California Privet 



Grown as a Specialty 



You go to a specialist in other lines of busi- 

 ness because you know you will get the best 

 service. This applies to growers of nursery 

 stock as well. Give me a trial and be convinced. 



I have a large block to move this Fall, and 

 will quote you prices that will enable you to 

 get California Privet business. The stock will 

 be as fine as can be grown. Send your list at 

 once. 



I am growing California Privet to sell, 

 and I sell it. There must be a reason

BOBEBS ON NOBWAT MAPLES. 



Enclosed you will find a worm which 

 destroyed all my last fall's planting of 

 Norwaj' maples, boring holes right 

 through the stems. Can you tell me of 

 9ome means of getting rid of this pest? 



W. S. R. 



This is one of the borers which at- 

 tack shade and fruit trees. It is not 

 an easy pest to fight. I would advise 

 that the land where the trees were at- 

 tacked be well limed this fall. Plow in 

 the lime at the rate of 3,000 pounds 

 per acre and leave it rough over 

 winter. Borers, when once they have 

 appeared, are not easily controlled. 

 Watch for their appearance and dig 

 them out whenever possible with a 

 narrow pointed penknife, wire nail or 

 piece of galvanized wire. If you can 

 not reach them, in.ject a little carbon 

 bisulphide in the hole and plug the hole 

 at once with putty. The fumes of the 

 carbon will suffocate the borers. This 

 is a somewhat tedious operation, but 

 spraying is of no value, as it is in the 

 case of leaf or bark insects. C. W.

PACIFIC COAST. 



San Francisco, Cal. — Emile Serveau, 

 for twenty-five years a florist in this 

 city, and formerly associated in busi- 

 ness with his brother, Charles E. Ser- 

 veau, is now the sole proprietor of the 

 two large stores and of the nurseries 

 Conducted in his name. The old Ser- 

 veau stand at 2112 Fillmore street, 

 where the business was carried on for 

 a quarter of a century, is under the 

 personal direction of Emiie Serveau, 

 and the new shop at 128 Post street 

 also is under his nfanagement. The 

 nurseries formerly were under the di- 

 rection of Charles Serveau, but he no 

 longer has connection with any branch 

 of the business. 



ABEBDEEN, WASH. 



The leading social event of the sea- 

 son here was the flower show held un- 

 der the auspices of the Civic Improve- 

 ment Association, Saturday afternoon 

 and evening, September 2. A large 

 storeroom at the corner of H and Wish- 

 hak streets was used for the purpose 

 and was tastefully decorated by the 

 ladies of the association. 



The best exhibit in the professional 

 class was made by the Cramatte Floral 

 Co. The entire side window was used, 

 showing the many different styles of 

 designs, and mantel and table decora- 

 tions put out by this up-to-date firm. 

 The entire exhibits were sold at auction 

 to the highest bidder, with the excep-

The Market. 



With the passing of August, business 

 has taken a decided change for the bet- 

 ter. The amount of calls for bridal 

 bouquets is equivalent to that in June. 

 Funeral work, also, is picking up. The 

 chief source of worry is the difficulty in 

 securing sufficient flowers to cover the 

 demand. Several days of severe rain 

 storms have practically put all outside 

 stock out of commission. Several ship- 

 ping points were not affected by the 

 rain, however, and these are the only 

 source of supply for asters. Sweet peas 

 are about exhausted. Indoor stock is 

 also scarce. Carnations are a rarity, 

 which will be the condition for several 

 weeks to come. Roses are far short of 

 the demand. Out at the greenhouses, 

 carnations and roses are making rapid 

 headway and in a few weeks new stock 

 will be coming in. Violets have made 

 their appearance, but it will be several
