The Florists' Review 



AcQUST 14, 1018. 



a good showing of flowers. Chrysanthe- 

 mums of the early yellow varieties are 

 coming into town jn fairly large quan- 

 tities, but they are not moving as rap- 

 idly as they will when they become 

 cheaper. Dahlias are good, and such 

 varieties as Thompson and Minnie Bur- 

 gle have ready sale. Gladioli are past 

 their prime, but there is still a good de- 

 mand for America and Augusta. These 

 cost the retailers from $2 to $3 per hun- 

 dred. Roses are generally poor, and it 

 will be several weeks before we can get 

 any good stock. Valley is not so plenti- 

 ful as it has been and is well cleaned 

 up. Japanese lilies are good sellers, and 

 none of them has gone to waste so far 

 this season. Trade is quiet, but the 

 prospects are for an early increase. 



Various Notes. 



The Pacific Coast Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its regular meeting on the 

 evening of August 2. Thomas Monroe 

 exhibited some of the finest single seed- 

 ling dahlias ever shown here. 



Tassano Bros., of Los Angeles, have 

 opened a branch store in Oakland, and 

 are supplying the retailers in that town 

 with green goods. 



A visit to the nurseries established 

 for the growing of young stock for the 

 coming Pan-American exposition shows 

 hundreds of thousands of evergreens 

 and bedding stock all in the best .pos- 

 sible condition. John McLaren is at the 

 head of the department attending to 

 this branch of the work. 



The picnic of the Retail Florists' 

 Association at Giant Canyon, Sunday, 

 August 3, was the most successful ever 

 held. All the stores closed for the day, 

 and practically all the retailers, grow- 

 ers and their employees availed them- 

 selves of the outing. 



Mrs. Ellen Sessions, aunt of Kate O. 

 and Frank Sessions, of San Diego, was 

 buried in this city August 9. The inter- 

 ment was in Cypress Lawn cemetery. 

 G. 



W. A. Seeger, manager of the Mul- 

 lanphy Flower Co., of St. Louis, Mo., 

 was in town last week. 



A TBAILING COLEUS. 



Referring to an inquiry in The Re- 

 view of June 24, page 56, under the 

 heading of "Coleus for Hanging Bas- 

 kets," we wish to say that we have 

 been growing a weeping coleus for the 

 last few years, under the name of Cecil 

 Brown, and listed it in our 1913 cata- 

 logue. It is free growing, of weeping 

 habit, has small foliage, yellow and 

 pink center, bordered with maroon and 

 green. It is said to be an old English 

 variety. We picked it up from a neigh- 

 bor and know nothing of its origin. 

 Under separate cover we are mailing 

 you a plant, and if we are mistaken as 

 to its name or identity we shall be 

 pleased to be corrected.

The plant arrived in good condition. 

 This certainly seems to be a true trail- 

 ing or creeping coleus and should be 

 useful for baskets, vases and window 

 boxes. I had not come across it before.
