hundred for the best stock. Mums of 

 the earlier yellow varieties are coming 

 into town in small quantities. They sell 

 wholesale at from $1 to $2.50 per dozen. 

 Another week will make quite a differ- 

 ence, from all appearances. 



Amaryllis are a glut at present; $2 

 per hundred is the ruling price. Lilium 

 album and rubrum are scarcer than they 

 have been. The price averages from 

 $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen. Valley is in 

 good supply and moves slowly. Sweet 

 peas are rather short of stem in most 

 instances, and good stock is quickly 

 bought up. The price averages about $1 

 per dozen bunches. Other lands of out- 

 side stock can be had at any price. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Charlotte Williams, our well- 

 known decorator, had the big Schilling 

 decoration in Oakland on Thursday of 

 last week. 



Alexander Frey has returned from a 

 two weeks' trip to Los Angeles and San 

 Diego. G. 



VICTORIA, B. C 



Hortictfltural Society. 



On August 12 and 13 the Victoria 

 Horticultural Society held its seventh an- 

 nual summer show. Trade exhibits were 

 slim. The Lansdowne Floral Co., how- 

 ever, showed perennials; Flewin's Gar- 

 dens showed perennials, bulbs and ferns, 

 and James Simpson, the latest addition 

 to our ranks, showed sweet peas. 



The feature of the show was the sweet 

 pea exhibits of the amateurs. The hon- 

 ors fell to Mrs. H. Beavan and W. C. 

 Newberry. Forgive me, Mr. Editor, if 

 I be overenthusiastic over these peas, but 

 had you been here yourself your pane- 

 gyric would have been louder and longer. 

 We claim that nowhere in the world can 

 such peas be seen — stand after stand 

 with stems sixteen to twenty inches long 

 and four and even five huge flowers on 

 a stem. The variety Mrs. Henry Bell 

 was in one stand, with five flowers on 

 each of the twenty stems exhibited. This 

 is a new pea, with pink and cream 

 coloring. 



Take heed, ye wise ones! Let me 

 whisper a name in your ear — Audrey 

 Crier. This is the best yet. The lady 

 who put up a lovely vase of this pea 

 told me she paid 10 cents per seed for 

 it, and was more than satisfied. 



St. George is a wondrous color, some- 

 what like Evelyn Byatt, but of fine 

 size. Elsie Herbert is a blush Spencer 

 of fine size and strong. Etta Dyke is a 

 fine white, with ruffled standards; it 

 will probably beat Nora Unwin. Helen 

 Lewis and George Herbert are still the 

 best in their color. Mrs. Collier seems 

 to be the favorite yellow, but Clara 

 Curtis was well shown. A. J. Cook is a

 Piej*ce myself. 



Some of these names are probably un- 

 known to many readers, but in this city 

 we fairly revel in sweet peas, and he 

 who cannot produce the newest must take 

 a back seat. 



Various Notes. 



Flewin's Gardens have bought out 

 WoUaston & Wallace, the bulb growers, 

 and will carry on the business as a re- 

 tail concern only at present, as regards 

 bulbs. 



Carnations are now about replanted, 

 though the price of flowers is still 25 

 cents per dozen. E. A. W.
