The Florists^ Review 



Sbftembbb 11, 1013. 



were badly injured by fire last week; 

 defective wiring in' the garret was the 

 cause. 



The dahlia show was held at Van- 

 couver, Wash., August 29 and 30. Many 

 fine flowers were exhibited. While 

 amateurs were the principal exhibitors, 

 the show was of great interest to the 

 public. 



John Olson, the local woodsman, has 

 purchased a one-ton automobile truck, 

 which solves the delivery proposition 

 for him. 



Clarke Bros, are growing the Prima 

 Donna rose extensively this season. So 

 far it has proved to have wonderful 

 keeping qua1iti«« and bids fair to be a 

 popular variety. 



A call at the various greenhouses 

 finds stock in general in good condition. 

 Mums are looking fine, in all varieties. 

 Special efforts are being made to have 

 specimen stock for the fall flower show. 

 Carnations are looking fine; while stock 

 is generally late, the new stock has been 

 coming in gradually. Roses of all va- 

 rieties are looking well. While stock is 

 short for the present, indications are 

 that there will be plenty by the time 

 the demand increases. 



Hendee Bros, have a good cut of 

 auratums and albums coming in, which 

 sell readily. 



The Clackamas Greenhouses, at 

 Clackamas, Ore., are building two 

 houses, 22x125, adjoining their present 

 place. E. B.

Business is dull. Asters are of fine 

 quality; so. also, are gladioli and the 

 cactus dahlias. 



The Spokane Florist Co. has some ex- 

 cellent baskets of cactus dahlias on dis- 

 play. The firm continues to have at- 

 tractive window decorations. 



The A. J. Burt Co. has an elaborate 

 miniature reproduction of the Munrpe 

 concrete bridge, which spans the river, 

 with the proposed steel railway bridge 

 towering over the river. It is a clever 

 display. 



The Hoyt Bros. Co. has a reproduc- 

 tion of Glacier park as a window dis- 

 play and it is quite realistic. 



A new flower store will be added to 

 the list here shortly; so I understand.

ASTERS AT LOS ANOELES. 



Fifty Acres for Seed. ^ 



The seed farms of the John Bodger 

 & Sons Co., near Los Angeles, are never 

 more interesting than during the aster 

 season, when all that is best in these 

 flowers can be seen. Some fifty acres 

 are devoted to asters alone and they 

 are grown on a southern exposure, so 

 that, looking north, they have the ef- 

 fect of an immense carpet of all colors, 

 with other flowering plants grown be- 

 tween the varieties. The number of 

 these that are grown is almost bewil- 

 dering, but the principal interest lies 

 in the fine strains of American Branch- 

 ing and the Giant Comet Branching. 



The American Branching type is well 

 known and almost universally grown 

 for florists' use, but the Giant Comet 

 Branching does not seem to have be- 

 come so popular as yet — why, it is diffi- 

 cult to say, for the flowers are im- 

 mense, some of them six inches across, 

 of the finest and most pleasing shades 

 of color and absolutely free from the 

 defect the older strains had, of show- 

 ing a bare center. 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS

 quantity. Positively the > best stock on the market. Prices right.

Bodger Strain of Comet Asters. 



The Bodger strain of Comet asters, 

 indeed, has always a raised tuft of 

 central petals that absolutely prevents 

 the center from showing, even if the 

 flowers were not full. The range of 

 coloring is as great as in the American 

 Branching types. 



One of the finest of all is a deep rose, 

 and the pure white runs it a close sec-
