LEADING RETAIL FLORISTS 



The retail florists, whose cords appear on this and the two foitowioi pages, ore prepored to fill orders from other florists for local deliveiy oi the usual 



basis. If you wish to be represented under this headiog, now is the time to place your order.

colors are seen everywhere. They do 

 not bring as much money as they did for 

 the growers last season and the demand 

 seems to be lighter. Coreopsis, gaillar- 

 dias, etc., fill in nicely, but the majority 

 of them find their way to the garbage 

 can. 



Business is about as quiet as it can be 

 and retain its identity. Funerals are all 

 that the retailers have to contend with 

 and they do not prove very formidable 

 propositions, either. Compared with last 

 season, June of this year easily fell off 

 thirty-three per cent in the volume of 

 business done. Many of the retailers 

 cut down help considerably and, as a 

 consequence, there are many idle clerks 

 in town. The continued cool weather, 

 however, will drive the city folks back 

 into town early this year, and there is a 

 possibility that fall trade may open ear- 

 lier than usual on that account. 



Various Notes. 



Peter N. Schlentz, of Chicago, is on a 

 visit to San Francisco. He expects to 

 remain here for some weeks. 



Clarke Bros., of Fruitvale, are busy 

 changing some of their carnation houses. 

 Most of their stock is off crop at pres- 

 ent. 



J. M. Holland has opened a new floral 

 establishment on Piedmont avenue, Oak- 

 land. 



Hutchings & James have completed a 

 large greenhouse, to be devoted to fern 

 growing, at the Elmhurst nursery. 



H. IJkai has leased his greenhouses at 

 Golden Gate to a Japanese firm and will 

 devote his entire time to his Elmhurst 

 nurseries. G. 



CHICO, CAL. 



W. W. Tracy, of Washington, D. C, 

 has been appointed to succeed August 

 Mayer as chief of the Plant Introduction 

 Garden at this place. Mr. Mayer, who 

 was in charge during the last eighteen 

 months, has been transferred to Arling- 

 ton, Va., and will be the head of the 

 horticultural department of the govern- 

 ment gardens there. 



Mr. Tracy was in Chico two years 

 ago, prosecuting work in the vegetable 

 pathological department. He is the third 

 head to be in charge of Uncle Sam's 

 gardens, where are conducted experi- 

 ments of importance to the entire coun- 

 try, with plants from all parts of the 

 globe. P. H, Dorsett was the first chief, 

 upon whom fell the work of breaking 

 the first sod, and after making an envi- 

 able record of achievement he entered 

 a private floral enterprise at Washington, 

 D. C, where financial returns are greater. 

 August Mayer succeeded him and con- 

 ducted with success several important 

 experiments. The work is now at the 

 stage where results are being obtained 

 and a splendid work is ahead of the 

 new chief.
