is somewhat scarce. Everyone is look- 

 ing toward Christmas and wondering 

 whether it is to be a record breaker 

 or not. A glance backward at the 

 summary for Thanksgiving confirms the 

 earlier statement that the bulk of the 

 trade equaled that of 1910, but the 

 sales were smaller and more numerous 

 and the principal demands were for 

 less expensive grades of stock. 



Varioiis Notes. 



The Hackel Floral Co. has opened 

 a new store at 127 Powell street and 

 will operate it under the name of the 

 St. Francis Floral Co. 



There is less inclination shown among 

 the retailers to keep their stores closed 

 Sunday afternoons and many of them 

 are falling back to the old-time hours. 



A big trade is being done by out-of- 

 town green goods men in California red 

 berries. At the present time they are 

 selling for about $50 per ton. G. 



BOSES IN CALirOENIA. 



[A paper bv John GUI, of West Berkeley, Cal., 

 read at the convention of the California Associa- 

 tion of Nurserymen, at Los Angeles, CaL, 

 November 23, 1911, concluded from page <4, 

 issue of December 7.] 



The Budding Season. 



After the stocks are planted and 

 growing strongly, the budding season 

 comes around. This is another impor- 

 tant phase. The cutting of buds must 

 be done with great care and precision, 

 and woe to the grower who relaxes his 

 vigilance at this time! Careless help 

 have driven many a nurseryman to dis- 

 traction when he deserved a better fate. 

 The selection of varieties and the quan- 

 tity of each to be worked is another 

 perplexing problem. The fickle public 

 changes its wishes often and without 

 notice. The sort that is popular this 

 season can not be given away next year, 

 and vice versa. We are supposed to 

 know all of this ahead of time and act 

 accordingly. There are quite a number 

 of so-called standard varieties for 

 which there is always a call in limited 

 or fair quantity, but with the bulk of 

 the different kinds it is something of a 

 gamble. 



About budding itself there is little 

 room for argument, but about the mis- 

 takes made after the bud has been 

 inserted a book might be written. Pre- 

 suming that the scions are properly cut 

 and handled and the choice of tying 

 material is right, we must pay atten- 

 tion to the man who ties the strings. 

 Too few wraps, too loose wrapping or 

 carelessness in making a knot ruins 

 many thousands of good materials 

 yearly. Then the growing of the stocks 

 must not be allowed to stop; too much 

 stress can not be laid on this point. 

 There is also the question as to whether 

 the young stocks are to be encouraged 

 by artificial means to shoot out quickly 

 or not. The effect of a possible cold 

 snap or a heavy wind storm must be 

 taken into consideration and the young 

 wood pruned accordingly. These two 

 latter conditions can not be entirely 

 forestalled, and he is indeed lucky who 

 does not lose a good portion of his crop 

 occasionally by some of these happen- 

 ings. But, barring accidents and under 

 usual condition8,/the buds are ready for 

 inspection in a few weeks after bud- 

 ding. If all points are right there 

 should be no failure greater than one 

 per cent, and this has been our record 

 for many years. Occasionally we get 

 poor scions of some new variety from
