representation. This, however, for 

 good reasons, was not considered satis- 

 factory. The executive committee met 

 and a resolution was passed which will 

 be sent to the government, clearly set- 

 ting forth the trade's grievance, its 

 probable cause and its remedy. 



At the organization meeting of the 

 Victoria branch, certain changes were 

 made in the constitution, as applied to 

 that branch, so as to admit professional 

 gardeners to membership, make the 

 first year's fee $1 instead 6f $2, an^ 

 leave the future dues open for th'S 

 present, instead of making them $5, as 

 in the other societies. 



In the description of the new sweet 

 pea, Jimmie Bland, in a previous re- 

 port, Mr. Bland was wrongly stated to 

 be secretary of the Vancouver society.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 



The Majket. 



A wave of unprecedented warm 

 weather for this season has had the 

 effect of bringing into town an abun- 

 dance of all kinds of flowers, especially 

 such as mums and carnations. Boses, 

 too, seem to feel the heat greatly and 

 we have had an overabundance of them 

 for the last week. The asters are hold- 

 ing on much better than they usually 

 do and there are still quantities of 

 really good flowers in the market. Al- 

 though their season is about over, one 

 hates to see their finish, as they have 

 proven an extra good seller this year, 

 the public never seeming to tire of 

 them. Mums are now in their glory and 

 the prices have dropped quite a little 

 since last week. Carnations hold their 

 own, but some of the lighter colors are 

 rather hard to dispose of. In roses only 

 the best sell well, but these bring espe- 

 cially good returns. Valley is plentiful 

 and moves slowly. Japanese lilies, ex- 

 cept longiflorum, are over for the year, 

 and the same can be said of gladioli, 

 although a few late beds will be in evi- 

 dence for a few weeks yet. Business is 

 not as brisk as we should like to see it, 

 and everyone seems to think that a 

 good shower of rain would do some 

 good. 



The Flower Show. 



The regular fall exhibition of the 

 Pacific Coast Horticultural Society and 

 the California State Floral Society was 

 held in the Fairmount hotel, October 20, 

 21 and 22. Although not as large as 

 those of some former years, the stock 

 shown and the interest taken, both by 

 the trade and by the public, was fully 

 as great as at any other flower show. 

 The showing of carnations and outside- 

 grown roses, owing to the excessive heat 

 during the last few weeks, was not as 

 extensive as it might have been, while 

 the displays of orchids, dahlias, ferns, 

 stove plants, mums, tuberous begonias 

 and miscellaneous stock were the best 

 ever shown here. Too much praisfe can- 

 not be given to the gentlemen y^UiC at- 

 tended to the- details, and Messrs. Mat- 

 raia, Plath and Atkinson deserve much 

 credit for their skill in making the 

 affair such a huge success. Among the 

 exhibitors of chrysantliemums, the Eed- 

 wood Nursery Co. had the largest and 

 ro«»t- comprehensive Bhowi»g.— They 

 captured about a dozen firtt -prizes 'f«tA 

 specimens in pots, in single vases, and 



for collections from a dozen to fifty 

 blooms. Enemoto Bros, and Domoto 

 Bros, also received first awards for the 

 same kinds of flowers. 



In roses, F. Eosa took first prize for a 

 magnificent display of Kaiserin A. Vic- 

 toria and Beauties, as did E. W. Mc- 

 Lellan & Co. for My Maryland, Bride 

 and Richmond. The H. M. Sanborn Co. 

 received a second award on vases of 

 Beauty, Bride and Kate Moulton. On 

 carnations, Enemoto Bros, received first 

 prizes for best fifty flowers, also for 

 their collection and seedlings. J. A. 

 Carbone showed some extra good out- 

 side-grown Mrs. John Laing and Ulrich 

 Brunner. William Kettlewell drew 

 about a dozen first prizes for his col- 

 lections of dahlias, herbaceous peren- 

 nials, hardy annuals, vegetables and 

 hanging baskets. J. W. Bagge, for 

 single dahlias, received first award, and 

 Paul Uhlmann received second. P. H. 

 Eckelman got first for a large vase of 

 Minnie Burgle dahlias and the Golden 

 Gate Park also showed a large assort- 

 ment of these and other kinds of hardy 

 blooming shrubbery. 



The best award for tuberous begonias 

 went to F. W. Breen, with James Niven 

 a close second. The display of orchids 

 by the MacRorie- McLaren Co., compris- 

 ing thirty-eight varieties, was the most 

 elaborate showing in the hall. The ar- 

 rangement was decidedly artistic and 

 attracted much attention. They received 

 several first prizes for these and also for 

 foliage plants and specimen ferns. J. 

 A. Carbone, of West Berkeley, also had 

 a splendid showing of orchids, ferns, 

 carnations and roses. He exhibited a 

 beautiful specimen of C. Gaskelliana 

 and received an additional first prize 

 for a specimen of phalsenopsis. 



The exhibit of ferns was large and H. 

 Plath was awarded many first prizes for 

 the various varieties of nephrolepis, as 

 well as for dracsenas. W. Hill got first 

 on crotons and two firsts for specimen 

 cattleyas. C. F. Crocker was first on 

 Primula obconica, dahlias and mums. 

 E. James Co. received firsts on nephro- 

 lepis and cyclamen in pots. 



The department devoted to table 

 decorations was the center of much ad- 

 miration and the prizes were awarded to 

 J. Seulberger for the most artistic deco- 

 ration and the H. M. Sanborn Co. for 

 the second best. The MacRorie-Mc- 

 Laren Co. also exhibited a large lot of 

 bay trees of various sizes and shapes.
