ception of American Beauty, are in suffi- 

 cient supply to meet requirements. 

 Mums are the flower in most demand. 

 The outdoor stock, although not quite as 

 plentiful as a year ago, is handled by 

 the thousands daily. The stems do not 

 seem to be as good as we are accustomed 

 to see, but the prices are a shade better. 

 Sweet peas hold their own very well and 

 still cost the stores $1 per dozen bunches. 

 Violets are only in fair supply and will 

 not be more plentiful until we have some 

 rain. Valley and Lilium longiflorum are 

 limited, but as long as mums remain 

 plentiful the retailers will not worry 

 much. 



Variotis Notes. 



Eugene Hoffman, of Palo Alto, is at 

 present laying out a park for the town 

 of Redwood. 



Chas. Wiedersheim, for many years 

 proprietor of a floral establishment in 

 Oakland, but now a resident of Sonoma 

 county, is in town on a short visit. 



John Young, of the Dwight Way Nur- 

 series, Berkeley, has a splendid crop of 

 Maids and Brides at this writing. 



The Holland Nursery Co., of Elmhurst, 

 has an extra fine cut of early mums. 

 They have made a specialty of valley 

 heretofore, but will in future grow car- 

 nations and mums as well. 



Mrs. M. Powell, wife of A. Powell, 

 one of Oakland's pioneer landscape gar- 

 deners, died on October 17. 



The Society of Hortensia, at its regu- 

 lar bi-monthly meeting, discussed a 

 spring bulb exhibition, but no definite 

 action was taken. 



P. J. Keller, of Oakland, has com- 

 pleted two houses 25x100 feet each, on 

 his grounds near Mountain View ceme- 

 tery. 



P. Watlinger, of Golden Gate, will

 ing season. 



Considerable interest is being shown 

 by the growers in the forthcoming fall 

 exhibition in the Ferry building, and it 

 is very probable that it will be the larg- 

 est show ever held here. 



All our wandering florists are coming 

 back to town. There was quite an exodus 

 of the fraternity to the Lewis and Qark 

 Exposition. The only diversion now is 

 the opening of the wild duck season, and 

 as we have several enthusiastic sports- 

 men in our ranks a good many "bags" 

 may be expected. G. 



SIZE OF BOILER. 



We have three houses 18x70, ten feet
