am of 

 the opinion that they are not quite as 

 good as those we had a year ago. The 

 growers have kept the prices up thus far, 

 but they will certainly get cheaper in a 

 few days. Indoor mums are selling at 

 from $1 to $2.50 per dozen, with good 

 demand. 



Eoses are still more plentiful than 

 they have been, but the demand, espe- 

 cially for the best stock, is good. Car- 

 nations are also being brought into town 

 in goodly quantities and are being used 

 up clean. Valley is in good supply, also 

 Lilium longiflorum. Smilax is more 

 plentiful, but the majority of it is soft. 

 Cosmos helps to fill up the windows and 

 is about the last of the outdoor stock for 

 this season, as the dahlias and other 

 cheap flowers are nearly over for this 

 year. 



Although there is nothing rushing in 

 the way of business there is a good, 

 steady demand for all kinds of the best 

 quality of stock. 



Various Notes. 



C. G. Keene has opened a floral estab- 

 lishment at the entrance to Mountain 

 View cemetery, Oakland. 



A visit to the nurseries of E. F. Wag- 

 ner, at Elmhurst, shows a big stock of 

 well grown ferns on hand. Mr. Wagner 

 makes a specialty of the various kinds of 

 nephrolepis and has some magnificent 

 specimens, in addition to thousands of 

 smaller plants. 



F. Ludemann is expected home from 

 his extended European trip in a few 

 days. 



D. Greuttner, of Vallejo, was in town 

 this week. 



Domoto Bros, are receiving large con- 

 signments of Japanese stock. They are 

 the largest importers on this coast in 

 that line. 



The commission appointed by the 

 state to select a plant and seed experi- 

 mental station in southern California 

 left for that part this week. 



F. C. Jaeger, the Sutter street florist, 

 reports a good business during the month 

 of September. His show of flowers is 

 one of the sights of his neighborhood. 



Chas. Kruse, of Piedmont, has finished 

 replanting his houses and has everything 

 in ship-shape for a good season's rose 

 cutting. 



Chas. Gardiner will leave this week 

 on a month's trip to Mexico. G. 



SPEC3MEN FOR NAME. 



I send by this mail a piece of a sednm 

 which I believe to be S. spectabile. Please 

 tell me if I am right. . S. J. G. 



The specimen, which we received in a 

 perfectly fresh condition, is Sedum spee- 

 tabile, a very useful September flower- 

 ing perennial. W. N. C 



PLANT FOR NAME. 



I send a small sample, of a flow* 

 ering shrub. Will you be kind enough 

 to classify it for me, as I cannot find 

 anyone who knows what it isf J. 8. 



Either Bougainvillea glabra or B. San- 

 deriana, probably the latter, which is of 

 a bushy, shrub-like habit. The first 

 named is an old and popular greenhouse 

 climber, the latter considerably used at 

 Easter and Decoration day in the large 

 flower centers, more especially at the 

 former festival. W. N. C 



Glendale, O. — Mrs. A. Schmitt is add- 

 ing another greenhouse at the east of 

 her present range. 



Aitkin, Minn. — A. Clarine has his 

 new greenhouses completed, stocked and 

 the heating apparatus completed, ready 

 for business.
