Mmtlon Th« Beylew when yon write. 



Chicago and New York and, returning 

 here, he expresses the opinion that San 

 Francisco has all the eastern cities beat 

 when it comes to flower stores. He com- 

 ments particularly on the larger displays 

 made here than in the east, which is 

 possible on account of the milder cli- 

 mate, lower rents and various other 

 factors. Mr. Tollard has joined the staff 

 of the Art Floral Co., in Powell street. 

 Having had fifteen years' experience in 

 the florists' business, he is welcomed as 

 a valuable acquisition to that establish- 

 ment. 



Mr. Podesta, of Podesta & Baldocchi, 

 says flowers were never better here at 

 this time of the year, nor business more 

 prosperous. Thanksgiving sales showed 

 a nice increase over any previous year, 

 and if that holiday's sales can be taken 

 as a criterion, Mr. Podesta says Christ- 

 mas business will break all records. 



Domoto Bros, have a fine cut of roses, 

 mostly Ophelia. 



Unless there is rain, Mr. Enomoto, of 

 Enomoto & Co., fears there will be a 

 scarcity of violets for the holiday sea- 

 son. He reports large shipping orders 

 on file. 



Since chrysanthemums have gone off 

 crop, the shipments of the United Flower 

 & Supply Co. are largely confined to 

 violets. 



According to Manager J. A. Axell, 

 never before did the E. W. McLellan Co. 

 have such a fine out of roses at this tim« 

 of the year, including Eussell, Ophelia, 

 American Beauty, Hoosier Beauty and 

 Hadley, and never before was the de- 

 mand so active early in December as 

 this year. 



C. Kooyman is saddened by news of 

 the death of his brother-in-law in 

 Canada, coming only about a week after 

 his brother died with the influenza. As 

 far as business is concerned, Mr. Kooy- 

 man says there is little room for com- 

 plaint. Thanksgiving sales were well 

 up to expectations and indications point 

 to a fine Christmas and New Year's busi- 

 ness. M. M. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Good stock is scarce. Local chrysan- 

 themums were exhausted by the heavy 

 demand Thanksgiving. The unsettled 

 weather conditions also have a bearing 

 on production. Carnations, roses, in 

 fact, practically all sorts of stock, seem 

 to be off crop. 



Various Notes. 



John Karlick, foreman of the green- 

 houses of Rosalia Bros., at Thomas, 

 Wash., spent last week-end in Portland, 

 Ore.

W. S. G. 



PORTLAND, OBE. 



The Market. 



The general run of business has been 

 far above expectations. The florists, 

 in fact, have been so rushed with orders 

 that they had no time to talk. There 

 is talk of putting the "flu" ban on 

 again and, if this should become nec- 

 essary, it will be so stringent this time 

 that it probably will interfere with 

 business. 



Sweet peas are coming into market, 

 but their quality is not up to standard. 



Various Notes. 



S. G. Lubliner reports business for 

 Thanksgiving the largest on record. This 

 firm has lived up to its reputation of 

 the last eleven years by displaying some 

 of the finest pot plants and cut flowers 

 shown in this section for the holiday. 

 Miss Cassidy is attracting a good deal 

 of new custom by her artistic colonial 

 corsages. 



The Holden Floral Co. is cutting some 

 fine roses from its greenhouses at 

 Grcsham, which were built recently for 

 the cultivation of roses especially.

 put his large stock of ferns on the mar-

 He grows ferns and greens exclusively. 

 Martin & Forbes Co. is showing some 

 wonderful orchids this week. Boses here 

 also seem to be in their prime just 

 now. A large vase of Laddie carnations 

 certainly surpasses other varieties. 



Mrs. M. Garside, wife of Wallace 

 Garside, of Clarke Bros., died December 

 2 at her home on East Thirty-second 

 street, after an illness of several months* 

 duration. She is survived by her hus- 

 band and two small daughters, her 

 father, James Kiernan, and a brother, 

 W. E. Kiernan. The sympathy of the 

 trade is extended Mr. Garside in his 

 bereavement. H. K.

 he will spend the winter.
