are some fair Prima Donnas and some 

 good Killarneys and "White Killarneys. 

 Gladiolus America is still one of the 

 best staples of the flower market, and 

 dahlias are in abundance, particularly 

 Minnie Burgle. There were not so many 

 cactus dahlias last week as we have 

 been having, probably on account of 

 the heavy demand made on this one 

 variety. There is a profusion of scabi- 

 osas- in fact, they are used more than 

 any other flower for a filler at this sea- 

 son and it must be said to the credit 

 of our growers of outdoor flowers that 

 they have made wonderful strides in 

 the perfection of flowers easily culti- 

 vated outdoors. Large-sized zinnias 

 are being used extensively for basket 

 work. Some of the blooms are fully six 

 inches in diameter, and the pastel 

 shades seem to be growing more and 

 more the fad among the women folk. 

 Cecile Brunner roses, especially the 

 outdoor grown ones, are in good supply, 

 and good liberal bunches are being re- 

 tailed at 25 cents a bunch. The bunches 

 of sweet peas are getting larger instead 

 of smaller, but we notice that the stems 

 are considerably shorter, this being the 

 second crop. Lilium auratum and longi- 

 florum make an excellent showing at 

 this writing, but there is no great quan- 

 tity of them available. Cattleyas are in 

 short supply. A few of our growers 

 bringing in late gigas find them quickly 

 bought up. Phalsenopsis are practically 

 unavailable; a few Cattleya Mendel- 

 lii still hang on. Gardenias are be- 

 coming more and more an article of de- 

 mand in the west, and several of our 

 growers are going into the culture of 

 gardenias more heavily than in seasons 

 heretofore. 



Joint Outing. 



The joint annual outing of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society and the Re- 

 tail Florists' Association was held 

 Sunday, July 27, at Grand Canyon park, 

 Richmond. The attendance was close to 

 700, and it was a good, jolly crowd. 



Daniel Raymond, who represents the 

 Garden City Pottery Co.; Peter Ferrari, 

 a local grower, and H. Plath, president 

 of the Pacific Coast Horticultural So- 

 riety, were untiring in their efforts to 

 push the affair to a success, and they 

 certainly made a good job of it. 



In addition to a hotly contested base- 

 ball game between the growers and the 

 retail florists, there was dancing to the 

 tune of a brass band of ten, picnicking 

 and a general frolic. When the final 

 gate receipts are reported, there is no 

 doubt that there will be a neat balance 

 !^ ''^<^^vi<5ed between the treasuries of 

 the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society 

 and the Retail Florists' Association.
