CALIFORNIA STATE FLORAL SOCIETY.
The California State Floral Society was organized in September, 1888, and is an assured success, a large proportion of the counties in the state being represented in its membership. At every meeting the rooms are crowded with enthusiastic adyocates of floral adornment of homes, towns and cities, who contribute exhibits, or read ess: ys for mutual benefit. the membership is largely composed of amateurs, but a number of leading florists and nurserymen take an active part. All Califor- nians should take pride in supporting such an institution.
The meetings are held at 1 P. M., the second Friday in each month, in the State Board of Horticulture rooms, 220 Sutter Street, San Francisco. The admission fee is $1.00, and the monthly dues 25 cents. The office of the Secretary, Emory E. Smith, is in Room 6, 126 Kearny Street, San Francisco.

OUR } GATALOGUE.
CSS SY SIS
UR aim in the past has been to give our patrons plants true to name, and of vigor- ous, healthy growth. Our labors have been unceasing, in this one great special- ity, and, as so few complaints have been made, we infer we have been more than
usually successtul in pleasing our many patrons.
In Descriptions of plants, their flowering qualities, and such essential informa- tion so very important to aid purchasers in making their selections, we have en- deavored to be truthful, rather speaking modestly of their merits than drawing a fanciful picture that would deceive, prefering rather a pleasant surprise, than disap- pointment.
We may sell less, but we feel more than assured of a happy hereafter.
Early Planting.
We have always recommended early planting in all soils, where practicable. Especially is this necessary with the rose, if fair results the first season of planting is expected. As most roses are nearly dormant before our rains, they commence to start early in the Fall with the slightest moisture, and therefore should be plauted at the earliest date the ground can be put in condition to plant. This applies more especially to Southern Calitornia, where the high temperature soon heats the soil in early Spring, enfeebles the growth of nearly all newly planted plants, and as natural result, may linger and are stunted or killed.
The same principle is applicable to all shrubbery, if fair success be expected.
Grafted Plants are objected to by many, because of the disposition to succor from the roots—unfortunately many of our finest sorts, either refuse to grow from cuttings, or of such poor habit that we must discard or graft them on a more vigor- ous stock.
Size of roses varies with the variety, a dwarf rose in habit, must not be expect- ed as large as those of a vigorous nature. Usually our plants run from szx to twe/ve inches in height, not little nurslings, but hardy strong plants—none of our roses are grown under glass except the new sorts, and these are planted out as soon as possi- ble.
To Our Patrons.
We guarantee our plants true to name, any that fail tu fully agree to the de- scription herein given, we will replace them, or refund the price paid for them. We will also replace any plant that fails to arrive in good order. We should be notified at once when the package is opened, if any are injured, and zo¢ after they have died by mis-management.
The Treatment of Plants when received by mail is very simple. All hardy plants, such as roses and shrubbery, can be at once planted out where they are to permanently grow. If this is not convenient, they may be planted in pots, or boxes, of suitable size that their removal will not disturb their growth. If they are to re- main in pots, the soil should be light and rich, using coarse lumps of manure for drainage. In the Fall or Winter, most hardy shrubbery is quite dormant. They re- quire no protection, but little care, only to see that they do not suffer for want of moisture. In Spring, or, when the weather is warm, these hardy plants are growing. When received, they then require shade, protection from sun shine and strong winds till they re establish themselves and commence to grow.
Susculent and Tender Plants are more sensitive. If dry or wiltered when received, they may be placed in tepid water until they recover. Carefully shade and keep cool for a few days. Decayed and broken parts of a plant should always
bess ay
be carefully cut offat once. In planting, light, rich soil, straighten the roots out as nearly as possible in their natural shape, and press the soil firmly around the roots and stem of the plant. Water thoroughly, then very sparingly till well started to grow.
The Amount of water a plant requires must be judged by the growth, slow growing ones take but little moisture, while rapid growth requires a good deal.
