The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



67 



the general public seems at the present 

 time to be more interested in the next 

 governor than about the prices of cut 

 flowers. I\ineral trade has been brisk 

 for the last ten days, and it has been 

 ■well divided among the various shops. 

 As a consequence white stock, with the 

 ■exception of mums, is rather scarce. 

 Extra good roses are seemingly an im- 

 possibility at this time. There is plenty 

 of short stemmed and second quality 

 stock and with this the retailers have to 

 fill their orders. Carnations are getting 

 up to the mark and another week or 

 two will find them even better. Violets 

 for the first time this season are really 

 plentiful and of good quality. Princess 

 of Wales, which is practically the only 

 variety sold here, costs the retailers 75 

 cents per dozen bunches. A few Paper 

 White narcissi are in season and valley 

 is in good supply and moves nicely. Ad- 

 vance orders for big mums for the 

 Stanford-California football game show 

 that all the good red and yellow varie- 

 ties will be used up. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Lilley, of Santa Cruz, is ship- 

 ping quantities of Five-finger maiden- 

 hair to the local dealers. This is the 

 finest variety of the native adiantums. 



John Meyer, formerly gardener to M. 

 H. De Young, of San Bafael, Cal., is 

 mow a resident of Oakland. 



C. C. Thorpe, proprietor of the Mon- 

 roe Nurseries, of Vallejo, Cal., is spend- 

 ing a few days in San Francisco. 



The farmers from the mountain coun- 

 ties are beginning to visit the retailers 

 in the interest of the Christmas berry 

 crop. Some samples shown in town 

 from the neighborhood of Vacaville are 

 of extra color and size. 



The Thorsted Floral Co., of Oakland, 

 is giving its premises a general over- 

 hauling. New mirrors and white and 

 gold trimmings are among the improve- 

 ments noted. 



Herbert G. Taylor, for years in 

 charge of the propagating and orna- 

 mental department of C. C. Morse & Co. 

 at their Hayward nurseries, has severed 

 his connection with that firm and is at 

 present residing at Fruitvale. 



The May Seed Co. has opened a de- 

 partment devoted to poultry supplies 

 and has given a large part of its store 

 to the display of fancy fowls and kin- 

 dred interests. G.

NAMES OF PLANTS. 



I am sending you three coleus plants 

 and wish you would give me the names 

 of each. E. S. 



No. 1 is probably a seedling coleus; 

 No. 2, Coleus Versehaffeltii, and No. 3, 

 Alternanthera paronychioides magnifica.

 resenting Wertheimer Bros., New York, 

 was a recent caller on the trade here. 



BEMEDY rOR MEALY BUG. 



I wish you would give me a good 

 remedy for mealy bug. E. S. 



A good pressure of cold water is the 

 best way to keep mealy bugs off your 

 coleus and other bedding plants. Use 

 a spray nozzle on the end of the hose 

 and it will blow the bug away. Fumi- 

 gation with hydrocyanic acid gas will 

 kill mealy bug. The formula for this 

 has frequently been given in the col- 

 umns of The Review. C. W.
