The Weekly Florists' Review* 



OCTOBER 25. 1900. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The first rains of the wet season are 

 with us and the fields and hills are com- 

 mencing to appear in their winter coat 

 of green. The weather is splendid, and 

 the Queen of Autumn is at her best. Yes, 

 this weather we are having just suits 

 chrysanthemums, and they are coming 

 into market in large quantities. The 

 blooms are cheaper this year than they 

 were last year at this date. First-class 

 Queen and Bonnaflon can be bought for 

 50 cents per dozen. The good quality 

 of the outside blooms is the reason for 

 the short prices on inside flowers. 



Carnations are very fine and of large 

 size. Blooms of the Lawson, Marquis 

 and Olympia are coming in and were seen 

 at a few stores this week, but for size 

 H. Hobart is certainly ahead of anything 

 in the San Francisco market so far. 

 First-class roses are still scarce and vio- 

 lets are not very plentiful. 



Prices: American Beauties, $1 to 

 $2.50; Brides, Bridemaids and Kaiserins, 

 25 to 75 cents; Meteors, 20 to 75 cents; 

 Liberty, 50 cents to $1.50; Cecil Brun- 

 ners, 12* cents per doz. Carnations — 

 Hobart, $1; Crocker, 35 to 50 cents; 

 Lawson, Marquis and Olympia, 50 cents; 

 Bradt, 25 to 50 cents; mixed fancies, 50 

 cents; Hill, 20 to 25 cents; Scott, 15 to 

 25 cents ; Portia, 12 J cents per doz. 

 Chrysantliemums — Boimaifon, 50 cents 

 to $1.25; Queen, 50 cents; Viviand-Morel, 

 50 to 75 cents; Niveus, 20 to 35 cents; 

 outside chrysanthemums, 5 to 25 cents 

 per doz. Violets — Princess of Wales, $1 

 to $1.50; Marie Louise, $1 per dozen 

 bunches. Smilax, 5 cents per string. 



Notes. 



Mr. Thomas Bennett, Alden, Oakland, 

 had a nice lot of Viviand-Morel for which 

 he received $1.50 per dozen. His carna- 

 tions are in first-class shape, and he is 

 now cutting some very fine Flora Hill. 



Mr. John Jack is now head gardener 

 at the Babcock place, San Rafael. The 

 writer is very glad of Mr. Jack's luck. 



Mr. Malcolm Lamond, of Mountain 

 View cemetery, is on the sick list. Neu- 

 ralgia is the trouble. 



The Cox Seed and Plant Co.'s nurseries 

 on Piedmont avenue, Oakland, was vis- 

 ited this week by the writer. Everything 

 is in apple pie order. Araucarias by the 

 thousands could be seen in various stages 

 of gi'owth. Palms in variety were well 

 grown, also a very fine collection of 

 fancy dahlias in pots showed some grand 

 blooms. Mr. Vallance reports tlie busy 

 season has just started with them. 



Mr. C. Hasselbacher has planted a 

 large house with Asparagus plumosus. 



Mr. T. Stevenson, the London florist, 

 is cutting a fine lot of Viviand-Morel 

 from outside. Mr. Stevenson has G acres 

 at Millwood planted with chrysanthe- 

 mums and violets. He uses a horse in 

 cultivating them. The chrysanthemums 

 are so tall that while cultivating them 

 man and horse are hidden from view. A 

 mule will be used next year so his ears 

 can be seen above the blooms.

NEW GERANIUM 

 LITTLE PINK 



Or Double Fink **Mars/' one of the best nov- 

 elties of the Mars family. The first double of this 

 class ever offered to the trade. It is a very dwarf, 

 bushy, compact and extra free blooming variety, 

 not exceeding 4 to H inches in height. Its trusses 

 a pleasing shade of bright pink, upper petals white 

 at the base. Unlike Mars or America in color, it 

 has no trace of salmon shading. Its miniature 

 trusses stand erect, 3 to 6 inches above the foliage. 

 It is excellent for bedding, for the border, or as a 

 pot plant. Too much praise cannot be given this 

 grand little pink variety. Price $5.00 per doz., 

 $35.00 per 100. Half-tone cuts will be furnished 

 free of charee for catalogue. Correspondence so- 

 licited. Orders booked now for fall and winter de- 

 livery. Received certificate of merit at the New 

 York Convention of the Society of American 

 Florists.