Soils are an all important item in successful plant culture. In pots or boxes it must be light and rich. Equal parts of clean, coarse sand and well rotted manure is good proportions to use for all rapid. susculent growing plants, such as Fuchsia, Geraniums, Heliotrope, etc., but for woody, slow growing plants such as Daphne, Camelias, etc., a closer soil is preferable. For all such, equal parts of clean, coarse sand, manure and red loam. Care must be observed in selecting loam, that it is fresh and rich. When possible, we always get it from the tops of the hills on the south side, from under the sloping sides of rocks.
Hyacinths, Tulips, and Spring flowering bulbs, are sensitive to the influence of manure. They flower well, but the bulbs are liable to decay from its use. A light, sandy garden loam is the best for such, selecting soil that shows no manure in working it with the hands.
All Garden Lillies, excepting Auwratwm and its varieties, enjoy very rich soil, they readily digest any amount of manure, provided it is well rotted, and does not come in contact with the bulbs. Awratwm is very erratic and uncertain, we find it best to grow in large boxes in the shade of trees, in soil composed of strong, red loam, and ordinary green moss. Put in a layer of moss one inch in depth, and then the same of loam, alternating each till the proper depth is filled to place the bulbs, then take a large handful of moss, place the bulb in the center, and fill the remainder over and around the bulbs, as in the bottom. The bulbs will grow very large and the blossoms will be of a regal beauty. Briefly, we have referred to soil and man- agement, these hints and a little good judgement should enable all to succeed.
We have forgotten one all important item, a nuisance that all are seriously an- noyed with, /zsects, Green-fly, Mealy-bug, Scale, etc. Green-fly is easily destroyed with tobacco smoke, or tobacco tea, made by steeping tobacco in water till the color of very strong tea. Apply with a brush by sprinkling or dipping. J/ealy-bug is best removed with the hand. Scale is the worst of all. Isolate a!l infected plants, and very thoroughly wash with warm soap-suds made very strong, to which may be add- ed a very strong tobacco tea. It is very effectual when repeated.
Letters of Inquiry cheerfully answered; always write your questions on a sep- arate sheet of paper, leaving room for answers to each, between each question. We can often reply much more quickly.
Extras. When making out your order, write it on a separate sheet from your letter. Mark the price to each, and aLtways select some additional plants, that would be acceptable. Sometimes we cannot send all plants wanted. A second list comes handy to select from; and often we feel generous happy. When in sucha mood, to know just what would LEEe our patron, the second list is just what we want to select from.
No Orders will be sent unless the amount of order is sent with it; this may be sent by Express, Postal Money Order or by Registered Letter. Do not send stamps, please, except when it is impossible to send any other way.
Orders for plants must amount to $1.00. We cannot and will not be bothered in the busy drive of work with smaller orders. Ifsent, we shall return it. Carefully see that your name is very plainly written, also your Postoffice, and County and State. It saves delay, bad temper, and often unnecessary sculding.
All Plants and Bulbs herein mentioned, sent by mail, postage paid, at the given prices. If ordered sent by Express, purchasers must pay the charges, but we always send, if possible, larger plants.

New Roses of 1888.
Se
We offer twelve of the best of the season; not having flowered them, our patrons will, ro doubt, make as big a ninny of themselves as we have been in buying at exorbitant prices. Usually fifty to one hundred new roses are sent out each year, and as a rule, not more than one out of each season’s crop proves of value enough to be worthy of cultivation, but our patrons will have them if not from us, then from some one else. We advise caution; there are plenty of gems in those old tried friends of years, that are always safe to buy and plant, and we repeat, never neglect an old, true and valued friend for the uncertain promises of a stranger. The de- scriptions are those of the raiser’s. Price, 50 cents each.

It forms a handsome bush for lawn and yard planting, and will prove of great value where white flowers are in use.

Gloire Des Polyanthas (Polyantha). A strong, dwarf growing Polyantha, forming a dense, compact growth, literally covered with bloom the entire season. Color bright rose, shaded with a lighter hue; often comes a deep rosy pink. A larger and finer flower than Mignonette, and altogether worthy of culture.
