The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBBB 18. 1&17. 



Various Notes. 



The H. L. Olsson Co., Inc., is perhaps 

 the only concern which is grateful for 

 the continued warm weather. Up to 

 last week the company did not have its 

 greenhouse boilers corinected or its 

 pipes in. However, the management 

 expects to be in condition to have steam 

 up by the last of this week. 



Burnette Bros, are making a good cut 

 of carnations now. Next week they 

 will have their first cut of chrysanthe- 

 mums. Oconto, a new one in this local- 

 ity, looks like a winner. 



Peters & Sons are cutting good roses, 

 particularly Eussell and White Killar- 

 ney. Because of the great scarcity of 

 white roses, "White Killarney finds a 

 ready market. 



J. F. Austin expects to leave for the 

 coast sometime during the winter. He 

 will dispose of his interests in the Spo- 

 kane Greenhouse Co., Inc., and will de- 

 vote his attention to his other business 

 interests. 



Thomas Christensen, of Wallace, 

 Idaho, was a recent visitor among the 

 growers, buying supplies for the win- 

 ter. Jolly and smiling as always, Mr. 

 Christensen reports business fair at 

 Wallace. "Too much fair weather and 

 not enough frost," said Thomas.

SAl^ FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The stock situation is more satisfac- 

 tory than for several weeks. Chrysan- 

 themums are at their height, roses show 

 marked improvement, and more good 

 carnations are to be had. The weather 

 has been fine for chrysanthemums and 

 the blooms leave nothing to be desired. 

 Quantities of mums are being shipped 

 and the local demand was never better. 

 Many more varieties have put in an ap- 

 pearance during the last few days. At 

 the retail establishments everything has 

 to give way to chrysanthemums; win- 

 dows are banked with them, and the 

 interior displays leave little room for 

 other flowers. 



While most of the business is being 

 done in chrysanthemums, the arrival of 

 better roses is much appreciated. 

 Ophelia probably averages the l>03t, 

 although there is a good ci t of Shawyer, 

 and Russell shows much iraproveniout. 

 Cecile Brunner roses are plentiful and 

 good. Carnations, which have been a 

 negligible quantity for some time, are 

 coming nicely. Dahlias are about gone. 

 Cut cyclamens are not so plentiful as 

 a week ago, but there are plenty of 

 plants. The supply of violets is increas- 

 ing steadily; the shipping demand is 

 heavier. The limited offerings of Marie 

 Louise clean up readily. Gardenias are 

 ]>lentiful and their quality is excellent; 

 the same may be said of orchids, and 

 tlierc is enough valley to go around. 



Various Notes. 



Earl Toehlmann, of the Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., Chicago, arrived in San 

 Francisco a few days ago, having made 

 the trip by automobile. He has been 

 visiting the large flower stores in the 

 city and has been the guest of members 

 of the trade on trips to many of the 

 nurseries in the outlying districts. Mr. 

 Poehlmann planned to drive to Seattle, 

 Wash., and to ship his machine home 

 from there. He has been away since 

 August 5.
