owing to the cool weather. Tho suc- 

 cess of the new rose, Los Angeles, has 

 been so great locally that the firm has 

 advanced the price.

 recent illness and is back on the job, 

 though still showing the eflfects.

The Market. 



Although several frosts have come 

 and gone, they have been neither se- 

 vere nor general enough to influence 

 trade to any great extent. Outdoor 

 stock, such as asters, gladioli, dahlias, 

 daisies, delphiniums and gaillardias, are 

 still arriving of good quality and ap- 

 parently in sufficient quantities. Re- 

 tail trade in general "is quiet, funeral 

 pieces taking most of the flowers. 



A week of bright, warm weather, fol- 

 lowing a cool and rainy period, has 

 brought into bloom a large quantity 

 of roses, for which it is hard to find 

 profitable use. Mums are to be had 

 in extra good quality, but there is 

 practically no demand for them as yet. 



Varlons Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Olsson took an 

 auto trip down through Colfax, Wash., 

 and Lewiston, Idaho, in which they 

 combined business with pleasure. They 

 visited the florists at these and other 

 points in Washington and Idaho, spend- 

 ing a week on the trip. 



A. J. Burt is planning to redecorate 

 his store this fall and probably will 

 make several alterations. He has com- 

 pleted an addition to his range on Au- 

 gusta avenue, consisting of one house 

 25x105, which is to be devoted to pot 

 plants. Will Edwards, in charge of the 

 greenhouses, has been turning out some 

 fine potted stock since he got on the 

 job a year ago. 



Adolph Donart is growing roses for 

 the first time at his range at Coeur 

 d'Alene, Idaho. That he will be suc- 

 cessful is assured by the quality of 

 stock he is sending to the Spokane mar- 

 ket. A. J. Burt is handling the bulk 

 of the cut. 



Bernson & Halle are cutting about 

 the best carnations in this section, the 

 blooms being unusually good for this 

 early in the season. L. B. H. 



ROMNEYA CeULTERI 



(MATILIJA POPPY) 

 The difficulty in raising this grand plant 

 from untreated seed is well known. For many 

 years GaorB* Soutliard, of Re<Uan<ls. has 



treated his seed and can absolutely guarantee 

 at least 90 per cent germination. The Southard 

 process consists of removing the glutinous seal 

 with which this seed is coated in the natural 

 condition so that instead of waiting two or 

 three years, as in the past, growers of this noble 

 plant can obtain seedlings in two months. The 

 genuine treated seed can only be obtained from 

 us direct, and the price to the trade is: 



3Sc per packet of ! 000 seeds 



$3.90 per dozen packets 



, Cash with order.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Florists here are encouraged by the 

 way fall business is opening up. Most 

 of the downtown stores were well sat- 

 isfied with summer trade, and with in- 

 creased sales during the remainder of 

 the year the total volume of business 

 will compare favorably with last year's 

 record, which was particularly good on 

 account of the exposition. Stock is 

 gradually shifting from the great quan- 

 tities of outdoor summer varieties of 

 flowers to the usual fall offerings. 

 There still is a faij- supply of marigolds, 

 marguerites and scabiosas, but most of 

 these are inferior. Asters are trashy 

 and the quantity is falling off rapidly. 

 Some nice zinnias continue to arrive 

 and they clean up readily. The gladi-
