fied with the business outlook. Mr. 

 Barnard has been in the employ of 

 Stuart Low & Co. for fifty-two years 

 and is well known by all interested in 

 the trade, . 



It is rumored about town that John 

 Sievers is contemplating opening a new 

 store on Polk near Sutter street. Mr. 

 Sievers recently sold his nursery, and 

 his entrance into the retail world comes 

 somewhat as a surprise to the local 

 tradespeople. 



Frank T, Schlotzhauer, of the Francis 

 Floral Co., has been featuring some 

 skillfully colored teasels at the Me- 

 chanics Fair. The teasels dyed by Mr, 

 Schlotzhauer are delicate shades of old- 

 rose and lavender, and also the latest 

 golden-brown sunset shades. 



The Misses Hannon, on Polk street, 

 have been showing a fine lot of dried 

 Gladwin iris seed pods in their win- 

 dows during the last week. The Misses 

 Hannon make a specialty of this artis- 

 tic commodity, raising them on their, 

 ranch in Santa Clara. They have also 

 been bringing some fine sprays of 

 Crataegus pyracantha to the San Fran- 

 cisco market. W. A. H. 



SAN DIEOO, CAL. 



There' have been dull times during 

 the last couple of months, but, taking 

 the average, business has kept up well 

 and the prospects are good from now 

 on. There is a scarcity of good plants 

 at a moderate price and much of the 

 cut flower stock has still to be obtained 

 from a distance. But growers are im- 

 proving their places and figuring on 

 handling more in order to avoid ex- 

 press and freight charges. 



Lanier's has a much better loca- 

 tion now, at 144 B street, than the old 

 one and transient business has greatly 

 improved. J. Napier, formerly with 

 Howard & Smith, of Los Angeles, is 

 now here. The yard at the back of the 

 store is to be covered with lath, for 

 ferns and plants. 



C. Nearpass reports the best season's 

 business in seeds in the history of his 

 firm. 



Boyle & Darnaud have the new houses 

 planted and are already cutting good 

 short and medium Beauties from the 

 young stock. A number of orchids have 

 been put in, the Cattleya Trianae being 

 especially good stock. Business keeps 

 up well at the store. 



Miss Eainford reports better business 

 than ever before. 



The Harris Seed Co. says orders for 

 Dutch bulbs are heavier than usual. 



John Morley has obtained carte 

 blanche and greatly increased appro- 

 priations to carry on the good work at 

 the parks. While some loss was ex- 

 perienced during the recent hot spell, 

 yet the new plantings are exceedingly 

 Batisfactory in every way. 



Geo. Otto is as busy and bustling as 

 ever and reports business as entirely 

 satisfactory. H. R. R. 



TACOMA, WASH. 



The Market. 



After one of the slowest summers 

 known to the trade in this city, things 

 are opening up with good prospects for 

 a big fall and winter business. Stock 

 is in excellent shape and from all indi- 

 cations will be about as last year. Car- 

 nations are coming in slowly and are 

 of poor quality, but the later crop is 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



Over five hundred thousand this season, all colors, and in any 

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



We are also headquarters for Roaes, Orchids, Lilies, 



Violets, Greens, and in fact everything for the florist.

in fine shape. Early mums are scarce 

 and it looks as though everyone had 

 planted rather heavily in the later va- 

 rieties. Some growers report trouble 

 from the tarnish bug, but this seems 

 to be the usual thing every season. 

 California violets have made their ap- 

 pparance on the market, but are arriv- 

 ing in bad shape, on account of the 

 warm weather. 



Various Notes. 



The Smith Floral Co. is making some 

 minor repairs at the downtown store, 

 preparatory to the fall rush of business. 



Henry Benthien is showing some well 

 grown pots of ferns of the newer varie- 

 ties. ■ One variety originated at the 

 greenhouses of the Western Washing- 

 ton hospital is showing up unusually 

 well. 



Mr. Scott, salesman for the Pacific 

 Pottery Co., was calling on the florists 

 of this city last week. 



Mrs. Watson has been quite ill the

 eral greenhouse business.
