PACIFIC COAST. 



THE SAN RAFAEL SHOW. 



The first of the fall exhibitions in 

 that section of California was that of 

 the Marin County Horticultural Society, 

 at San Bafael, October 24. This was by 

 far the largest and most successful affair 

 ever given by this society, and the spe- 

 cimens shown have never been equalled 

 in Marin county. 



The largest and finest single display 

 in the hall was that of Jas. Niven, gar- 

 dener to H. E. Bothin, of Boss. His 

 showing was most artistically arranged 

 and composed of the finest begonias and 

 chrysanthemums ever seen here. The 

 former were from bulbs imported from 

 Blackmore & Langdon, Bath, England, 

 and many of the blooms reached eight 

 inches in diameter. For these Mr. Niven 

 received the society's special award, as 

 well as first prize for the best seedling 

 chrysanthemums and several first prizes 

 ;for chrysanthemums in pots. 



The largest collection of roses shown 

 was that of E. Gill, of West Berkeley, 

 who exhibited 100 late blooming sorts. 

 H. Schluter, of the Laurel Grove Nurs- 

 ery, San Bafael, had a large showing of 

 decorative plants in pots. 



J. A. Carbone, of Berkeley, received 

 first prize on carnations and also on 

 outdoor roses. 



A. W. Foster received first prize for 

 six dahlia blooms, while the silver cup 

 for the largest collection of dahUas was 

 awarded to Geo. A. Pope. 



P. Uhlmann, gardener to M. H. 

 De Young, received several fitst prizes 

 for mums and dahlias, and B. Lohrmann, 

 gardener to A. W. Foster, made several 

 splendid exhibits and captured several 

 first prizes. 



The judges for the show were John 

 McLaren, of Golden Gate park, San 

 Francisco; S. Clack, of Mayfield, and T. 

 Wood, of San Mateo. 



This was considered a very successful 

 show and the society will give a much 

 larger spring exhibition at the same place 

 next year. G.

The Market 



Business is unusually quiet, the general 

 opinion being that it is owing to the 

 presidential election. Flowers of all 

 kinds are plentiful, owing to the light 

 demand and the favorable weather. 

 Carnations are being brought into town 

 in large quantities and sold at low prices. 

 Boses are in much the same condition, 

 although the quality throughout is not 

 as good as with the carnations. Violets 

 are the best selling article the retailer 

 has at this time and the price the stores 

 pay is 75 cents per dozen bunches. 

 Sweet peas are completely out of season. 

 A few early Paper White narcissi are 

 shown and valley is practically a glut. 

 Smilax is now of sufficient length to be 

 of some value to the decorator and

asparagus is scarcer than it has been at 

 any time this season. Other kinds of 

 hardy outdoor stock are of little value, 

 owing to the lateness of the season. 



Mums are now at their best and are 

 the most popular flowers by long odds. 

 They are selling much better than any 

 other kinds of stock and the public is 

 using them almost exclusively for any 

 and all occasions. The prices are about 

 equal to those of one year ago. 



Various Notes. 



F. E. Olmstead has been appointed 

 deputy commissioner of forestry, with

 J. Meyer, of Burlingame, has taker, 

 charge of the grounds of Wm. Babcock,

H. E. Bothin, of Boss Station, will

 rose house. 



Geo. Walters, the veteran gardener of 

 Marin county, who has been in delicate 

 health for quite a time, is reported to be 

 on the mend. 



The estate of Wm. J. Landers, late 

 president of the California Nursery Co., 

 at Niles, has been appraised at $247,000.

WASHINGTON. 



The Market 



While we have had a decided change 

 in the weather, the killing frosts, which 

 would be so welcome, have not material- 

 ized as yet. Business is about on a 

 par with last week ; plenty of good stock, 

 with carnations coming much better. 

 There is a glut of mums. Hallowe'en 

 called for the usual window displays, 

 pumpkins of every size. Jack-o'-lantern 

 faces filled with flowers, etc. Shaffer's 

 window had a background of corn stalks, 

 with a witch with a pumpkin head, and 

 several comic faced pumpkins and chry 

 santhemums. Gude's had a pumpkin 

 made of yellow mums, with a face worked 

 with pompon mums.

 meeting at Mr. Grillbortzer 's place. Mr. 

 Dolphin, J. Talbot, E. J. Lacey, M. 

 Marche and L. L. Kennely were elected 

 to membership. The committee on 

 flower show reported progress. Mr. 

 Mayberry was made chairman of the re- 

 ception committee and Mr. Bobinson of 

 the awards committee. 



Mr. Hammer called the attention of 

 the club to the new building regulations 

 and wanted to take the matter up before 

 it became a law, as it will cause con- 

 siderable trouble to the greenhouse men 

 inside the city limits. Quite a discussion 

 followed on the trouble experienced by 

 outside men getting permits to do plant- 

 ing. The limit was reached when Hon- 

 est John Eobinson stated that at present 

 he was planting some trees on a plumber's 

 permit. 



After a neat address by Mr. Grill- 

 bortzer, he invited the members to ad- 

 journ to his new packing room and 

 potting shed, to participate in an oyster 

 roast. The rooms were tastefully dJecor- 

 ated with flags and foliage and the table?
