The Weekly Florists' Review*

ciety. In this connection President J. W. 

 Bagge appointed a committee on sug- 

 gestion. 



The meeting also tested a new seed- 

 ling pear originated by the late John 

 Rock, of the California Nursery Co., at 

 Niles. It has been named Winter Bart- 

 lett, and in quality, size and flavor the 

 meeting declared it unexcelled by any 

 pear known to the trade, and voted it a 

 certificate of merit. It will be placed on 

 the market by the California Nursery Co. 

 in the near future. 



The meeting also adopted a resolution 

 of thanks to W. S. Tevis, of Burlingame, 

 for the exceptionally pleasant outing he 

 tendered the society the last Saturday 

 in October. To this there were upward 

 of 100 members, and a goodly delegation 

 of the Society Hortensia of Oakland. 

 When they arrived in their two electric 

 cars at the end of an hour's ride it was 

 eleven o'clock, and Superintendent Mey- 

 ers, of the Tevis estate, was at the de- 

 pot with plenty of vehicles to carry them 

 to the Tevis mansion, where a repast was 

 served, including unlimited quantities of 

 beer, wine and lemonade. Following 

 this, the guests were told that the place 

 was all their own for the day. And for 

 nearly four hours they found pleasure in 

 visiting the conservatories, the orchard 

 and extensive grounds. At four o'clock 

 they assembled again in the great din- 

 ing room of the mansion and did justice 

 to coffee and cakes and made speeches. 

 On behalf of the P. C. H. S. President 

 Bagge offered thanks, and interesting 

 remarks were made by F. Luaemann, H. 

 Plath, T. F. Taylor and Mr. Eldred, all 

 prominent growers.

The Market 



We were treated to a few showers in 

 the early part of last week, but the 

 weather has turned warm again and we 

 are having tropical days. The effect is 

 to make all classes of stock, with the 

 possible exception of violets, very plenti- 

 ful. The chrysanthemums are now in 

 the height of their season and, although 

 they are not quite as good as they were 

 last season, they have improved since 

 last week's showers. The price, too, has 

 advanced somewhat and the growers 

 have nothing to complain of. With in- 

 door stock the demand is only fair. 1 

 do not think anything is being sacrificed, 

 however. Prices are about the same as 

 those received by the growers a year 

 ago. 



Quantities of short-stemmed carnations 

 and roses are being brought into town 

 and these do not bring good prices. For 

 fancy stock, however, the demand is ex- 

 ceUent. Violets cost the retailers $1 per 

 dozen bunches. Valley has been scarce 

 for the last ten days, although some of 

 our largest growers will be cutting heav- 

 ily in a week or two, and prices may 

 drop a little. 



Smilax and green stock of all kinds are 

 plentiful. A few red berries are seen 

 on the streets, but we have not as yet 

 had any frosty weather to brighten them. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Lewis, for many years in the 

 nursery business in California, has re- 

 turned from a long trip to the eastern 

 states. 



Thos. Wooten, a well-known landscape 

 gardener of Oakland, died October 20. 

 Mr. Wooten was a native of England 

 and 49 years of age. He leaves a $15,000

NKW PINK CARNATION POR 1907

 faint yellowish cast; several shades lighter than the L.aw-

 Htema Invariably strong, but always graceful, rang- 

 ing from 12 to 30 inches dunng the season. Habtt, 

 etc.— A very quick, active grower, making specimen 

 plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. On ac- 

 count of its rapid growth, requires supporting very 

 soon after benching. Gets away rapidly, blooms early 

 and gives long stems ri^ht from the start. Prodact> 

 Iveneaa — Prodigious is the best word we know of to

 late, we have ever grown. Stock limited. Delivery
