amount of moisture. They naturally 

 have a long resting season and when 

 there is a superabundance of moisture 

 at this time the bulbs deteriorate at a 

 wonderful speed and if there is any- 

 thing left for the following season they 

 are generally so weak that they amount 

 to nothing. 



Although both the hyacinths and 

 tulips grow naturally in a climate even 

 colder than that of California, with 

 much more moisture in the summer, it 

 is a fact, as I have already stated, that 

 they should be grown in a bed entirely 

 by themselves, when their allotment of 

 water could be regulated. Where this 

 is done and the soil is not of too heavy 

 a nature there is no difficulty in grow- 

 ing them with excellent results. Culti- 

 vation between the rows appears to 

 be one of the best factors to induce 

 a growth of new bulblets, and I have 

 seen Boman hyacinths grown here from 

 transplanted bulblets that were much 

 larger than anything we are able to 

 import. With narcissi and daffodils the 

 same rule applies, and to have really 

 good success with them they should be 

 kept away from moisture during their 

 resting season. G. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market 



The weather continues dry and warm. 

 Business is fair, although a good down- 

 pour would liven things up. Flowers 

 continue plentiful, with the exception 

 of violets. Mums continue to be the 

 most popular flower and the price has 

 fallen a little. Boses are not plenti- 

 ful.,. Maid is the only variety shown 

 in quantity. They cost the retailers 

 from 50 cents to $1 per dozen. Carna- 

 tions are fully up to the quality and 

 are becoming more plentiful. Valley is 

 scarcer, as are longiflorums. Sweet peas 

 are getting very short of stem. Other 

 outside stock has almost disappeared, 

 although some of the growers are bring- 

 ing in good cuttings of gaiUardias, stocks 

 and cornflowers. Maidenhair fern is be- 

 coming shorter and smilax longer. Other 

 greens continue in good supply.

The third annual flower show, held 

 in the large tent of the Menlo Park 

 Horticultural Society, was a great suc- 

 cess in every point except attendance. 

 About the center-poles of the tent were 

 the plant groups competing for the M. 

 Lynch memorial medals. Premiums on 

 these were awarded in the order named, 

 to J. B. Coryell, Andrew McDonald, 

 gardener; J, H. Meyer, John Hansen, 

 gardener, and J. L. Flood, Hector Mac- 

 Lean, gardener. Each of these exhib- 

 itors had other winning collections and 

 specimen plants. There was a large 

 showing of dahlias from G. A. Pope 

 and W. A. Crocker, of Burlingame; D. 

 V; Tattle, of Woodside, and Timothy 

 Hopkins. Augustus Taylor had a fine 

 lot of tuberous begonias. Thos. Mcln- 

 tyre, grower for C; W. Smith, took most 

 of the prizes for cut chrysanthemums 

 with a largo display. In the commer- 

 cial section, Sidney Clack carried off 

 all firsts on roses. On carnations, F. 

 Mills and J. L. Flood divided honors.
