to $3 per dozen, a more popular grade 

 sells from $6 to $12 per hundred, small 

 flowers at lower rates. Among other 

 varieties now seen, in addition to the 

 regular earlies, are Virginisy Poehlmann, 

 Gloria, Ivory, William Duckham and 

 Pacific Supreme. The last named is 

 popular, selling much better than Glory 

 of Pacific. Eoses sell only moderately 

 well. They are more abundant and of 

 good quality. Killarney and White 

 Killarney are easy leaders. Mrs. Aaron 

 Ward ia forging to the front. Beauties 

 are quite good. Bride and Maid had 

 to move. Carnations are a little lower. 

 While stems are improving, the major- 

 ity are yet quite short. 



Lilies are rather more plentiful. 

 Some nice Cosmos Lady Lenox is seen. 



Dahlias are still in evidence, but are 

 not now of good quality. Candytuft is 

 abundant, but hard to sell, and there is 

 still plenty of gypsophila. Such violets 

 as arrive sell fairly well. They are not 

 yet of good quality, but they are im- 

 proving. Some good gardenias are com- 

 ing in and a more abundant supply of 

 orchids. Oncidium varicosum Eogersii 

 is now much seen, also Vanda cserulea 

 and Cattleya labiata in abundance. 

 Quite a few Cypripedium insigne are 

 also coming in. Lily of the valley is 

 variable in quality. It is selling quite 

 well. Gladioli are done. Some late, 

 straggling asters are still seen, but are 

 of little value. There is a good call 

 for Asparagus Sprengeri, but less de- 

 mand for both adiantum and Asparagus 



plumosus. Smilaz is seen on some 

 stands, but is not in much demand. 



Club Meeting. 



There was an attendance of 150 at 

 the club meeting October 18, the attrac- 

 tion being Edward MacMulkin's lec- 

 ture on ' ' The Retailer, What Is Expect- 

 ed of Him and What He Has Been Do- 

 ing for the Last Thirty Years." The 

 lecturer handled his subject ably and 

 was given an enthusiastic vote of 

 thanks. There was discussion by Messrs. 

 Fisher, Kennedy, Pinlayson and many 

 others. The committee on S. A. F. en- 

 tertainment made a further report, 

 favoring a reception, collation and 

 dance at Horticultural hall or some 

 other convenient and sufficiently large 

 hall, in preference to a formal banquet. 

 The former would, it was felt, cause 

 more sociability and be in every way 

 more enjoyable. There was much dis- 

 cussion, and P. Welch, W. J. Stewart 

 and E. MacMulkin were added to th« 

 original committee to solicit contribu- 

 tions. 



There was an accession of eightecH 

 new members. 



Epi;ibits included chrysanthemums 

 frou S. Daniel Whyte and new varie- 

 gated seedling carnations from Peter 

 Fisher, each receiving a report of merit. 

 The W. W. Edgar Co. showed Lorraine 

 begonias. Paul De Nave brought a col- 

 lection of orchids. W. N. Craig als* 

 had a collection of cattleyas and some 

 chrysanthemums blooming in 4-inch
