their houses and this fact accounts for 

 the conditions in this neighborhood. 

 Asters are much scarcer and also of 

 poor quality. Mums are daily becoming 

 more plentiful, but up to this time we 

 have had mostly inside flowers. The 

 outside stock will not be at its best for 

 several weeks yet. 



Valley is scarce. Violets are both 

 scarce and poor; they lack the moist 

 atmosphere and will have neither firm- 

 ness nor color until the weather 

 changes. Orchids are in about suffi- 

 cient supply to cover demands. Jap- 

 anese lilies are not plentiful. All the 

 early varieties of amaryllis are out of 

 blossom and the later blooming kinds 

 are in full blast. Dahlias and gladioli 

 are commencing to show the lateness of 

 the season. Other kinds of stock are 

 about as usual. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Felix Eosaia, of Seattle, 

 Wash., are in town for a short visit. 



A visit to the houses of Clarke Bros., 

 at Fruitvale, shows everything in good 

 shape for the coming season. The 

 houses of carnations and roses look 

 especially thrifty. 



Angelo Baldocchi, of Podesta & 

 Baldocchi, died in this city, September 

 .{. Further particulars will be found 

 in the obituary column. 



E. L. Werner, formerly of St. Louis, 

 Mo., is in town. He is well pleased 

 with this part of California and will 

 l)robably locate here permanently. 



Frank H. Wilson, the well known 

 Fresno nurseryman, is in town on a 

 pleasure trip. He is accompanied by 

 his wife. 



J. M. Holland, for many years in the 

 retail trade in Berkeley, will shortly 

 open a store on Shattuck avenue, in 

 that town. 



J. P. Nissen, landscape gardener 

 with the Cragmont Land Co., of Berke- 

 ley, has left that firm and will devote 

 his time to general landscape work. 



Andrew Bartz, a well known land- 

 scape gardener, was severely injured by 

 the bursting of a boiler on the grounds 

 of A. B. Spreckles, Napa, Cal., and has 

 brought suit against his former em- 

 ployer for $5,250, for damages sus- 

 tained. G. 



NAME OF HYDRANGEA. 



I shall be glad if you can let me 

 know the name of a hardy hydrangea 

 which flowers about the same time as 

 H. arborescens grandiflora alba, but 

 has foliage of a darker green shade 

 and less cordate in shape. The trusses 

 are not quite so large and the indi- 

 vidual bracts are smaller and narrower, 

 and in many cases are in threes, while 

 in the grandiflora alba they are, with 

 us, in fours and fives. Does this de-, 

 scription apply to H. cinerea sterilisf 

 J. W. M. 



The hydrangea to which you refer is 

 probably H. radiata, also called cinerea. 

 The leaves of this variety are whitish 

 and the cymes have sterile flowers. 

 This flowers at practically the same 

 time as H. arborescens grandiflora 

 nivea. C. W. 



Bowerston, C— J. G. Gamble has 

 found his greenhouse space inadequate 

 this season and has omitted his usual 

 crop of lettuce in order to be able to 

 supply the increasing demand for cut 

 flowers. He has planted his lettuce 

 house with carnations. He is planning 

 to build more houses next season.
