I made a tour this week among some 

 of the sweet pea, aster and chrysanthe- 

 mum growers in the neighborhood of 

 San Mateo and Burlingame, to see what 

 change had taken place on the hundreds 

 of acres devoted to the growing of these 

 flowers. I found in many cases the own- 

 ers had taken advantage of the June 

 rains and were marketing many thou- 

 sands of bunches daily. They complained 

 that It IS not a paying proposition to 

 cultivate and artificially water their 

 stocks after this time, owing to the fact 

 that the market is so limited and the 

 prices received so low. From 35 cents 

 to 50 cents per dozen bunches is the 

 pnce received at present. 



With asters, as far as I can learn 

 there will be marketed about half a 

 crop; certainly not more than that. The

heavy rains have again in this instance 

 been a godsend, as it saved the watering 

 of growing plants for a space of a month 

 at least. I can say the same about the 

 chrysanthemum crop, regarding quantity 

 that will be grown. Fully half the acre- 

 age has been abandoned and the balance 

 looks well and will undoubtedly be han- 

 dled for the fall and winter trade. 



For indoor stock, both roses and car- 

 nations are in poor demand this week. 

 There was a very fair call for them for 

 Memorial day, both tor shipping and for 

 local trade, but since then the prices 

 asked have dwindled so much that the 

 sum of .$5 will easily fill all the vases in 

 an ordinary sized floral establishment, 

 and fully equip the retailer for the day's 

 business. 



Many of the growers who immediately 

 after the fire concluded to let their 

 houses dry up have reconsidered and will 



fif ^°* V,"^ ^'^*^ ^ S"^*^ ^0* o^ stock for 

 the fall, no matter what the summer 

 business may amount to. I hope they 

 will be well repaid for their faith in 

 the readjustment of business matters in 

 the town of Frisco. 



Variotis Notes. 



D. Gruettner, of Vallejo, was in town 

 this week. Mr. Gruettner has given up 

 his store and will in future devote him- 

 self to his nursery trade. 



R. D. Hunter, of the Germain Seed 

 Co., Los Angeles, spent several days here 

 and will depart for a trip in the north- 

 ern part of the state in a day or two. 



The Cox Seed Co. has completed the 

 first seed warehouse on the Glen Echo 

 grounds. It is 35x150 feet and will be 

 devoted to vegetable and grass seeds. 



C. M. Robinson, of Rochester, N. Y., 

 the well known norticultural engineer, 

 has submitted to the city council of 

 Oakland his recently completed plans 

 for the beautifying of the city. 



M. Theodore Kearney, of Fresno, re- 

 cently deceased and well known as one 

 of the most enthusiastic patrons of the 

 garuening interests, has willed to the 

 horticultural and viticultural departments 

 of the University of California about 

 $750,000. 



Considerable money has been lost by 

 the growers of i^ilium longiflorum this 

 season. There is usually a good demand 

 at this time and many of the whole- 

 salers had large plantings ready to mar- 

 ket. The extremely low prices have 

 played havoc with the profits. 



The town of Alameda supports about 

 half a dozen floral establishments. There 

 has been a good demand for funeral 

 work and several of the dealers report 

 that the business done during the month 

 of June was the largest in the history of 

 tue town. 



The Misses Lacy, of Fruitvale, have 

 a magnificent showing of gladioli and 

 Japanese iris on their grounds. G. 



LOOMIS, CAL. 



A. Mitting sold his interest in the 

 California Carnation Co. June 2, to his 

 partner in that enterprise, H. L. Mc- 

 Gowan. 



Mr. Mitting has removed to Soquel, 

 Cal., and is establishing there the West- 

 ern Carnation Co. At Santa Cruz he is 

 interested in the California Wholesale 

 Florists Co. He expects to do a large 

 business in the course of time at these 

 favorable locations.
