An Interesting Paper on Window Gar
dening-Gen. Chapman Indorsed.
The Southern California Floral society
is to be known hereafter as the Southern
California Horticultural society, as be-
ing more comprehensive. The fees and
dues are doubled, and the meetings are
to commence at s o'clock hereafter in
stead of Z 80.
Mr.. J. H. Tomlinson, at the meeting
on Monday evening, read his "Plea for
Window Gardening" Many valuable
suggestions were made as to the kinds
of plants that would grow well, and their
proper care. Several varieties of orchids
can be successfully grown in windows in
Wardian cases. A mulch of moss is
good in this climate to prevent too
rapid evaporation of moisture.
A committee of five was appointed to
consider and present the best date for
next exhibition.
"Rose Culture" by Mr.. Bridges, will
be the subject of the next essay.
1t was unanimously resolved to rec
ommend Gen. N. p. Chapman for chief
of the bureau of horticulture at the
worlds fair in Chicago, and to forward
copy of the resolution to the secretary.

The advent of the railroad laborers have

it is well known, depend mostly upon their

state has given Mr.. Teter site upon

also supply of lumber and other building

Messrs Noel. Short and Deredes, the contract
